Open Source Linux Simulation Games

Founded in 1997, FlightGear is developed by a worldwide group of volunteers, brought together by a shared ambition to create the most realistic flight simulator possible that is free to use, modify and distribute. FlightGear is used all over the world by desktop flight simulator enthusiasts, for research in universities and for interactive exhibits in museums. FlightGear features more than 400 aircraft, a worldwide scenery database, a multi-player environment, detailed sky modelling, a flexible and open aircraft modelling system, varied networking options, multiple display support, a powerful scripting language and an open architecture. Best of all, being open-source, the simulator is owned by the community and everyone is encouraged to contribute.

Speed Dreams is a Motorsport Simulator featuring high-quality 3D graphics and an accurate physics engine, all targeting maximum realism. Initially forked from TORCS, it has now reached a clearly higher realism level in visual and physics simulation, thanks to its active development team and growing community. It mainly aims to implement exciting new features, cars, tracks and AI opponents to make a more enjoyable game for the player, while constantly pushing forward visual and physics realism. It is also intended for any research, study or teaching activity, around physics and AI, thanks to its GPL V2+ license, and the clear and modular architecture of its C/C++ code base.

Have you ever wanted to blow something up? Or maybe you always dreamt of operating an atomic power plant? Do you have a will to develop your own CPU? The Powder Toy lets you to do all of these, and even more! The Powder Toy is a free physics sandbox game, which simulates air pressure and velocity, heat, gravity and a countless number of interactions between different substances! The game provides you with various building materials, liquids, gases and electronic components which can be used to construct complex machines, guns, bombs, realistic terrains and almost anything else. You can then mine them and watch cool explosions, add intricate wirings, play with little stickmen or operate your machine. You can browse and play thousands of different saves made by the community or upload your own

sims3tools provides a set of tools for the Sims3 modder, based around the s3pi library. It includes: a package editor (s3pe), which allows most useful resources to be edited; an Object / CAS Part cloner (s3oc) for creating a base for modifications; a sims3pack packer/unpacker (s3su), which simplifies handling the content of these files; a string table editor (s3se) for allowing string table resources to be efficiently edited; plus a number of additional utilities. Note that development on sims3tools has now finished.

AirSim is an open-source, cross platform simulator for drones, cars and more vehicles, built on Unreal Engine with an experimental Unity release in the works. It supports software-in-the-loop simulation with popular flight controllers such as PX4 & ArduPilot and hardware-in-loop with PX4 for physically and visually realistic simulations. It is developed as an Unreal plugin that can simply be dropped into any Unreal environment. AirSim's development is oriented towards the goal of creating a platform for AI research to experiment with deep learning, computer vision and reinforcement learning algorithms for autonomous vehicles. For this purpose, AirSim also exposes APIs to retrieve data and control vehicles in a platform independent way. AirSim is fully enabled for multiple vehicles. This capability allows you to create multiple vehicles easily and use APIs to control them.

StepMania is a music/rhythm game. The player presses different buttons in time to the music and to note patterns that scroll across the screen. Features 3D graphics, visualizations, support for gamepads/dance pads, a step recording mode, and more! WE HAVE MOVED TO GITHUB.

A GUI client application for Downloading Installing and Playing Americas Army 2.5 on Windows, Mac and Linux with a new custom authorization system.

"Roberge's Used Robot (RUR) : a Python Learning Environment" is a Python implementation of a "robot environment" as introduced by R. Pattis in 1981. **It is obsolete.** See https://github.com/aroberge/rur-ple

"Sims 3 Package Interface" provides a core library of portable code that "understands" Sims3 game packages. Note that (with some minor tweaks) the core library code also understands other game package formats (e.g. SimCity Online, Sims4). Along with the core library are a number of "wrappers" that provide the main part of the project. These handle deserialization and serialization of data within the package (or any other source). Further tools (not supplied here) can use the core library and wrappers to manipulate the data content of package files. Note that development on this library and wrappers provided here has now finished.

A 3D rally simulation with a great physics engine for drifting, over 200 maps, different terrain materials like dirt, asphalt, sand, ice etc. and various weather, light and fog conditions give this rally simulation the edge over many other free games. You need to make it through the maps in often tight time limits and can further improve by beating the recorded high scores. All attached single races must be finished in time in order to win an event, unlocking additional events and cars. Most maps are equipped with spoken co-driver notes and co-driver icons. Many configuration details for display and audio adjustments can be edited in the well documented plain text configuration file. Additional contributed maps and events are ready for download as plugins. Trigger Rally works well with common low performance laptops from about 2008. And if something like snow flakes and vegetation sprites demand to much from your system you can just disable it.
