"The Game" is a project designed to simplify the process of producing any high-quality cross-platform 2D or 3D graphical computer game. The hope is that any game can be produced simply by changing a few settings and pressing a "compile" button. The project has three "deliverables": a game engine library to abstract across the set of all possible computer games (applying object-oriented design methods to the general problem in such a way as to be usable in specific instances); a graphical interface for easy game design (an exercise in human interface design); and a gaming package with a lot of shiny games to play.
Mother of all gravity games (Moagg) combines several game genres such as races, search and rescue, seek and destroy, etc. into a 2D gravity game. You are the pilot of a small spaceship, and have to navigate through different levels. Beside the gravity that drags you down, there are other obstacles like magnets, black holes, cannons, rockets, tanks, etc.
Polyroids is a fast, colorful, and addictive take on the classic Asteroids theme. It's been ported to OpenGL and GLUT in 2002, which means you can build and play it on many platforms. There is a Javascript port, working with canvas in the latest browsers, so you can play Polyroids online.
