Open Source Linux Board Games

lichess.org (also known as Lila - lichess in Scala) is a free and open source chess server written in Scala 2.13 that focuses on real time gameplay and ease of use. It’s where countless chess players and chess enthusiasts can gather and watch or play from a selection of over a million games every day, analyze games, learn and improve their playing. lichess is equipped with a search engine, computer analysis, tournaments, exhibitions, a mobile app, a shared analysis board, and so much more. Thanks to its large active community, the UI is available in more than 130 different languages. lichess is one of the most popular chess websites in the world and remains totally free and ad-free.

Beyond its much publicized success in attaining superhuman level at games such as Chess and Go, DeepMind's AlphaZero algorithm illustrates a more general methodology of combining learning and search to explore large combinatorial spaces effectively. We believe that this methodology can have exciting applications in many different research areas. Because AlphaZero is resource-hungry, successful open-source implementations (such as Leela Zero) are written in low-level languages (such as C++) and optimized for highly distributed computing environments. This makes them hardly accessible for students, researchers and hackers. Many simple Python implementations can be found on Github, but none of them is able to beat a reasonable baseline on games such as Othello or Connect Four. As an illustration, the benchmark in the README of the most popular of them only features a random baseline, along with a greedy baseline that does not appear to be significantly stronger.

Eagle Mode is a zoomable user interface (ZUI) with file manager, file viewers, games, and more. This project is about a futuristic style of human-computer interaction, where the user can visit almost everything simply by zooming in. It features a portable C++ toolkit API for developing such ZUIs, and it features the Eagle Mode application, which provides a virtual cosmos with plugin applications. The most important one is the professional file manager with its rich, scriptable command set. It integrates file viewers for most of the common file types, as well as an audio and video player. Furthermore, the virtual cosmos contains a chess game, a netwalk game, a 3D minesweeper game, a multi-function clock, a stock watchlist, some fractals, and a Linux kernel configurator in form of a kernel patch.

NaruGo is game AI project. Current targets are GO board game and Texas Holdem poker. It investigates Genetic programming to build game AI logic. Also EA/GP simulations for TSP, Graph layout and Prisoners Dilemma problem.

This library is an attempt to create a flexible chess engine using the Java programing language. The main diference than others chess engine's is that it is only a library, and it can be attached to any program, including a web application. If you are interested to contribute please contact me.

Framework to implement board and card games including some already developed games. Typical game elements are offered by this library, so developers just care on the essential aspects that differ. Games created with tjger are also hosted (Four wins, Oasch, Schnapsen, Trap the Wizard, etc.) and the Tjger Game Pack contains all these games.

jChecs is an open source Java chess program, designed to introduce the basics of computer chess programming concepts.

This project has been moved away from sourceforge. See http://software.schmorp.de for the new location.

ABKit is a C++ library intended to accelerate board games development by providing the thinking engine under the Alpha-Beta algorithm. The application just need to create a few C++ methods to adapt to the actual game (like Chess, Checkers, ...).

Network gaming environment for AI warriors. Offers an application server, a soccer game application, an observer module visualizing a match and a template code for the warriors development.

Ataraxia will provide a generic internet gaming framework in java. Board, table, card games will be easy to be developed! bridge, hearts, spades, rummy, go, connect-4, chess, checkers, monopoly, risk, mahjong and more will come! JXTA P2P will be tested.

Framework for creation of board games. Chess is built-in, Monopoly comes next. It addresses: 1) Players 2) Game authors 3) AI developers 4) Model-based developers. Developed by software professionals using EMF. New games are configured in few hours.

C/CIF is an interchange format for chess applications. This format is supporting all features of a chess application - PGN does not provide this - and can be used to transfer chess archives without any loss via an application independent format. C/CIF is supporting two formats: the binary format CCIF, and the human readable format CIF (in XML).

Given a placement of pieces on a chessboard, find the move which forces checkmate as rapidly as possible.

This sofware is designed to help different chess clubs to set up their own rating system. It uses USCF approximation formulas for rating calculations. Working example at newarkcc.vfutbole.ru

This project is intended as an example implementation of Java with SWT and Draw2D. It is also a pretty good Connect4 game that you play against the computer.

This chess program changes its strength to give the best match against you. Eventually it learns to beat you specifically through learning alogirthms. Features included transposition tables and a elementary 3-piece endgame tablebase.

Generic Game Framework in eiFFel (G2F3) aims to simplify the development of two player zero sum strategy games by separating game specific code from reusable generic code. So far, abstract board games are best supported.

Basic framework for creating networkable games.

Since version 3 (inclusive) the project was moved to https://github.com/bagaturchess/EGTB-In-Java Portable Java API for usage of Gaviota Endgame Tablebases

GeneThello (read jə-ˈne-ˈthe-lō), is an acronym for genetic othello, an othello (reversi) playing program which based on Genetic Algorithm (GA). In principle GeneThello consist of an othello program and a genetic algorithm system.

An engine/framework for isometric games (like japanese RPGs) for mobile devices supporting J2ME (MIDP 1.0). This engine will manage maps, objects and characters. A full Action-RPG using this library is going to be released... Stay tuned...
