EtherChess is a chess game for two players connected through ethernet for MaRTE OS. To play it you need two machines running the compiled program with a local ethernet link connecting them (or you can simulate this setup using virtual machines, with qemu for example).

The first public version is finished. You can download the source code or watch a gameplay video showing the game running on two instances of qemu connected through a virtual ethernet link.

MaRTEnoid was programmed as an example of how to use the vga driver in C with double buffering, and as a little tribute to the classic Arkanoid.

The code is not optimized and can be improved in some areas like collision detection and ball physics, but the goal of this program was making a quick, working and hopefully fun example, not making the perfect game implementation :)

This isn't exactly a game, but an implementation of John Conway's "Game of Life" for MaRTE OS.

From Wikipedia: "The Game of Life, also known simply as Life, is a cellular automaton devised by the British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970. It is the best-known example of a cellular automaton."

Note from the author: reading "Hackers: Heroes of the computer Revolution" by Steven Levy I learned about "Game of Life" and I thought it would be fun to make a version for MaRTE OS. Here's a quick and not optimized :) implementation, my little tribute to the original MIT hackers.

This package contains a few scripts the author made while programming some games for MaRTE OS to easily convert images to a format you can use with the VGA driver.
