Summary
games-gl
Debian Jr. 3D Games (hardware acceleration required)
These games all use OpenGL libraries. They will not work without
decent 3D graphics cards providing hardware-accelerated OpenGL.
While armagetron and gltron are different interpretations of the
game depicted in the classic 3D-animated movie "Tron", Tux Racer
is an all-original made-for-Linux 3D racing game. Unlike the
standard blood-and-guts fare in the 3D games universe, all of
these games are suitable for children.
Description
For a better overview of the project's availability as a Debian package, each head row has a color code according to this scheme:
If you discover a project which looks like a good candidate for Debian Junior
to you, or if you have prepared an unofficial Debian package, please do not hesitate to
send a description of that project to the Debian Junior mailing list

The rules are simple: you ride a light cycle (a kind of motorbike that can
only turn 90 degrees at a time, leaves a wall behind and cannot be stopped)
and have to avoid running into walls while at the same time you have to try to
get your opponent to run into them.
The idea is based on the Disney movie from 1982 called "Tron". If you ever
wanted to take a try at one of those speed demons features in the movie, this
is your chance.
Armagetron Advanced can be played against AI opponents, against other humans
over the network, or a mixture of both.

You play Bouncy the Hungry Rabbit. You're in a garden with yummy veggies and
a farmer who's not keen on you eating them. You can hide (and move around)
under the ground.
Bouncy was written so it could be enjoyed by the author's daughter, who was
about to turn 3, and by older gamers. Hence it's not a violent game and "easy"
is really, really easy, and "hard" is challenging.

BZFlag is a 3D multi-player multiplatform tank battle game that allows users
to play against each other in a network environment. There are five teams:
red, green, blue, purple and rogue (rogue tanks are black). Destroying a
player on another team scores a win, while being destroyed or destroying a
teammate scores a loss. Rogues have no teammates (not even other rogues), so
they cannot shoot teammates and they do not have a team score.
There are two main styles of play: capture-the-flag and free-for-all. In
capture-the-flag, each team (except rogues) has a team base and each team with
at least one player has a team flag. The object is to capture an enemy team's
flag by bringing it to your team's base. This destroys every player on the
captured team, subtracts one from that team's score, and adds one to your
team's score. In free-for-all, there are no team flags or team bases. The
object is simply to get as high a score as possible.
This metapackage installs both the client and the server, as well as generic
documentation files concerning the bzflag community, contributing to bzflag,
etc.

Extreme Tux Racer, or etracer as it is called for short, is a simple OpenGL
racing game featuring Tux, the Linux mascot. The goal of the game is to slide
down a snow- and ice-covered mountain as quickly as possible, avoiding the
trees and rocks that will slow you down.
Collect herrings and other goodies while sliding down the hill, but avoid fish
bones.
This game is based on the GPL version of the famous game TuxRacer.
You must have working 3D acceleration or this game will run quite slowly.

Karts. Nitro. Action! SuperTuxKart is a 3D open-source arcade racer with a
variety of characters, tracks, and modes to play. The aim is to create a
game that is more fun than realistic, and provide an enjoyable experience
for all ages.
Discover the mystery of an underwater world, or drive through the jungles
of Val Verde and visit the famous Cocoa Temple. Race underground or in a
spaceship, through a rural farmland or a strange alien planet.
Or rest under the palm trees on the beach, watching the other karts
overtake you. But don't eat the bananas! Watch for bowling balls,
plungers, bubble gum, and cakes thrown by your opponents.
You can do a single race against other karts, compete in one of several
Grand Prix, try to beat the high score in time trials on your own, play
battle mode against the computer or your friends, and more! For a greater
challenge, race online against players from all over the world and prove
your racing prowess!

Trackballs is a simple game similar to the classical game Marble Madness
on the Amiga in the 80's. By steering a marble ball through a labyrinth
filled with vicious hammers, pools of acid and other obstacles the
player collects points. When the ball reaches the destination it continues
at the next, more difficult level - unless the time runs out.
This game is not intended to be a replica of Marble Madness but rather
inspired by it. The game is also highly configurable by using a
scripting extension (Guile) and it provides a simple editor by which new
levels can easily be created.

tuxfootball
great 2D soccer (sometimes called football) game
|
|
License: DFSG free

It's bringing old style gameplay from DOS times back to the desktop with up
to date graphics! Its gameplay is similar to old classics such as Amco's
Kick Off and Sensible Software's Sensible Soccer.
The gameplay is designed to be quick, responsive and fun. You are always
in control of the player closest to the ball. The ball is controlled via
two different kick buttons - one for pass, and one for shoot. Aftertouch
can be applied to shots by quickly pressing and holding the direction you
want the ball to bend towards. Pushing in the opposite direction to what
you kicked the ball makes it raise into the air, pushing in the same
direction as the ball makes it dip towards the ground.
