Summary
games-sim
Debian Jr. Simulation Games

Simulation games tend to be rather complex, so they are recommended for older children, and even then some help from someone older may be needed.

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

0 A.D. (pronounced "zero ey-dee") is a free, open-source, cross-platform real-time strategy (RTS) game of ancient warfare. In short, it is a historically-based war/economy game that allows players to relive or rewrite the history of Western civilizations, focusing on the years between 500 B.C. and 500 A.D. The project is highly ambitious, involving state-of-the-art 3D graphics, detailed artwork, sound, and a flexible and powerful custom-built game engine.

Sinun on rakennettava kaupunki ja hallittava sitä. Kaupungin asukkaille täytyy hankkia ruokaa, asuntoja, työpaikkoja ja tavaroita. Voit luoda joko taloudellisesti vakaan, uusiutuvaa energiaa ja kierrätystä käyttävän kaupungin tai pilata kaiken ja rakentaa pakoraketin päästäksesi karkuun jätteiden täyttämältä ja köyhtyneeltä planeetalta. Kaikki riippuu yksinomaan sinusta! Koska alueella on rajallisesti resursseja, et voi jättää kaupunkia pitkäksi aikaa vaille huolenpitoa. Tämä peli muistuttaa samankaltaisesti nimettyä kaupallista peliä.

LinCity-NG on kaupunkisimulaattoripeli, joka on hienompi ja paranneltu versio vanhasta LinCity-pelistä: Sinun pitäisi rakentaa ja ylläpitää kaupunkia, hankkia ruokaa ja asuntoja, tarjota työpaikkoja ja tavaroita kaupunkisi asukkaille. Voit rakentaa kestävän talouden uusiutuvan energian ja kierrätyksen avulla tai voit tehdä vararikon ja rakentaa raketteja paetaksesi saastuneelta ja luonnonvaroiltaan köyhtyneeltä planeetalta, kaikki riippuu sinusta. Rajoitettujen luonnonvarojen takia tämä ei ole peli jonka voisit jättää rauhaan pitkiksi ajoiksi. LinCity-NG vastaa samantapaisia ja samannimisiä kaupallisia pelejä.

MegaGlest is a free 3D real-time customizable strategy game which takes place in a context which could be compared to that of the pre-renaissance Europe, with the licence that magic forces exist in the environment and can be controlled.

The current version is fully playable and supports both single player games against CPU controlled players and multiplayer matches over the Internet or a LAN.

OpenCity is 3D city construction simulator. You can build some zones of housing, trading and industry, electric plant and roads. Besides you can also raise or lower the terrain. OpenCity is similar in spirit to other city construction games, heading towards a classic SimCity feeling, although with some additional features. It is not intended to be a clone of any famous city simulator.

Pingus on vapaa klooni suositusta Lemmings-pelistä.

Ohjaa laumaa pingviinejä turvaan maailmassa, joka on täynnä esteitä ja pingviiniansoja. Vaikka pingviinit ovat melko älykkäitä (toisin kuin sopulit), eivät pingviinit aina saa maailmasta tarpeellista yleiskuvaa. Siksi ne tarvitsevat apuasi.
