🕶️ The game screen is very small (corresponding to the specifications of the NES, whose display is 256×240 pixels). A bird's-eye view of a Zelda-style game, where Link (the protagonist) is walking along a paved road, approaching a house in the middle of the woods. A mini-map at top left suggests a very large map. 📚️ ZQuest Classic is a libre, multi-platform, mature action-RPG engine, that comes with a clone of the NES version of The Legend of Zelda (1986, Nintendo). It lets you play numerous games (700 quests as of June 2023, mostly Zelda-like) designed by the community, and easily develop them thanks to its comprehensive, intuitive editor, which requires no programming (apart from the optional scripting language for extended functions), and also delivers data sets (traditional/improved). The project has brought together a community that has developed significant content, and its development is sustained.

Battle for Wesnoth - Campagne Liberté
🕶️ A bird's-eye view of a plain where the countryside blends harmoniously with the winding river, bordered to the east by mountain ranges leaving a passageway to the south-east for an army of invaders coming to attack Wesnoth castle located to the south of the plain. One of the protagonists defending the castle exclaims ‘Wha- How did so many of them flank us? We're cut off from Wesnoth! 📚️ The Battle for Wesnoth is a libre, multi-platform, single-player (AI) / multi-player (up to 8 in LAN / online) turn-based tactical strategy game with a high fantasy theme, in which the player recruits his troops to face powerful enemies, all in a very neat scenario. It is a mature game (nearly 20 years of development), very complete and of very high quality, offering several soundtracks, more than 200 types of finely detailed units, 16 races, 6 major factions, many campaigns and maps to download from the interface, and an editor.

🕶️ A view of its IU with on the main part, a top view where the protagonist - in the center, has just tested and abandoned on the ground many AK47 (he still holds one in each hand) in a futuristic room with other equipment laid on tables (first aid kits, weapons, gloves, bags, ....). At the bottom center a small interface shows the weapons carried and their loading status. At the top left, buttons to access the menus, at the top right a log window, and at the bottom right a small interface summarizing the equipment carried. 📚️ Space Station 14 is a libre, multi-platform online sandbox action RPG (derived from the game Space Station 13, which it improves and liberates) where players live aboard a space station, all with great freedom of action and scenarios (depending on the servers). Some players play as members of the space station, with different roles assigned, others are assigned antagonistic roles, with the objective of disrupting the station's mission. It can also be played as a simple shooter on the same station! Excellent!

🕶️ A view of its user interface (v. 3.0.3, dark theme, on my Linux PC, in French) with several tabs open showing different screenshots of Linux games. The active tab is open on a screenshot of the "Gameplay Football" game. I chose this image because it allows me to illustrate the use of the “Motion Blur” filter and because I'm not good enough at drawing to show my work :). Nevertheless, I tested this tool and found it to be both simple and powerful. Excellent. On the top right are the image layers (only one for now) and below that is the history (only one: “Open an image”), both simple and practical. On the left are the drawing tools, and at the bottom are the color palette, image characteristics, and zoom. At the top, in the title bar, are the edit menus and menus. 📚️ Pinta is a lightweight, libre & multi-platform bitmap image editor inspired by Paint.NET, allowing you to draw and manipulate images in a simple but powerful way. It offers the classic drawing tools (freehand drawing, lines, rectangles, ellipses, ...), adjustment and effect tools (35 tools), a complete history (allowing you to go back in time), layer support (to separate and group elements of your image) and a flexible workspace (fixed and/or floating windows).

🕶️ A view of its IU (Qsynth), on a dark theme, with its potentiometers (reverb & chorus) and control knobs. 📚️ FluidSynth (& Qsynth UI) is a libre, multi-platform, command line synthesizer based on the SoundFont 2 & 3 (= 2 compressed in Vorbis) standard to interpret MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital interface) commands from a MIDI device or file. External graphical interfaces are also available (Qsynth, gmf_synth). On the other hand, FluidSynth-DSSI is a modification of FluidSynth, allowing it to be used as a plugin (in server mode) and thus to be integrated into sound processing chains.

VS Code / VS Codium Tutorials
🕶️ A view of its user interface in a dark theme, with code editing on the right showing syntax highlighting, suggestions when entering code and code structuring in nested levels, the current project tree on the left, and the editor menus at the top and far left. 📚️ VSCodium is a telemetry-free fork (VSCodium=publishing Visual Studio Code binaries with "almost" no telemetry) of Visual Studio Code, the Microsoft libre, multi-platform code editor, combining the simplicity of a code editor with what developers need for their edit, build and debug cycle, and leaving more complex workflows to more comprehensive IDEs, such as Visual Studio IDE. It offers full support for editing, browsing and understanding code, as well as lightweight debugging, a rich extensibility model and lightweight integration with existing tools.

🕶️ A view of Goverlay's interface (superb, on a dark theme) showing on the left the vertical MangoHud settings tab (the Vulkan and OpenGL overlay for monitoring game-related system parameters), while the main part shows 5 tabs (Presets, Visual, Performance, Metrics, Extras), with the “Preset” tab selected. On the latter, 1 “Layouts” area with 5 buttons (Full, Basic, Basic Horizontal, FPS only, Custom) for selecting the physical aspect of the overlay, and 1 “Color Theme” area (Mangohud stock, Goverlay, Simple White, Old afterburner) for selecting a color theme. Further down, a “Blacklisted Apps” button, a “Global Enable” selector, a sandwich button and a green “Save” button. 📚️ MangoHud is a libre tool adding a graphical overlay (OpenGL and Vulkan support) allowing to monitor the system load (CPU/GPU load, framerate, temperatures, memory usage, and more). GOverlay is another complementary libre project delivering an interface to set up MangoHud, to choose what information will be displayed.

🕶️ An aerial view of a camp on a plain protected for the most part (notably its power plant) by a semi-transparent anti-missile dome. On the ground, combat units are moving away to the east, and in the air, a ship is approaching from the northeast. Numerous ground-to-ground and ground-to-air cannons surround the camp. 📚️ Zero-K is a (partially, see Wikipedia for the sound: CC BY-NC-ND) libre, multi-platform, single-player / multi-player RTS game with a sci-fi theme, a simple economy based on metal & energy, and featuring classic gameplay (4X for map supremacy) or tower defense (vs. increasingly powerful waves of monsters). The player starts with a mecha, extracts resources, builds his army and faces adversity on land, air & sea. A mature game designed by and for gamers, with 70+ missions, 100+ units, a clear interface, and an accomplished lobby client (solo/multi up to 32 players, co-op vs. other players and/or AIs, PVP, campaigns, content & player rating, content loading, fine tuning, ...). Fantastic!

🕶️ Its UI with a strategy game. The central part is occupied by a map divided into hexagons with pixelart units. The period is medieval, several Mongol units & a trebuchet surround a castle in the center. The units have an icon for easy understanding (mongol, sword, trebuchet, ..), slightly transparent when not selected. The Mongol on horseback on the right of the castle is selected. The castle (named Elephantine) seems to be under siege. On the left of the UI several command buttons (Sleep, Pillage Pasture, Explore, Wait, ..), below the characteristics of the selected unit (Keshik, 2 stars, XP 5/20, ..), in the lower middle a box with what seems to be a report on the selected unit (Keshik vs Elephantine). To the right of the UI, a message area ("The resistance in Sydney has ended!", ..), lower right a mini map. At the top of the interface a hamburger menu, and near it the title "Mongolia". At the top middle several indicators, the period (1520 AD) and on the right an "Overview" button. 📚️ UnCiv is a libre, multi-platform, single-player / multi-player (by exchange of "User ID"), turn-based strategy game (4X) & Empire building, inspired by Civilization V: the game starts in 4000 BC Christ, the player directs a nation or an ethnic group, with the aim of supremacy over the other protagonists, leading his group until 2050 AD. It's a neat game that offers in-game help to get started, solo/multiplayer, map editor and game save / load. Very good!
