Kate View File Many free and Open Source text editors are available, but some are simple, some are complex, and some fill a niche. Few, however, cross over into doing it all with a very usable interface. When you first start up Kate, you will see it's not rocket science. You're presented with a simple interface that lets you start typing immediately. However, as your eyes move around, you will notice various settings in a few different places around the edges as well as a ribbon-style toolbar at the top. You know you're onto something different here at this point. Kate has a split-mode window feature that can be used horizontally or vertically. It can also have multiple sessions and supports plug-ins. It also has encoding support, the ability to open files on a network, and is scriptable. Bookmarks are available for all your documents, and line numbers are always visible. The bookmarks are always to the side and can pop out and back as needed. It has highlighting support for specific words and over 250 languages. Of course, it also has on-the-fly spell-checking and search and replace functions. Programmers will appreciate scriptable auto-indentation, smart comment and uncomment handling, auto-completion with argument hints, and rectangular block selection mode. Finally, what would all of these features be without a backup? You can always save at any time, but Kate can also swap files to recover data on system crash and features a undo/redo system.

OpenLoco (Win, MacOS) OpenLoco is an Open Source re-implementation of Chris Sawyer's Locomotion, a construction and management simulation video game that simulates running a transport company. OpenLoco is an open-source re-implementation of Chris Sawyer's Locomotion (CSL). CSL is the spiritual successor to Transport Tycoon, and OpenLoco aims to improve the game, similar to how OpenTTD enhanced Transport Tycoon and OpenRCT2 improved RollerCoaster Tycoon. Chris Sawyer's Locomotion was initially written by Chris Sawyer in x86 assembly, building on top of his RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 engine. Much of the code is 1:1 with RollerCoaster Tycoon 2. However, the engine has changed substantially enough that OpenLoco currently does not share its codebase with OpenRCT2. Recent implementation efforts have focussed on re-implementing the UI so that the data structures involved may be better understood. Once this is done, we hope the game logic will be easier to understand and implement. File Information Submitter [[Template core/front/global/userLink is throwing an error.

Twilight: 2000 (DOS) Who wouldn't like post-apocalyptic games that present us with their version of the dark future and force us to think about the fates of humanity. Twilight: 2000 is exactly the kind of game that created its own version of the event and indicates how fast the world can go to war. The game takes place in the 1990s, when NATO and Warsaw Pact troops faced a brutal, devastating war that turned Poland into a devastated and infested country. There is really very little left of the country, and even that little wants to be controlled by the ruthless Baron Czarny. Of course, your goal is to do everything possible to stop him and prevent him from doing even more damage in such a hard-hit country. This is a very well thought out RPG game, where you have to organize a total of 20 soldiers who will obey your orders. Each soldier has his own nature, so each individual responds differently to orders. You have to pay attention to all the characteristics of the soldier - personality, abilities, languages he speaks, etc. The game requires quite a bit of planning to make your missions successful and to minimize losses on your loss.

Skynet (DOS) SkyNET was Bethesdy's final game based on a Terminator license. It was originally developed as a data drive for its predecessor Terminator: Future Shock, but during development it decided to become a standalone game. One of the noticeable improvements, this time was the ability of Xngine to display the game in a higher resolution of 640x480 (the previous game ran only in the classic 320x200). If you had Future Shock installed with SkyNET, you could also play the game in this new resolution. In addition to the new single-player campaign, new multiplayer options have been added. Like any sequel, SkyNET had to show that it knew more. The player's task is to prevent the machine from launching the recovered nuclear weapon. More variable environments, day and night missions, as well as driving and flying machines. All this is offered by SkyNET, wrapped in feature briefings and usual acting performances, as was the case at the time.

Burntime (DOS) People have always loved catastrophic scenarios where they imagine how bad humanity can end. These scenarios are the subject of many books, movies, but also computer games. One of those games is Burntime. The game itself draws you straight into the action. It is not explained what is the cause, but suddenly you find yourself on an Earth whose entire surface is covered by a desert. Cities have been destroyed, lakes and rivers have dried up, almost all of humanity has become extinct. Only a few strong individuals have survived, struggling for their bare lives and trying to find a source of drinking water. The game is a combination of RPG and strategy. At the beginning, you choose the character you will play for. The goal is quite clear: to find a source of drinking water, search for a need, fight monsters and defend the conquered territories. Gradually, you can expand your group, invite more people, and at the same time you can hire mercenaries to guard your territories. At the time of the release, it was a relatively innovative game with a new concept of gaming, and I believe that even today, many hours will pass before the game starts to bore you.

Transport Tycoon (DOS) In Transport Tycoon, you are in charge of a transport company starting in 1930 in the midst of The Great Depression, and your aim is to build up an empire of trains, ships, lorries, planes and helicopters, with technological evolution to be taken into account. You can play alone, or with a number of computer-controlled rivals. At the beginning of the game, you (and your rivals) have a large terrain at your disposal. The terrain is shown in isometric projection and includes hills, rivers, lakes, bridges, industrial facilities and a lot of small towns. It is up to you to decide how to start building your empire. Maybe you can begin by connecting two towns with a road, building a vehicle depot somewhere next to the road, and setting up bus stops in both towns. Now just buy a bus (initially, there are just a few models available, but more buses appear with time), set its schedule, and watch as it goes between both bus stops, taking passengers and unloading them, earning you money. You can also transport passengers by building train tracks, sea ports, or airports and then buying appropriate vehicles - trains, ferries, planes. If you set up a station next to an industrial facility (such as a factory, a power plant or a farm), you can also transport various cargo, such as coal, livestock or wood, which allows you to earn much more money than transporting passengers. Of course, you'll have to buy special lorries and train cars if you'll want to deal with these. Most businesses offer certain types of cargo and are ready to pay for transporting other cargo to them; for example, a steel mill has a lot of steel to fill your cars, and will gladly accept iron ore if you have any. Clicking on any of your vehicles brings up a small window where you can observe a live feed of what the vehicle is doing and look up its status. If anything important happens during the game (such as a particular station accepting its first vehicle), it is shown as a newspaper headline at the bottom of the screen. Various versions exist building upon the DOS original, with the most notably different being the PlayStation port, which in addition to the isometric graphics includes a 3D view of the world map taking advantage of the PlayStation’s graphics hardware. The game was followed up with the release of the World Editor and later re-released in enhanced form as Transport Tycoon Deluxe.

Bubble Hero 2 Bubble Hero 2 builds on the first game while keeping its basic formula intact. It's still a Bubble Bobble clone at heart. This time, two players can play together, choosing from a set of four characters; the first game's protagonists Abi and Ni Ni are joined by pint-size dragon boxer Beibei and the shy, studious Xiaozhen. The game has received an overall facelift, and is now depicted in high-res 640x480 hand-drawn spritework; an animated introduction and short cutscenes between levels also give the game a simple story.
