Wine is a way to run Windows software on Linux, but with no Windows required. Wine is an open-source Windows compatibility layer that can run Windows programs directly on any Linux desktop. Essentially, Wine is trying to re-implement enough of Windows from scratch so that it can run all those Windows applications without actually needing Windows.
SCREENSHOTS:
Of Mages and Magic
DESCRIPTION:
Of Mages and Magic is an RPG based fighting game which may be used to teach simple programming concepts.
Students write artificial intelligences which hook into the main Of Mages and Magic executable. These mages can be organised into teams which fight each other until only one team remains.
The game is currently in early alpha, meaning some aspects of the interface are a bit clunky. However, in its current iteration, it is fairly suitable for teaching.
Any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated
