Open Source Puzzle Games

Ataraxia will provide a generic internet gaming framework in java. Board, table, card games will be easy to be developed! bridge, hearts, spades, rummy, go, connect-4, chess, checkers, monopoly, risk, mahjong and more will come! JXTA P2P will be tested.

Shared objects for algebra (moves) on various surfaces (game boards) including cylinders, helices, spheres, hemispheres, tori, Mobius' strip, Klein's bottles, ...

A generic library made to represent Puzzles and programs to solve them (Solvers), a specialization for 2d puzzles, specialization for the N-Puzzle, Several solving algorithms for the N-Puzzle. Command line and Graphical User Interface for N-Puzzles.

This project implements the "fifteen puzzle", but it has a twist: the program can solve the puzzle perfectly. The project contains a simple JAVA framework that implements heuristic goal-seeking algorithms. We use this to search for the best solution, but the framework is general-purpose and can be used for similar one-person puzzles. Using this framework will allow developers to focus on a specific domain of interest, while leaving many of the AI concepts and goal-searching concepts to be implemented by the framework The front-end classes use Swing and thus can be run via the Web. Feel free to ask questions or to send feedback.

Do you have a Sudoku to solve? Or want to verify your solution? JSudokuSolver can do this for you! In contrast to other Sudoku solving tools, this program does so by using the same rules a human would. So you can improve your Sudoku solving skills.

Moved to github: https://github.com/claycephus/MineSweeperWhiz Artificial intelligence solver as well as a human-playable mode for Mine Sweeper.

Multilayer neural network sudoku generator that can be trained to produce puzzles with different degree of dificulty and imitate those made by people.

Learn basic constraint logic programming by solving logic word puzzles. Go to http://eclipse.dougedmunds.com . This tutorial will show you how to solve easy 1 star to hard 5 star puzzles, using the eCLiPSe-CLP language (available at http://eclipseclp.org/). Don't confuse this programming language (a prolog language) with the IDE for Java.

SudokuExpert is an expert system that resolves sudoku puzzles. It uses the jboss rules (drools) inference engine and swt for the graphical library.

Tourk is a framework for developing programming games, where two (or more) people write game playing code (like Deep Blue) and a controller puts the two against each other.

Witz is a chess program that is designed to work with a Winboard interface.

Its strange how the "sorted pointers" normalizing makes just about any random function, as long as it connects the inputs to the outputs on some path, vibrate as some nonlinear shape of wave. This could be used as a game interface for evolvable musical instruments or fluid puzzle games. Physicsmata is similar in effect to SmoothLife but simpler and pure Java. The cellular automata API takes a function to run at each point. Its parameters are sums of screen brightness (n color dimensions are optional) at concentric circles around each point, efficiently costing only the perimeter of those circles (instead of the area) because of the tree of squares. You can create any function, or to get started try the visual function editor where each click changes if a column is sine/sigmoid/half/double/exp/etc or which of the 0, 1, or 2 columns to the left are its params. Every click changes the patterns of waves seen on the left, which run that function you visually built at each point.
