Open Source Go Games for BSD

Ebiten is an open source game library for the Go programming language. Ebiten's simple API allows you to quickly and easily develop 2D games that can be deployed across multiple platforms. In Ebiten, everything is an image: the screen, data from an image file, and even offscreen items are all represented as image objects. Most rendering operations consist of drawing one image on top of another. Ebiten games work on desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux, and FreeBSD), web browsers (through WebAssembly), and even on mobile (Android and iOS)! Plus, Ebiten is implemented in pure Go on Windows, so Windows developers do not need to install a C compiler. Nintendo Switch™ is also supported! While Ebiten's drawing API is very simple, Ebiten games run very fast with GPU power. Multiple images are integrated into a texture atlas internally, and drawing operations are automatically performed in batch when possible.

This project is a tutorial-style codebase demonstrating how to build a multiplayer online game (in the style of Bomberman) using Apache Pulsar as the real-time event stream backbone. With Go as the implementation language and the Ebitengine 2D game framework, the system handles rooms, player movement, bomb placement/pushing, destructible and indestructible blocks, scoring, and even replay recording. Central to the architecture is the use of Pulsar topics to propagate player events, score updates, map changes and to synchronize game state across clients. The project serves as a deep dive into real‐time multiplayer architecture, demonstrating how to manage latency, consistency, event ordering and room isolation. It’s more than a toy: it teaches how to apply message streaming, event-based functions, and stateful services in gaming contexts.

Sankofa is an application for the analysis of Oware (Abapa rule set) games. The goal is to enable players to recognize and to learn from their mistakes and to try alternative strategies. Run sankofa to show the interface on a local Web server at: http://localhost:10000* . Run retrograde to build a small end-game database. Sankofa is an analysis tool and not an automated opponent. It allows you to play both sides and shows the evaluation of possible moves, the game history and more. Please see Sankofa.md and LICENSE.TXT in the source code bundle for more details.
