Welcome to the PigaLore wiki!

Welcome to PigaLore, the wiki of Piga Software; we are a cooperative and, at present, non-profit organization of programmers developing free software for GNU/Linux and occasionally other systems - with a particular emphasis on game development. Our software is released under the GNU General Public License version 3, though some individual files within projects might be under other copyleft licenses and are listed in project copyright disclaimers.

Although we have used Visual Basic 6, QBasic, Game Maker and even ZZT-oop, most current projects are built in Gambas - a free software BASIC-style programming language consisting of a integrated development environment and run-time inspired by Visual Basic and Java that is well suited to GNU/Linux development. Our particular areas of interest are strategy, adventure and platform games, first person shooters and plot-focused titles; often with a sense of humour, though we work on whatever suits us at the time and some projects are developed with a specific intentional purpose in mind.

Latest Release

Over-The-Top-Menu.png

Over the Top is an action game set in the trenches of the Western Front during the First World War. The player takes the role of an unnamed soldier in the trenches of the Western Front. It is never stated what nationality he is, though it would have to either be French or Commonwealth given the entire span of the war is presented within. The first soundtrack piece is a British recruiting song, so that may give some hints, though the American song "Over There" plays for the 1917 push - when the Americans joined the war. The player can be move around with the arrow keys, and the objective is get out of the trench, cross no man's land, while dodging invisible machine gun fire, and storm the enemy trench - either killing (press space to fire your sidearm) or capturing (press the enter/return key) the Patroller and Gunners. The player is joined by three other Allied soldiers, but they only are little more than cannon fodder. As a matter of truth, they actually have no offensive programming at the movement - though this may change in later releases. More Information
