Tenth Second by RandomM00
I hope the game makes sense. I'm extremely tired.
It's a text adventure (you have been warned) aimed at being short and entertaining.
I've included stdc++6.dll in the Windows archive incase it is required. I'm not sure what dlls Go programs need.
To run the game after extracting the archive you should be able to double click on it on Windows. On Linux you need to open a terminal and cd into the folder with the game in, then run "./tenth-second".
To extract the archive on Linux you can use a GUI or run "tar xvf tenth-second-linux.tar.gz" from the directory with the archive in.
On both OSes you should get the intro in the command line and be able to play by typing commands in or by pointing your browser at "http://localhost:25565/".
The game runs a webserver on port 25565. Windows will probably tell you it blocked this feature.
The game is written in Go (golang.org) using just the standard library. You should be able to compile it be opening a terminal in "ifl/ld27", after extracting the source archive, and running "go build main.go".
The game should work on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. You need Go 1.1 or later (as far as I've been able to find out).

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
And to William Bundy: the file is obviously a zip file and not a gzip file ;) - try using unzip
Despite the *.tar.gz file name it's not zipped.
$ file tenth-second-linux.tar.gz
tenth-second-linux.tar.gz: POSIX tar archive (GNU)
If it were zipped it would look like this
$ file test.tar.gz
test.tar.gz: gzip compressed data, from Unix, last modified: Mon Aug 26 13:56:19 2013
so simply run
$ tar -xvf tenth-second-linux.tar.gz
instead of
$ tar -xzvf tenth-second-linux.tar.gz
@RandomM00:
Consider renaming the file to tenth-second-linux.tar to avoid confusion.
That being said, I liked text adventures and I never finished a single one of them ; guess I am not that good with them.
Is there a way to restart the game without restarting the server?
I dropped the grenade and went under deck.
Possible bug:
SPOILER
After firing the grenade at the enemy ship, I still got a message saying that the grenade exploded inside the cannon.
