XMille is an implementation of the Mille Bornes racing card game. This implementation is played single player against a computer opponent. The card art is somewhat simple, but provides generally clear information on which card is which. Play is quite brisk, though is missing something without a human opponent.

This game predates the release of X11. In fact, it predates graphics at all, as there was originally a a terminal version called 'mille' by Ken Arnold from around 1982 that can be found in bsdgames nowadays. This graphical version uses some of the terminal version's code (uncredited!) and was written by Keith Packard for X10 in 1987, modified by Dave Lemke, then ported to X11 by Dana Chee. Steve M Robbins made some additional changes way later, in 2001.

This video is a demonstration of the game, with an extension to a 1000 km finish line.

See the article on my web site (zerker.ca/home/xmille.html) for the original quality video, as well as where to get the game and how to run it.
