Free attract software for linux

FooBillard is a free OpenGL-billard game for Linux with realistic physics, AI-player and many gametypes like pool carambol or snooker. Why foo? Well, actually I had this logo (F.B.-Florian Berger) and then foo sounds a bit like pool (Somehow I wasnt quite attracted by the name FoolBillard) The main physics is quite mature but not yet perfect. If you are a billard-pro and youre missing some physics, please tell me. Cause Ive implemented it like I think it should work, which might differ from reality.

Arithmetic Operations Simulation Librarys aim is to develop an open source library to simulate heavy arithmetic operations efficiently.
Finding different ways to solve a problem has been an interesting way to relax for many people. Not only they derive some kicks out of it, but as a side effect they develop much deeper insight into the problems enabling them to work out solutions under different constraints easily.
Here you will find discussion/hints to solve some common programming problems in efficient ways, supported with code that you can try.
DSP Programming Tricks
Often support for many heavy arithmetic operations goes missing to reduce the chip cost for marketability reasons, or during chip development stages. And we programmers have to make for the lack of these.
Accessing recent N items in history
This problem attracted my attention during DSP guest lectures by Mr. Ganesh Bhokare at PUCSD in later half of 2005. Various programming solutions to this problem would be.
Maintain a circular buffer in an array of N (or N+1) items. This will require support for MOD operation.
In case N is a power of 2, bitwise-anding with (N-1) can be used in place of MOD.
If neither N is a power of 2, nor MOD support is available?
Enhancements:
- This version supports finding the first 1/0 bit from left/right (lsb/msb), 16-bit unsigned numbers multiplication, division and mod operations, and also special cases of division by 3.

Quiet Console Town project is a console RPG city simulator.

Console RPGs have you visiting towns all the time, but Quiet Console Town puts you in the place of the mayor of a budding new city. Build shops, attract adventurers, hope villains overlook you: all the aspects of a console RPG town are yours.

Welcome to your everyday ordinary quiet console town. By the looks of your deceased friend there, youll probably want to stay a night at the Inn. Yes, those puncture wounds and missing organs certainly seem fatal, but all he needs is a good nights sleep and then (somehow) hell be good as new. In the meantime, might I direct you to our armor shop?

A bit of plate inbetween you and the monster might help you stay healthy! I see your thief seems anxious - theres some shady characters near the magic shop she might want to meet up with. Finally, once youre all done, perhaps you could look into the matter of our haunted mine...?

Quiet Console Town is a turn-based console RPG city simulator. You, as mayor, build the kind of RPG town youve always wanted heroes to visit. Buildings range from the simple Inn to the intricate dungeons beneath your mighty Citadel.

People can be as good as the most pious do-gooder, or evil as the most black-hearted villain. Make your city a bulwark against the forces of darkness, or a haven to shady characters round the world!

SEM2DPACK is a simulator of 2D elastic wave propagation and fracture dynamics that applies the Spectral Element Method (SEM, similar to mass-lumped high-order finite element methods). SEM2DPACK main goals are flexibility and accuracy.
Although the emphasis is currently on computational seismology and earthquake source dynamics, this tool might attract a wider audience in computational mechanics, research, and engineering.
Enhancements:
- fixed obliquely incident plane waves (see SRC_WAVE input block) FR 1676280
- moment tensor sources (see new SRC_DOUBLE_COUPLE and SRC_MOMENT input blocks)
- source time function interpolated (spline) from a user supplied file
- allow source locations at interelement nodes
- SRC_RICKER input block name changed to STF_RICKER
- argument "Periodic" deleted from BC_XXX blocks (now handled internally)
- interpolation of scalar snapshot plots
- POST/movie.csh now crops the figure only upon request (-crop option)

Net::ICQ2000 is a Perl module for handling the ICQ2000 protocol.

This module was written by Robin Fisher and works very well, hes let me take over as the maintainer of the module for the time being and now Im looking to attract more developers to improve this software.

WorldForge::Mason is the second game system being developed by WorldForge. The primary focus for Mason is to enable players to build a persistent world in-game. Players will be able to manipulate items by creating new items from raw materials, attaching existing items together or splitting items into component parts.
Complicated structures such as houses can be designed on paper as a blueprint and then built with suitable building blocks and skills.
Reaching this milestone will require expanding not only our existing server and client code, but also refining the Atlas protocal that connects them.
The expansion will cover item creation (using a recipe system), construction of houses and other large structures (attaching items together), creating complex machines (combining simple machine parts), simulating organic reactions (festering wounds, adrenaline rush) with a detailed body system, editing text and other information objects in-game, and running an economy that changes with the world.
To demonstrate these techniques we will create a competitive and cooperative game centering about settling the uninhabited lands in the north-western corner of Moraf in our Dural world.
The players can play either human settlers attracted by the rumors of gold or promises of free land, or orcs, driven down to the plains from the overpopulated dens of the orc tribes of Sarnak.
Game
This section contains things related to the Mason Game in general, such as background story, game objectives, and planned features for version 1.0 of the game. It will also contain an installation guide, a players guide, and a game administrators guide. Theres also a page of links to screenshots and downloads.
If you are a potential future player and would like to know what the game will be like, or a creative writer interested in making the game interesting and fun to play, or if you want to write or translate documentation for end users, then this is the place for you.
Technology
This section contains the design of the various abstract systems that will implement all the central features of Mason. The systems include: the Item System, the Mechanical System, the Information Object System, the Body System, the Mind System, and others.
If you are a developer or game designer, interested in how all the revolutionary features supported by Mason are going to be implemented, then this section is for you.
Content
This section deals with all the general data needed for the Mason Game: item and creature descriptions and stats, maps of the Moraf area in the Dural world, and media for items and terrain. This data can be directly reused in later games.
If you are a world designer, artist, musician, or a MU* wizard who loves creating cool new items, then this section is for you.
Enhancements:
- Mason is now supported in two major 3D clients, Ember and Sear.
- An advanced terrain system has been implemented, including procedural texturing, paths, modified areas, and swimming in water.
- Building materials and resources can be gathered from the world using tools.
- Work has started on a new combat system.

HTMLParser is a super-fast real-time parser for real-world HTML. What has attracted most developers to HTMLParser has been its simplicity in design, speed and ability to handle streaming real-world html.
The two fundamental use-cases that are handled by the parser are extraction and transformation (the syntheses use-case, where HTML pages are created from scratch, is better handled by other tools closer to the source of data). While prior versions concentrated on data extraction from web pages, Version 1.4 of the HTMLParser has substantial improvements in the area of transforming web pages, with simplified tag creation and editing, and verbatim toHtml() method output.
In order to use HTMLParser you will need to be able to write code in the Java programming language. Although some example programs are provided that may be useful as they stand, its more than likely you will need (or want) to create your own programs or modify the ones provided to match your intended application.
To use the library, you will need to add either the htmllexer.jar or htmlparser.jar to your classpath when compiling and running. The htmllexer.jar provides low level access to generic string, remark and tag nodes on the page in a linear, flat, sequential manner. The htmlparser.jar, which includes the classes found in htmllexer.jar, provides access to a page as a sequence of nested differentiated tags containing string, remark and other tag nodes. So where the output from calls to the lexer nextNode() method might be:
< html>
< head>
< title>
"Welcome"
< /title>
< /head>
< body>
etc...
The output from the parser NodeIterator would nest the tags as children of the , and other nodes (here represented by indentation):
< html>
< head>
< title>
"Welcome"
< /title>
< /head>
< body>
etc...
The parser attempts to balance opening tags with ending tags to present the structure of the page, while the lexer simply spits out nodes. If your application requires only modest structural knowledge of the page, and is primarily concerned with individual, isolated nodes, you should consider using the lightweight lexer. But if your application requires knowledge of the nested structure of the page, for example processing tables, you will probably want to use the full parser.
Extraction
Extraction encompasses all the information retrieval programs that are not meant to preserve the source page. This covers uses like:
- text extraction, for use as input for text search engine databases for example
- link extraction, for crawling through web pages or harvesting email addresses
- screen scraping, for programmatic data input from web pages
- resource extraction, collecting images or sound
- a browser front end, the preliminary stage of page display
- link checking, ensuring links are valid
- site monitoring, checking for page differences beyond simplistic diffs
There are several facilities in the HTMLParser codebase to help with extraction, including filters, visitors and JavaBeans.
Transformation
Transformation includes all processing where the input and the output are HTML pages. Some examples are:
- URL rewriting, modifying some or all links on a page
- site capture, moving content from the web to local disk
- censorship, removing offending words and phrases from pages
- HTML cleanup, correcting erroneous pages
- ad removal, excising URLs referencing advertising
- conversion to XML, moving existing web pages to XML
During or after reading in a page, operations on the nodes can accomplish many transformation tasks "in place", which can then be output with the toHtml() method. Depending on the purpose of your application, you will probably want to look into node decorators, visitors, or custom tags in conjunction with the PrototypicalNodeFactory.
