Free bitlife 0.9.5 software for linux

Its a simple idea: implement Conways Game of Life using boolean logic operations (and, or, not, xor); do so by blits, thus running a Life game in every bitplane in parallel.

Currently 2 implementations are available: a proof-of-concept (with a life-covered 3d cube!) one in Python (with Numeric/pygame) and a useful one in C (X-Windows screensaver, potentially accelerated).

Cynthiune is a free software and romantic music player for GNUstep and Mac OS X. Cynthiune can play Ogg and MP3 files.

For the moment, it looks pretty much like XMMS, Winamp and similar software. Even though it has far less features than those, the essential components of a usable and user-friendly program are there in my opinion.

From a programmatic point-of-view, I have decided to write a program that is released only when considered bug-free. The free software community lacks, IMnsHO, a sense of quality that makes its programs nearly useless to lambda users. Not only is it useless, but I think it also gives free software a bad reputation. The principle of freedom in "free software" is fundamental to me, but it has to be reachable not only by some sort of geeky elite. There is no point in telling users that since they have the freedom to enhance those programs, they must fix them if they want to use them. Releasing a program with too many bugs is of no use and is likely not to interest other fellow programmers in the community either.

On the other hand, Apple has published an interesting program called "iTunes". Of course, it is not free software but it does implement interesting ideas that I would like to include in Cynthiune. For example: CD burning, complete playlist management, etc... Personally I find its user interface to be not as user-friendly as it could be. My plan is thus to take advantage of my own programming skills and sense of aesthetics (and ergonomy) to try to write something a little bit different, inspired both by XMMS/Winamp and iTunes. Cynthiune is thus currently very basic but its core design is starting to be extensible enough that it will not be too much trouble to enhance it.

Installation:

If all your library requirements are fulfilled (see below). Just type "make && make install". If you want to run Cynthiune from the source directory, you would have to type "make local-build=yes". This way, the linker will be forced against to link Cynthiune.app against the copy of the Cynthiune framework that was built under the source directory. Whenever you are missing a library or if a specific file-format does not interest you, you can disable the build of its bundle by typing "make disable-[bundle]=yes" (where [bundle] is the name of the bundle you wish to avoid). For the available values, have a look at the GNUmakefile of the top source directory.

LibKMid is a library that implements features to play MIDI events on MIDI devices. LibKMid also includes easy-to-use functions if all you want is play MIDI files in your application (for example, background music in a game), and a console MIDI player. The API is well documented, and the design is very simple for the most common uses.

LibKMid uses the OSS drivers to support External MIDI synthesizers, AWE, GUS and FM synths, along with soundcards from the SB Live family.

You can add easily support for any other MIDI device you may find (but Im afraid there isnt any left), MIDI Mappers (in the same format as MIDI mappers from KMid), and a MIDI file player engine that is able to play MIDI files even if theyre really corrupted or broken.

Perhaps the main thing about LibKMid is that its optimized to take up as little resources as possible, so playing a complex MIDI on my computer (a K6/200) takes approximately 0.1% of the CPU.

PXSL project provides a convenient shorthand for writing markup-heavy XML documents.
PXSL ("pixel") is a convenient shorthand for writing markup-heavy XML documents. It provides XML authors and programmers with a simple, concise syntax that they can use to create XML documents.
For more advanced users, it offers customizable shortcuts and sophisticated refactoring tools like functional macros that can markedly reduce the size and complexity of markup-dense XML documents.
Enhancements:
- UTF-8 is now the default input/output encoding

QTorrent is a BitTorrent client that uses the Qt widget-set. QTorrent allows you to have several torrents open at the same time from within the same program window, offering you easy overview, access and management through a list-mode.

Every torrent also has its own page where you can control things like upload speed and upload slots. A page that shows some statistics of all open torrents is also available.

To use QTorrent, just download the tarball, extract it somewhere and run the qtorrent binary. Installing QTorrent is not necessary.

Swiginac project is a Python interface to GiNaC, built with SWIG. The aim of swiginac is to make all the functionality of GiNaC accessible from Python as an extension module.
Current status is beta; a lot (but not all yet) of the GiNaC classes are exposed, virtually all of the GiNaC tests pass.
For more information, documentation and software downloads, visit our group pages on BerliOS.
Examples:
Just a few illustrations from the Python interpreter:
>>> x=symbol("x")
>>> sin(x).series(x==0, 8)
1*x+(-1/6)*x**3+1/120*x**5+(-1/5040)*x**7+Order(x**8)
or
>>> y = symbol(y)
>>> lsolve([3*x + 5*y == 2, 5*x+y == -3], [x,y])
[x==-17/22, y==19/22]
Enhancements:
- Exceptions are now caught to prevent user errors from terminating Python sessions.
- Also, matrices are automatically evaluated, and the swiginac tutorial is included.

Jake2 is a Java 3D game engine. Jake2 is a port of the GPLd Quake2 game engine from id Software. To use the Jake2 engine you need either the data files from the original game or from the demo version that is available for download from ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com.
Jake2 uses jogl for OpenGL graphics and joal for 3D sound. Since version 0.9.4 an a lwjgl driver is included as alternative for the jogl/joal combination. Currently supported operating systems are Linux and Windows2000/XP but it should work on Mac OS X as well.
Main features:
- pure Java port of the Quake2 game engine
- full playable singleplayer mode
- full featured multiplayer client
- multiplayer server
- demo playback and recording
- save/load games
- fullscreen support
- two different OpenGL bindings (jogl and lwjgl)
- OpenAL sound engine for true 3D sound
