Volity::Seat 0.6.5

Volity::Seat 0.6.5


Volity::Seat is a Volity seat, containing some players. more>>
Volity::Seat is a Volity seat, containing some players.

SYNOPSIS

# From within a Volity::Game subclasss code:
my @seats = $self->seats;

# Or, given a Volity::Player object:
my $seat = $player->seat;

# Now tell the seat they just picked up the Three of Clubs:
$seat->call_ui_function("draw_card", "3C")

An objects of this class represents a seat at a Volity table. Volity players who are actually playing a game sit in seats, and referees address game-specific RPC calls to seats, not to individual players. See the main Volity documentation for more information about the seat concept: http://www.volity.org/wiki/index.cgi?action=browse&id=Seats

USAGE

As a game programmer, you need never create, modify, or destroy these objects yourself; that is all handled for you by the other objects that make up a Frivolity-run table, particularly the referee (see Volity::Referee). However, several methods of Volity::Game, the module you subclass to create your own Perl-based Volity game, will return objects of this class. Several crucial functions of communicating with a games players involve calling methods on these objects, including the all-important call_ui_function method (described below).

Your Volity::Game subclass must define some variables that assist the referee in seat creation, particularly the seat_ids and required_seat_ids class variables. If you wish to extend this class for your game, you can speficy a Volity::Seat subclass to use through Volity::Games seat_class method. All these are described in detail within Volity::Game.

Linux From Scratch 6.2-3

Linux From Scratch 6.2-3


Linux From Scratch are instructions to create your own custom Linux system from scratch. more>>
Linux From Scratch (LFS) is a project that provides you with the steps necessary to build your own custom Linux system.
There are a lot of reasons why somebody would want to install an LFS system. The question most people raise is "why go through all the hassle of manually installing a Linux system from scratch when you can just download an existing distribution?". That is a valid question which I hope to answer for you.
The most important reason for LFSs existence is teaching people how a Linux system works internally. Building an LFS system teaches you about all that makes Linux tick, how things work together, and depend on each other. And most importantly, how to customize it to your own taste and needs.
One of the key benefits of LFS is that you are in control over your system without having to rely on somebody elses Linux implementation. You are in the drivers seat now and are able to dictate every single thing such as the directory layout and boot script setup. You will also know exactly where, why and how programs are installed.
Another benefit of LFS is that you can create a very compact Linux system. When you install a regular distribution, you end up installing a lot of programs you probably would never use. Theyre just sitting there taking up (precious) disk space. Its not hard to get an LFS system installed under 100 MB. Does that still sound like a lot? A few of us have been working on creating a very small embedded LFS system. We installed a system that was just enough to run the Apache web server; total disk space usage was aproximately 8 MB. With further stripping, that can be brought down to 5 MB or less. Try that with a regular distribution.
If we were to compare a Linux distribution with a hamburger you buy at a supermarket or fast-food restaurant, you would end up eating it without knowing precisely what it is you are eating, whereas LFS gives you the ingredients to make a hamburger. This allows you to carefully inspect it, remove unwanted ingredients, and at the same time allow you to add ingredients to enhance the flavour of your hamburger. When you are satisfied with the ingredients, you go on to the next part of putting it together. You now have the chance to make it just the way you like it: broil it, bake it, deep-fry it, barbeque it, or eat it raw.
Another analogy that we can use is that of comparing LFS with a finished house. LFS will give you the skeleton of a house, but its up to you to install plumbing, electrical outlets, kitchen, bathtub, wallpaper, etc.
Another advantage of a custom built Linux system is added security. You will compile the entire system from source, thus allowing you to audit everything, if you wish to do so, and apply all the security patches you want or need to apply. You dont have to wait for somebody else to provide a new binary package that fixes a security hole. Besides, you have no guarantee that the new package actually fixes the problem (adequately). You never truly know whether a security hole is fixed or not unless you do it yourself.
Enhancements:
- The LFS LiveCD Team is proud to announce the release of the x86-6.2-3 version of LFS LiveCD. This version is built using LFS 6.2 and many Beyond Linux From Scratch packages from the Subversion branch. Source packages for LFS 6.2, and the LFS book itself, are included on the live CD. The CD is also suitable as a host for building x86 and x86_64 Cross LFS systems. Other features and bugfixes: the CD supports hibernation; the CD file system can be written to; the CD contains a visually pleasing and easy-to-use window manager, XFce...

jjjuste 1.0

jjjuste 1.0


jjjuste is a Java/Jack port/rewrite of JustePort. more>>
jjjuste is a Java/Jack port/rewrite of JustePort. It contains Java classes for streaming data to an Apple Airport Express. The project also contains a Jack client that allows the streaming to be integrated within a Jack audio flow.
The functionality of the basic client is more restricted than JustePort (only raw data at maximum volume), but the Jack integration gives more reliable playback on Linux and the structure of the code has been clarified (if you want to port JustePort to another language I suspect its easier to use jjjuste than JustePort, but I may be biased).
In case the above is not clear, jjjuste contains:
- a basic Java based client that can stream audio data to an Airport Express
- simple integration with Jack, which is an audio server for Linux.
This means that (almost) any audio source playing on Linux can be routed to the Airport (and so played on your hifi, remotely).
Usage:
- Get Jack running
- Download JJack from CVS (it is important you use the very latest CVS code - I committed a patch on 2007-07-10).
- Compile and install JJack (unpack, cd make, ant)
- Download Bouncy Castle and Apache Commons Codec jars
- Download the jar
- Start the client with
java -classpath jjjuste-1.0.jar:[other jars]
-Djava.library.path=[path to directory containing libjjack.so]
org.acooke.jjjuste.jack.FiniteJackClient [airport address]

Overslack 0.5

Overslack 0.5


Overslack is a slackline simulator/game. more>>
Overslack is a slackline simulator/game. A configurable model world containing a slackline, a slacker and ground is visualized and its time evolution is calculated while the user controls the slacker using the mouse. Just like with real slacklining there is no predefined goal, but it keeps track of the time you stand on the line.

The simulated world has only two dimensions. Although the forward direction offers many possibilities on a real slackline, it has very little to do with balancing and is quite uninteresting to simulate. Slow speeds are assumed, so the air resistance is neglected. The time evolution is calculated by applying Newtonian physics numerically as many times per second as the machine can handle.

The speed of the simulated world is configurable, making it run five times as slow as the real world makes it slow enough to be manageable and fast enough to keep the attention up. Unlike normal grass ground, the ground in the simulation is bouncy and doesnt cause injuries. It is (unfortunately) a bit unrealistic, but makes it more fun.

The simulated line behaves according to a quite simple model. An ideal spring between the lines point of equilibrium and the slackers feet makes a good approximation, but an ideal spring gives back all energy it stores, which would cause you to bounce forever without helping with your legs. To simulate some friction, it has a somewhat different spring constant depending on whether its extending or compressing. It is of course fully configurable, so anything from an ideal spring to an old, tired and non-elastic line are possible to simulate.

The slacker is controlled with the mouse. Move the mouse down to extend the legs, and move it up to crouch. Move the mouse to the right to lower your right arm and raise your left, and to the left to do the opposite. This is pretty much all you can do on a real slackline too, except that you can move more than just your arms, but thats just a question of terminology.

The slacker is infinitely fast and strong, if you move the mouse the slacker will move instantly to the new position regardless of the force and energy required.
It is possible to jump off the line and land on it again, with or without bouncing on the ground in between, but to make it simpler the slacker is moved to a perfectly balanced position whenever you press the right mouse button.

In addition to the line, slacker and some on-screen numerical physical information, vectors visualizing location (white), speed (green) and acceleration (red), both translational and rotational, are shown.

Unreal Tournament 2004 BONUS MEGAPACK contains many missions for Unreal Turnament 2004.

This pack is our way of saying "Thanks" for purchasing UT2004. We hope you enjoy it!

This bonus pack includes everything you need to update UT2004 to the most current version, including the latest patch, and the content from the first (Editors Choice Edition) bonus pack for UT2004. You can install this bonus pack on any version of UT2004.

The MegaPack includes the following maps:

Assault:
AS-BP2-Acatana
Intense space fighting and on-foot combat combine in this recreation of the historic Skaarj invasion of the Acatana asteroid belt.

AS-BP2-Jumpship
Be part of the elite team that infiltrated and hijacked the first warp capable Jumpship.

AS-BP2-Outback
City slickers just took over the outback’s top brewery – get over there pronto and stop the production of their tasteless Zero Beer before it takes over Oz!

AS-BP2-SubRosa
Fight your way into a Liandri research facility and steal the original plans for the Redeemer.

AS-BP2-Thrust
A recreation of the infamous destruction of the Saturn IX rocket where a team of rebel fighters launched it unguided and half fueled into hostile waters.

CTF:
CTF-BP2-Concentrate
Tall spires tower over this Capture the Flag battle set on a derelict outpost deep in the Elorean Seas.

CTF-BP2-Pistola
This twin complex of concrete and metal combines the beauty of nature with the harsh lines of industrial architecture to create a fierce battle arena.

Deathmatch:
DM-BP2-Calandras
The courtyards of Calandras were once beautiful and welcoming. While the Temple’s interiors have been preserved, a new less-inviting use has been found for the exteriors.

DM-BP2-GoopGod
For centuries the Nali monks managed to keep this sacred burial ground hidden until Liandri satellites discovered the location during a routine satellite sweep. The area was mined, and what remained was converted into a tournament arena, corpses and all.

The content from the first bonuspack, also included, is:

Onslaught:
ONS-Adara
ONS-IslandHop
ONS-Tricky
ONS-Urban

Three new vehicles:

SPMA (Self Propelled Mobile Artillery)
The SPMA is a two person vehicle, with the driver controlling a long range artillery piece. Alt-fire deploys the spotter camera. Enemies will want to shoot down the spotter camera as soon as they see it, to keep the SPMA from raining destruction from afar. An AVRiL at the spotter camera will automatically re-direct toward the SPMA if it ever becomes visible to the AVRiL.

Paladin
The Paladin is a defense focused vehicle, with a powerful energy projectile cannon and a defensive shield alt-fire. Firing the cannon while the shield is deployed will heavily damage nearby players.

Cicada
The two-man Cicada ground attack bomber is a powerful weapon against ground targets, but is easy prey for Raptors. The pilot can fire missiles, or use the alt-fire to specify a target. While holding alt-fire, multiple missiles are loaded up, and released when alt-fire is released. These missiles will all track toward the specified target location, so the alt-fire can be used to avoid enemy fire while loading up missiles. The second seat in the Cicada is an energy beam turret located on the belly of the Cicada. Its alt-fire is chaff that can be used to confuse incoming AVRiLs.

Six new characters:

Mekkor (Skaarj)
Mekkor is from the Black Fist Clan, sworn enemies of the Iron Skull Clan. Severely injured in battle, he is testing his new cybernetic armor in the Tournament.

Skrilax (Skaarj)
Skrilax is from the Black Fist Clan, sworn enemies of the Iron Skull Clan. Alongside his brother Mekkor, he was severely injured while fighting the Iron Skull Clan."

Barktooth (Iron Guard)
Barktooth would rather rip an opponent to shreds with his bare hands than fight from afar. He also finds close range Flak shots very satisfying."

Karag (Iron Guard)
Before joining the Iron Guard, Karag honed his weapon handling skills during a long stint as a Marshall for the Terran Colonial Authority. His style and panache already have the the Tournament audience abuzz."

Kragoth (Necris)
After an absence of several years, the Necris are preparing a return to the Tournament. Known as the Star Slayer, Kragoth is a dread Necris Phayder assassin. He is rumored to have single handedly killed the entire crew of an ICV Star Cruiser."

Thannis (Necris)
After an absence of several years, the Necris are preparing a return to the Tournament. Thannis is participating to scout the competition."

Crimson Fields project is a tactical war game in the tradition of Battle Isle.

The outcome of the war lies in your hands. You decide which units are sent to the front lines, and when to unleash the reserves. Your mission objectives range from defending strategically vital locations to simply destroying all enemy forces in the area. Protect supply convoys or raid enemy facilities to uncover technological secrets or fill your storage bays so you can repair damaged units or build new ones in your own factories. Lead your troops to victory!

Tools are available to create custom maps and campaigns. You can also play the original Battle Isle maps if you have a copy of the game.

You can pit yourself against another human player either in hot-seat mode in front of the same machine or via e-mail, or against the computer.

Crimson Fields is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). It has been developed and tested on Intel architecture with Linux, but it shouldnt be too hard to make it compile and run on other operating systems as well. So far it has been reported to work with Linux, various flavours of BSD, Sun Solaris, MacOS X, BeOS, and MS Windows.

Userlinux Live CD 0.2

Userlinux Live CD 0.2


The UserLinux Project is developing an effective, streamlined, freely available Linux distribution for businesses of all sizes. more>>
The UserLinux Project is developing an effective, streamlined, freely available Linux distribution for businesses of all sizes. The project is not-for-profit with associated services available from a network of commercial service providers.

UserLinux organization will be a not-for-profit organization. The UserLinux product is a GNU/Linux distribution based from Debian GNU/Linux, but streamlined to a smaller set of default applications.

UserLinux will be freely available in both source and ISO formats. UserLinux will be complemented by a worldwide network of (generally for-profit) service providers offering certification, support, and professional services.

UserLinux will offer businesses unrivaled value by providing a strong base of intelligently selected software accompanied by vendor neutral support and certification options.

Security, training, and worker portability issues are greatly reduced through the selection of the prime application for a specific need. There are no licensing fees for software or development tools. Support services are available from a variety of professional service providers, but are never mandatory.

The UserLinux product is a Linux Operating System distribution streamlined to a smaller set of default applications for business use. The UserLinux variants, currently in beta testing, are freely available in both source and CD installation image formats.

UserLinux has four primary configurations:

Enterprise Server:A solid production server featuring Apache, Samba, and Postfix. Great as a web or file server.
Enterprise Desktop:GNOME desktop featuring OpenOffice.
GUI Server:Features a thin Graphical User Interface environment for more convenient local administration. Same core functionality as Enterprise Server.
SOHO Desktop (Small Office/Home Office):A desktop and server in one. A wider range of capabilities to meet the needs of small businesses.

UserLinux will be driven by the not-for-profit UserLinux Organization and backed by a network of for-profit professional service providers. The distribution will be accompanined by available certifications for people, software, and hardware.

Key UserLinux Advantages:

Streamlined:UserLinux is a streamlined distribution with one key application in mind for a given piece of functionality. One web browser, one word processor, one mail client, one web server. This reduces support overhead both for users and for maintaining security.
Standards compliant:UserLinux encourages cooperation with other open source organizations, and values compliance with open standards.
Designed for business:The UserLinux distribution is specially tailored towards the needs of business.
Professional Services:The third party network of UserLinux affiliated commercial Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) allow for choice in professional services and custom application design options. The separation between the UserLinux organization and the ISVs is a win-win proposition allowing both the support advantages of a service provider network and the neutrality advantages of an operating system not tied to a single company.
Flexible:While each UserLinux configuration is designed to support common functionality as shipped, the systems are also open for expansion beyond the standard UserLinux set.
Disclosure:As a not-for-profit organization working with software developed in the open, the UserLinux organization as well as the development process for the UserLinux distribution are in the open. Critical system updates are clearly and promptly announced so systems remain properly secured.
Lack of lock-in:There are no licensing fees for the UserLinux distribution or related development tools. Service is available from your choice of service providers, but is never mandatory.
Free to obtain:ISO images and the source code are freely available.
Inexpensive to maintain:The streamlined nature of the UserLinux distribution assures less software to update. There are no per seat charges or OS licenses to be tracked and audited.
Secure:Leveraging from the power of open source, the code used in the UserLinux distribution not only has thousands of hours of development but thousands of hours of peer review.
Certifications:Hardware, software, support and professional certifications will be available. The standards and corresponding tests will be created by UserLinux with third parties performing the testing activities.
Mature Software:UserLinux is directly based from Debian GNU/Linux, a general focus, free Linux distribution in existence for over a decade. Key components of UserLinux, including the highly popular Linux Kernel and Apache web server, are very mature with millions of critical-use installations.
