Free car bill of sale software for linux

CarWorld is a small driving simulator/demo I use to test various things of interest. It was mostly developed when I was a student. Car World is released with the full source code under the GNU General Public License.

The rendering

The two top pictures represent an slightly older version (v0.072) but graphically similar of CarWorld as it was presented for my project. v0.072 includes an OpenGL based renderer allowing
file input and displaying of texture mapped models with interpolated surface normals, real time projected shadows (as seen in the dino lights example).

on screen command line to modify visual and simulation parameters

The mechanics

based on classical mechanics
uses standard metrics (Newtons, meters, seconds...)
there are no constraints on the environment surface
variable length time increments and variable increment number means "CarWorld time" is not dependent on frame rate.
adjustable simulation specs include: metrics, mass, moment of inertia around rotation axis, suspension pre load, compression damping, rebound damping, engine torque output, air friction, surface friction.

StepBill project is a clone of XBill for GNUstep.
Yet again, the fate of the world rests in your hands! An evil computer hacker, known only by his handle Bill, has created the ultimate computer virus.
A virus so powerful that it has the power to transmute an ordinary computer into a toaster oven. (oooh!) Bill has cloned himself into a billion-jillion micro-Bills.
Their sole purpose is to deliver the nefarious virus, which has been cleverly disguised as a popular operating system.
As System Administrator/Exterminator, your job is to keep Bill from succeeding at his task.
Enhancements:
- Added Bulgarian from Yavor Doganov

NoFuss Sales Tracker is a quote generation and tracking system designed for the general IT retailer.

NoFuss Sales Tracker project can create quotes from an internal price list using drop-down menus and pre-setup machine recipes.

The end product will keep information regarding clients in a database, be able to generate quotes on the fly, generate invoices from quotes, etc.

NoFuss Solutions provides expert IT services to the local community using experience in a variety of computer systems. We support both hardware and software and strive to provide a one-stop service to our customers. Our main target is the home user or small business owner that can not afford dedicated IT personnel but needs the services of a dedicated IT support office.

Apart from the general IT support services (repairs and maintenance) we also offer custom software development utilising the JAVA programming language. NoFuss Invoicing is a free invoicing solution for small businesses and we are currently working on a free point-of-sale application for the same market.

NoFuss Solutions came into existence during 1996 as Horn Labs and along with a shift in focus the beginning of 2005 the name changed to symbolise the new vision and direction of the business. The main aim of NoFuss Solutions shifted from providing services to corporate companies to providing the same services to smaller businesses, especially start-up companies. After restructuring the cost-structure we managed to focus on this relative low-income market and build a stable business on a very unstable market.

At the head of NoFuss Solutions is Ewald Horn, sole proprietor since 1996. Instead of trying to do everything in-house we have identified areas where we can out-source certain functions in order to provide a higher level of service to our customers. This enables us to focus on our strengths while still providing an all-round service to our customers.

Tamil Converters is a package containing five programs that convert Tamil text from ISCII to Unicode, Unicode to ISCII, ITRANS to ISCII, ITRANS to ISCII, and TSCII to Unicode.
All five programs provide fairly extensive checking of their input for errors and untranslatable codes. The ITRANS used is, by default, extended to include codes for the Tamil digits and to include HZ escapes (as defined in RFC 1843) that delimit the Tamil portion.
This allows processing of mixed Tamil and ASCII text. The extensions and use of HZ escapes can be disabled by command-line switches.
Enhancements:
- Several programs inadvertently omitted from the previous version of the package are now included.
- Several errors in the Makefile have been fixed.

Davids Perl Games project is a collection of ASCII graphics arcade style games written in Perl.

These games are recreations of simple ASCII graphics games originally written in BASIC.

They are ideal for use as Perl programming tutorials. Some of the first few games are PerlBlaster (defend your planet from invading aliens), PerlRacer (steer your car through the twisting passages), and PerlArena (eliminate the mutant hordes).

Racer is a free car simulation project, using real car physics to get a realistic feeling. Cars, tracks, scenes and such can be created with relative simplicity in mind (compared to other driving simulations).
The 3D and other file formats are, or should be, documented. Editors and support programs are also available to get a very flexible and expandable simulator. It uses OpenGL for rendering.
It attempts to do well at the physics section, trying to create life-like cars to emphasize car control and doesnt cut back on realism in the interest of fun. If youve played Grand Prix Legends from Papyrus, youll know what Im talking about.
Racer major features:
- Its totally free! (for non-commercial use)
- Available for multiple platforms; Windows 2000/XP (95/98/ME may work but have some trouble with fonts), Linux and Mac OS X.
- 6 DOF models used (the car can move around freely)
- Uses motion formulae from actual engineering documents from SAE for example.
- Total flexibility; almost everything is customizable through ASCII files.
- Commercial-quality rendering engine (with smoke, skidmarks, sparks, sun, flares, vertex-color lit tracks).
- Support for Matrox Surround Gaming. See the corresponding page on Matrox site.
- Lots of addon cars and tracks available on the web.
- Easy integration of your own cars and tracks that you create in ZModeler, 3D Studio Max(tm), Maya etc.
- At least 15 degrees of freedom for a regular car (6 DOF for the car body, 1 for each wheels vertical motion and 1 for each wheel spinning, and 1 for the engine, several more for the driveline). Depending actually on how many wheels you put on the car.
- Real-time internal clock; no physical dependency on framerate. Controller updates are also done independently of the framerate.
- Not limited to 4 wheels; anything from 2 to 8 wheel vehicles are currently supported (but mostly untested, and some problems with hardcoded differentials for example may exist (v0.5.0)).
- Not much constraints on the track data; surface info is taken from polygon data (VRML tracks), and splines are used to smooth out the track surface (polygons are too harsh for driving on just like that).
- Tools to modify the cars & tracks are freely available on this site (though external utilities are recommended for best results).
- Some used algorithms are explained on this site. Also, references are available. If you are programming a carsim, you might find something useful here.
- Save game present!
