Gnome/Mono application to copy mp3 files to mp3 player

Stereo is a GTK/mono application for copying MP3 files (either from a 3mu type playlist or database search onto an MP3 player than can be seen by Linux as a USB hard drive.

This is the initial alpha release - 0.0.1.

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.

Car Dealer Website allows you to get your car dealership inventory on the Web. Car Dealer Website projects easy-to-use system features full searching capability by make/model, price range, and year range.

Each listing has a contact form where buyers can easily make contact from your site on a particular vehicle.

You can upload as many images as needed per listing and setup as many makes and models as needed for your dealership. It is fully template driven, and is easy to customize.

Installation:

-copy all files to your web host
-use phpmyadmin or your mysql interface to run site.sql against your database.
-chmod 777 upload/ and upload/tmp/
-open site.xml and edit the database section with your database details.
-go to admin/ and login with username of admin with a password of test.
-be sure to change the passwords for the admin and regular user.

Setup the site.xml file with your database settings as follows.

< database type="mysql" >
< server >database server address< /server >
< login >database login< /login >
< password >database password< /password >
< default >mysql database name< /default >
< /database >

Add this to your htaccess file to prevent viewing of the xml config file.

Whats New in This Release:

· Some of the lines of code within the library files were fixed up to improve the speed of the system.

Car PC Development Kit is a kit for making a Linux distribution for a car PC.

Unlike most distributions which come prepackaged and ready to load, this distribution requires downloading, compiling, and post-setup before you can load it into a system.

The end result will be a modular platform for quickly putting together a small Linux system to copy onto boot media and start using.

The target platform is a mini-computer to be installed in an automobile and used either headless or with a monitor and some input device like a keyboard or remote control.

Whats New in This Release:

· Fixes LIRC support for both CAUI and MPlayer.
· Updates the CAUI version, and updates the LIRC package to configure more buttons by default.

Toy Cars is a physics-based 2D racing game for Linux. The graphics and the interface use SDL and OpenGL.

Toy Cars is partly inspired by Micromachines and partly by the old Atari ST game called Jupiters Masterdrive.

Do you have many MP3 files? Do you spend more time organizing them then listening to them? Do you store them on CDs? Do you have a car stereo MP3 player?

If so, MusicMan will help you organize your MP3, Ogg, from the most obvious place: Konqueror file manager.

Here are some key features of "Musicman":

· Standarize the filenames of your music files.
· Guess info and set ID3 tags from the files name. Can be done to several files in one shot.
· Rename many selected files based on their ID3 tags.
· Set ID3 tags in mass for the selected files, with options from copying ID3s from other files, and leaving some ID3 fields untouched.
· Rename _ to space and vice-versa.
· Create HTML and Text indexes of your collections, including total playing time etc. 100% cofigurable thru templates.
· Create nice CD cover with nice full listing of your music files. 100% configurable thru templates.
· Organize your music collection to create a CD.
· See the change log for details.

Linux distribution race is a cool car race for 4 players, cars are named by Linux distributions (Mandrake, SUSE, RedHat, Debian).

You can create maps in GIMP. Controls: WSAD, TGFH, IKJL, arrows.

PHATDB project is a tool to generate database and signature files for mCD (enhanced cd) / Kenwood ACDrive Car Stereo Head Units.

Building

You need libid3tag and openssl (libcrypto) to build phatdb.

./configure
make
make install

Usage

ACDrive USB headunits understand FAT formatted disk only, furthermore, the database must contain short (8.3) filenames. For phatdb to generate the database correctly, USB drives MUST be mounted as msdos (NOT vfat) so that the short filenames are shown.

NOTE: Since version 0.0.2, this is no longer necessary. Linux has an ioctl which allows retrieval of short filenames from mounted vfat volumes.

For a disk to be recognised by an ACDrive head-unit, it must contain an mcd directory in its root. This directory must contain the files:

pkeys2.e
pkeys2.sig

These files are NOT distributed with phatdb, they can be found in the phatnoise distribution or on the sample mCD CD which came with your head-unit.

To generate a database with all the music on a USB hard-drive mounted at /media/usbdisk:

phatdb -g /media/usbdisk

This will create the files:

/media/usbdisk/mcd/mcd.db
/media/usbdisk/mcd/mcd.sig

The disk should now play as enhanced media in your head-unit.

Limitations:

· Browsing and Index searching should work correctly, however phatdb does not currently generate voice-prompt files. It is recommended that you disable this feature when using phatdb. A future version may support voice prompting.

Trophy project is an action car racing game.

Trophy is an action car racing game for Linux. Its 2D (top-view) but aims to provide high quality graphics.

You can shoot, drop bombs, and drive against the other players.

Wrong Way is car racing game for one or two players.

You can choose one of six cars in three different tracks. Wrong Way was written with Pygame.

The two players play on split screen. There are multiple cars and tracks ready for use.

Space Racer project is a OpenGL Car Game in a galactic environment.

It aims to be a clone of the well known Stunt Car Racer developed by Geff Crammond, author of Grand Prix I and II.

To play a 3dfx is recommanded. But TNT and Matrox Cards should now work.

If you have a 3dfx, you can take advantage of OpenGL 1.1 in adding this line in config.h:

#define SP_OPENGL_1_1

MPy3 is a full-featured, modular, configurable MP3 player system aimed at jukeboxes or car MP3 systems. It can play MP3s via rxaudio or mpg123, take input from a keyboard (tty), LIRC, or joystick or another serial or parallel input device.

Gran Prix is a simple 2D car race game.

Gran Prix is a game writen in Python, for 2 to 4 players, with three different tracks. You can run on these tracks with four different formula 1 style cars, you can customize the max speed of the cars and the number of laps to win the race.

The game isnt very cool, but a list of new features are planed.

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.

Here are some key features of "Racer":

· 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!
