LinCity-NG is a City Simulation Game. LinCity-NG is a polished and improved version of the classic LinCity game.

Within the scope of the GoTM project at happypenguin.org we have created a new iso-3d graphics engine together with a completely redone and modern gui.

LibTMCG is a general purpose C++ library for creating secure electronic card games. The most remarkable feature is the absence of a trusted third party (TTP), i.e. neither a central game server nor trusted hardware components are necessary.
To emphasize this point again: With the present library there is no need for an independent referee, because the applied protocols provide a basic level of confidentiality and fairness by itself. Consequently, the library is well-suited for peer-to-peer (P2P) environments where no TTP is available.
Of course, we cannot avoid that malicious players share information about their private cards, but the protocols ensure that the shuffle of the deck is performed randomly (presumed that at least one player is honest) and thus the cards will be distributed uniformly among the players.
Further, no coalition can learn the private cards of a player against his will (except for trivial conclusions). The corresponding cryptographic problem, actually called Mental Poker, has been studied since 1979 (Shamir, Rivest, and Adleman) by many authors (see the first section of [St05] for a short survey). LibTMCG provides the first practical implementation of such protocols.
The implementation relies on advanced cryptographic techniques---the so-called zero-knowledge proofs. Using these building blocks the high-level protocols minimize the effect of coalitions and preserve the confidentiality of the players strategy, i.e. the players are not required to reveal their cards at the end of the game to show that they did not cheat.
Enhancements:
- A major security bug was fixed.
- This bug allows an adversary to choose trivial group generators.
- This flaw has a crucial impact on the confidentiality of private cards.
- Thus, all users are strongly recommended to update LibTMCG as soon as possible.

CTShaper is a shell-script that helps setting up a traffic shaper, using Linuxs built-in network QoS (Quality of Service) infrastructure.

Have you ever noticed how your SSH/gaming sessions become sluggish when you start downloading something, or how your downloads slow down when you start uploading?

Have you ever been annoyed by other peoples downloads forcing you to wait ages while an email is being sent? Or making your web navigation painfully slow?

Well, if your outgoing link is managed by a Linux router/gateway, then you could benefit from using CTShaper.

CTShaper reduces link latency by preventing packet queues from getting too long on your side (your ADSL or Cable modem) and on your ISPs side (their routers). Long packet queues is what makes your uploads interfere with your downloads, and your downloads interfere with your SSH or gaming sessions.

Additionally, CTShaper sets up four traffic queues with different priorities and configurable flow rates (to have minimum bandwidth guarantees for each class). By default, only traffic with ToS (Type of Service) information gets prioritized (which could be enough, if lots of software had support for it, which they dont), but you can use your firewall (iptables, or an iptables frontend like FireHOL) to "mark" traffic.

The traffic shaper will then prioritize (outgoing) traffic based on those "marks". You can, for instance, give priority to SMTP and HTTP traffic. This will only affect outgoing HTTP and SMTP traffic, but thats enough to make your emails go out faster, and your web navigation more responsive.

ColdSpot is an X screen locker.
When the mouse is left inside the transparent ColdSpot window, a user-specified program is kicked off to lock the screen.
It is probably simplest to use with focus follows mouse or sloppy focus, although it should still work with click-to-focus.
Enhancements:
- Fixed the expose problem. Now works even better under IceWM (and other WMs that do a more aggressive unmapping of windows).

libTagEdit is a simple C++ and Python class library for music tag editing.

tipxd is an IPX tunneling daemon which snoops on a local network for IPX 802.3 traffic, packages it and sends it over one or many TCP/IP connections to tipxd running on remote machines where it is unpacked and sent via the local network. This, in effect, makes the IPX networks appear as if all IPX peers were on the same physical hub. This program makes easier the playing of games where TCP/IP connections are not possible(for example where the two IPX machines are both behind firewalls), and the join Novell Netware Networks, share Windows Drives, etc.

By default, tipxd looks for the configuration file /etc/tipxd.conf, unless this is overidden with the -f option. This file is a very simple record format. Each record has a texttt{BEGIN} and texttt{END} statement, and tags which can occur between them to assign values for that record.
