Free collector cars software for linux

libGarbageCollector is an incremental garbage collector with a tri-color, Baker treadmill, write-barrier implementation.

libGarbageCollector is built from the garbage collector code used in the Io programming language project.

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.

stic bundles a few Linux tools which are intended to support the task of collecting an unreasonable amount of pictures (preferrably in JPEG format).
similar
a program for detecting duplicate or very similar images. It maintains a
database of characteristic color samples which it compares with submitted
pictures. similar depends on libjpeg and ImageMagick s convert (on a
modern Linux desktop system these components should already be present).
Storage medium may be a usual filesystem or a MySQL database. There
also is a MySQL UDF extension to compare image samples within SQL queries.
similar contains the communications module described at sagent.
simv
a core program to perform file management tasks on an image collection.
Its main purpose is to coordinate file movements with the content of
similars database. This applies to importing new files which get tested
against the existent collection, as well as to inform similar about moving
and deleting files within the collection.
simv depends on an external image viewer like ImageMagick s display
(should already be present on a modern Linux desktop system) or John
Bradleys xv (quite a fast one).
simv contains the communications module described at sagent.
sagent
a standalone version of the communications module used in simv and
similar. This software receives input from its start terminal and multiple
clients, distributes several types of output back to them, and is also
able to act itself as such a client.
Since communications mainly use TCP/IP there is an encryption layer
(Blowfish with 128 bit keys) which provides user authentication. Any
single activity of such a user may be particularly permitted or denied.
Secure connections should be possible that way as long as one can defend
the keyfiles and programs on client and server host against foreign
access.
Front-end connection software is available in C, Tcl/Tk and PHP3 to build
custom clients. In the most primitive case even telnet can act as a
client.
The standalone program sagent may be used as communications node in a tree
of clients. Another purpose is to be a shell frontend which sends commands
to a server and receives its replies.
snntpbatch
a command line based NNTP (newsgroups) client. It is mainly intended for
automatic download of images by use of a filter language. Nevertheless it
also downloads the message texts and converts them to HTML code which
includes the downloaded images. Also, it is capable of automatically
posting sets of images to the newsgroups.
The tools are designed to be very independent of the system flavor. On an
average Linux desktop there should be no need to update existing system
components. Actually one could use stic without having display equipment for
graphics.
Any program activity which is possible in dialog may also be performed in
batch runs. Therefore the tools are quite suitable for users who like to get
boring tasks automated and manual tasks simplified.
All tools code is open source and distributed under BSD license.

Enhancements:
- The new encrypted protocol version 0.2 is standard now : SHA-1 seal, 256 bit keys, variable chaining initialization vector.
- The protocol of a connection is chosen by the client and may or may not be accepted by the server.
- See sagent command -security options clientprotocol , serverprotocol.

Open Media Collectors Database project (OpenDb) is a PHP and MySQL based inventory application that allows you to easily catalog and lend media-related items, including DVD, VCD, CD, VHS, games, books, and laser discs.
There are also quite a few Contributed item types available, and if thats not enough you can define your own.
OpenDb is GPL licenced and built on PHP and MySQL. Anything that you can collect and lend, you can catalog with this system. OpenDb allows you to add new types, by describing them in system database tables designed for the purpose.
It includes workflow mechanism for lending, possibility to use different themes and/or creating themes, retrieving data from Amazon, imdb & others, plugins, language packs, etc.
Main features:
- Catalogue all sorts of things including DVD, (S)VCD, DivX, CD, VHS, Games, Books and Laser Discs
- Lending workflow
- Flexible add of new types
- Themes
- Supports metadata from Amazon, imdb, etc.
- Plugins
- Language Packs

TORCS is a 3D racing cars simulator using OpenGL.

The goal is to have programmed robots drivers racing against each others.
You can also drive yourself with either a wheel or keyboard or mouse.
TORCS is available on Linux and Windows.

This concept is directly inspired from RARS

There are 42 different cars, 30 tracks and more than 50 opponents to race against. You can steer with a joystick or steering wheel, if its supported by your platform. It is also possible to drive with the mouse or the keyboard, but its not easy.

Graphic features lighting, smoke, skidmarks and glowing brake disks. The simulation features a simple damage model, collisions, tire and wheel properties (springs, dampers, stiffness, ...), aerodynamics (ground effect, spoilers, ...) and much more.

The gameplay allows different types of races from the simple practice session up to the championship. Enjoy racing against your friends in the split screen mode with up to four human players.

Installation:

1. Download the source package torcs-1.2.3.tar.bz2.
2. Unpack the package with "tar xfvj torcs-1.2.3.tar.bz2".
3. Run the following commands:

$ cd torcs-1.2.3
$ ./configure # --prefix="target dir", --enable-debug or --disable-xrandr might be of interest
$ make
$ make install
$ make datainstall

Youll need those dependencies

Default installation directories:

* /usr/local/bin - TORCS command (directory should be in your PATH)
* /usr/local/lib/torcs - TORCS dynamic libs (directory MUST be in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH if you dont use the torcs shell)
* /usr/local/share/games/torcs - TORCS data files


4. Run the "torcs" command (default location is /usr/local/bin/torcs), you can use those command line options.
All the configuration data, race results and players options will be saved below the $HOME/.torcs directory.

System Configuration Collector Server generates summaries of scc-data sent by clients. System Configuration Collector Server offers a Web interface that supports searching the snapshots and the logbooks of the systems. It also supports comparing (parts of) the snapshots of systems.
Enhancements:
- This release uses CSS directives to indicate different colors when comparing data from systems.
- It handles the case of an empty log.html when sort is implemented by busybox.
- stdout and stderr are recorded from client runs in the log file when started by scc-pull.
- A puppylinux package has been added.
- style.css has been updated to show variable data in scc snapshots.

Gillo project is a two-player game where cars try to put a magnetic ball into a goal.

The players are cars moving inside a 3D smooth-box shaped playground trying to catch a ball and throw it through a goal. The goal is in the center of the field. The goalkeeper tries to catch the ball before it reaches the goal. In order to catch and fire the ball, players have an directed magnet with an invertible charge.

To make things tricky, powerups are spread randomly throughout the playground to allow gravity rotation, ball inflation, and other funny effects.
