Free exploration software for linux

Stanford Exploration Project Library (or SEP, for short) is an industry-funded academic consortium whose purpose is to improve the theory and practice of constructing 3-D and 4-D images of the earth from seismic echo soundings.
Although most of our research is targeted at improvements in the geophysical survey contracting industry, about half of our sponsors and alumni are in the petroleum industry because we focus on overcoming technological limitations of the geophysical survey industry.
SEP pioneered innovations in migration imaging, velocity estimation, dip moveout and slant stack. Today our focus is on 3-D seismic applications such as velocity estimation, wavefield-continuation prestack migration, multidimensional image estimation, and 4-D (time-lapse) reservoir monitoring.
Besides 3-D reflection seismic data, we undertake small 2-D imaging projects with geophysical data of all kinds. The diversity of applications exercises our judgment and skill at combining fundamentals of statistical signal theory, optimization theory, numerical analysis, and wave propagation theory, and this has led us to numerous improvements and some breakthroughs.
We organize our research to facilitate technology transfer by using a formal method of makefile rules. With these, most of our research results are verified by someone other than the original researcher. Research progress reports at least four years old and all PhD theses are made available to the public through our web site.
Enhancements:
- Numerous major new features and major bugfixes.

TagReport is a nifty little project Ive been working on which is mostly a giant C++ exploration exercise. The program is very simple at this stage; the indexer part is really an HTML output function right now, that mimics the "Winamp Generated Playlist" format commonly seen on the Internet.
Currently it supports 4 libraries with which it can process audio files; libFLAC for FLAC files, libvorbisfile for Ogg Vorbis audio, libid3tag for MP3 audio, and TagLib, an all-in-one library that supports both Ogg Vorbis and MP3 reading.
Enhancements:
- Many many many new things, hence the version leap
- FLAC support: started with forking metaflac, now uses libFLAC
- Support for using libvorbisfile and libid3tag to process MP3s when TagLib is not available
- Piles of code cleanups
- Fix a giant configure bug involving when we search for where the preprocessor is
- Add a man page in SGML. Should not have to be built by normal users, though.
- Move all tag/comment-retrieving code to ftfuncs.{cc,h}
- Move all HTML-related code to html.cc

GeoVISTA Studio is an open software development environment designed for geospatial data. GeoVistaStudio is a programming-free environment that allows users to quickly build applications for geocomputation and geographic visualization.

1. Visual Programming-Free Environment for rapid development.
2. Component-Oriented Programming: uses JavaBeans as programming components. Any JavaBeans (developed by 3rd parties) can be plugged in!
3. Recursive Development turns a developed application into a JavaBean component. Developed components (applications) are reusable (scalable), and developed components can be shared by other Studio users and/or java programmers.

Excalibur: Morganas Revenge (EMR) is a unique scenario based upon the Aleph One (Marathon) engine. It is a first-person action adventure game, featuring an epic and in-depth story line. As a Federation Marine resting after your last mission, you start aboard the exploration class Starship Kronos where you learn that your real mission has yet to begin. You are re-acquainted with the AI Merlin, who introduces you to Kronos time traveling technology, and reveals your new mission: to save mankind from the clutches of Morgana and her minions. Through untamed raptor-infested jungles, castle arenas, and war-torn streets of the future, you will wield weapons from all time periods - including the Sword of Power, Excalibur - in an effort to thwart the diabolical plot that unfolds. The EMR adventure, spread across 42 solo levels, weaves a tale of truth and honor, knighthood and bravery, and darkness and treachery. EMR also delivers 27 adrenaline pumped network levels. EMR immerses you in an amazing new world, creating an addictive, fun and unique gaming experience.

For those that played EMR under the old Marathon Infinity engine, EMR 3.0 brings exciting new maps, new high resolution textures and landscapes, a completely new set of weapons, new monsters and friends, new scenery, new 16-bit sounds, original music, and a carefully woven original story line that transcends time. Using the Aleph One engine, EMR now sports loads of new special features using Aleph Ones MML and Lua scripting languages. Please note that the AlephOne engine is old technology improved. Architecture is still simulated 3D, so there are no ramps, bridges, and balconies, nor horizontal doors. The sprites in EMR are made up of 2D images posed in different views, not 3D models. Do not expect the latest state-of-the-art graphics engine, but you can expect an intriguing storyline, creative map architectures, engaging graphics, original spellbinding music, and mood-setting sound effects.

Free Conquest & Colonization of America project is a remake of the old Microprose game Colonization.
Free Conquest and Colonization of America is a remake of a fantastic old game from Microprose called Colonization. Those who have played Civilization will find the game style very similar.
In Civilization, the game time goes from pre-history to the future, but in Free Conquest and Colonization of America, all action happens during the exploration age, from 1492 to 1800. The goal of the game is to build a colony in America and make this colony grow big enough to be able to achieve independence from the motherland.
A player can choose among the English, French, Dutch, and Spanish nations, each having its own qualities and problems. During colonization, the player will face many challenges, such as negotiating (and making war, if necessary) with other European colonies and native tribes.
Winning the hearts of the colonists (by making they feel that the colony is their home) is the key to getting enough support to fight for independence. Allowing religious freedom in your colony will attract more colonists persecuted for their faith in Europe.
KEYSTROKES:
Numpad arrows -> movement
SPACE -> new round
W -> change the focus
C -> choose unit (when theres more than one unit in the same square)
E -> see Europe status
F -> fortify
S -> sentry
Q -> quits the game
Enhancements:
- beach shores
- hidden tiles
- the screen now centers on the unit
- indians

Cell Electrophysiology Simulation Environment (CESE) is a comprehensive framework specifically designed to perform computational electrophysiological simulations, for example, simulations of cardiac myocyte electrical activity.
Cell Electrophysiology Simulation Environment is useful for simulations of action potentials, individual ionic currents, and changes in ionic concentrations.
CESE is a cross-platform program, it runs on any system that has Java runtime environment (JRE) version 1.4 or above. It was tested on Windows, Linux, Solaris, MacOS X, and AIX.
CESE users
CESE is an integrated environment for performing computational simulations using a variety of electrophysiological models.
At this stage CESE allows creation and execution of the single-cell models (containing both Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) and Markovian current formulations). Models of electrical activity of cardiac myocytes with source code are included in the CESE distribution. We hope to extend the number of available models, and add certain neuronal models in the future.
The main strength of CESE is in its uniformity ? a program interface remains the same for different types of models. You can easily switch between models and compare simulation outputs. Model parameters can be modified, selected for output and/or clamped in the same, standard way.
CESE extends the conventional electrophysiological meaning of the "voltage clamp". You can clamp virtually any model variable, including voltage (membrane potential), total or individual ionic currents, ionic concentrations, temperature, gating variables, etc. The clamping commands can be complex piece-wise functions, individually set for the model variable of interest. This opens endless possibilities for the exploration of complex model behavior.
CESE provides simple, but efficient data visualizations. Simulation results can be presented in the graphic and tabulated forms. Plots can be customized, and regions of interest zoomed.
Even though CESE was not designed to be a data analysis tool, you can generate current-voltage relationships (I-Vs) and calculate statistical parameters for a given signal within the program. You can export your data to ASCII, Axon Text File (ATF), and NetCDF formats to continue analysis in your favorite package.
CESE developers
CESE was created from the ground up to incorporate the best programming practices available to Java developers, both in terms of user interface consistency and code clarity and reuse. Wherever possible, CESE rely on available Java APIs (for example Java2D, JavaBeans, JAXP) to simplify the code.
Model creation requires a number of house-keeping functions to be coded ? these include ODE integrators, routines for handling model parameters, saving/restoring model state, visualizing simulation results, etc. CESE provides you with implementation for these routines, hence, you can concentrate on writing the code for concrete ionic current(s), and CESE will handle the rest.
CESE is not trying to create complicated programming frameworks on its own ? rather, it utilizes core Java APIs. For example, models are Java components conforming to the JavaBeans specification. We use XML to specify clamping commands, and Java object serialization to save/restore model parameters.
Enhancements:
- This release improves results printing, adds export to the scalable vector graphics (SVG) format, improves support for continuous simulations, and fixes many bugs in plot rendering and model switching.

poker-engine is a C library to evaluate poker hands. The result of the evalution for a given hand is a number. The general idea is that if the evalution of your hand is lower than the evaluation of the hand of your opponent, you lose.
Many poker variants are supported (draw, holdem, omaha, etc.) and more can be added. poker-eval is designed for speed so that it can be used within poker simulation software using either exhaustive exploration or Monte Carlo.
Enhancements:
- Implementation of tournament breaks and bugfixes.

H2O Rotisserie is a collaborative course management and structured discussion system.

H2O is a system that supports gathering people around ideas.

In addition to the traditional features of learning management systems, H2O includes support for collaboration between projects through the sharing of syllabus elements and through joint discussions between projects.

It also supports Rotisserie-structured discussions, which provide an alternative to traditional online discussion boards by structuring the timing and flow of discussions.

It can be used as a traditional course management platform, but it can also be used for more informal projects centered around the exploration of a set of ideas, whether the project be a conference, an ongoing public discussion, or a traditional academic course.
