Free fixture universe software for linux

Universe project is a Open Source Master Of Orion-like game.

Universe is an Open-Source game which resembles Master Of Orion. It is written in Java.

The goal is to have as few arbitrary limits as possible, allowing games as large as you wish. It also supports a concept called "Schemes" which allows programmers to develop distinct rule sets and extensions.

The "Virtual Universe" is a 3D cyberspace which offers more possibilities than just chat: it is a combination of the Web, chat, and instant messaging within a realistic, three-dimensional cyberspace.
The "Virtual Universe" is a virtual reality environment which runs on top of the Internet.
Main features:
- chat with each other
- see the chat-partner as a virtual, three-dimensional person
- interact and communicate
- be creative in many ways
- create own worlds for any desired subject
Enhancements:
- A lighting bug in .COB/.SCN loader has been fixed.

XCruiser project is a filesystem vizualization utility for X.
XCruiser (formerly known as XCruise) is a filesystem visualization utility which compares a filesystem to a 3D-formed universe and allows you to "cruise" within it.
It constructs a universe from directory trees, and you can navigate with a mouse.
Enhancements:
- The code was rewritten almost entirely.
New features:
- Xt is supported.
- Easy customization of button bindings / colors / accelaration.
- Keyboard support (but inconvenient).
- A new rendering algorithm. (still incomplete!)
- Monochrome mode is dismissed.

Virtual Universe World Server is a component which runs as subserver of a Universe server.

The area such a worldserver can handle is limited only by the configuration the universe executes this server with.

The package offers unlimited free updates, unlimited free security-fixes

Test::Unit::TestCase is a unit testing framework base class.

SYNOPSIS

package FooBar;
use base qw(Test::Unit::TestCase);

sub new {
my $self = shift()->SUPER::new(@_);
# your state for fixture here
return $self;
}

sub set_up {
# provide fixture
}
sub tear_down {
# clean up after test
}
sub test_foo {
# test the foo feature
}
sub test_bar {
# test the bar feature
}

(Taken from the JUnit TestCase class documentation)

A test case defines the "fixture" (resources need for testing) to run multiple tests. To define a test case:

implement a subclass of TestCase
define instance variables that store the state of the fixture
initialize the fixture state by overriding set_up()
clean-up after a test by overriding tear_down().

Each test runs in its own fixture so there can be no side effects among test runs. Here is an example:

package MathTest;
use base qw(Test::Unit::TestCase);

sub new {
my $self = shift()->SUPER::new(@_);
$self->{value_1} = 0;
$self->{value_2} = 0;
return $self;
}

sub set_up {
my $self = shift;
$self->{value_1} = 2;
$self->{value_2} = 3;
}

For each test implement a method which interacts with the fixture. Verify the expected results with assertions specified by calling $self->assert() with a boolean value.

sub test_add {
my $self = shift;
my $result = $self->{value_1} + $self->{value_2};
$self->assert($result == 5);
}

Once the methods are defined you can run them. The normal way to do this uses reflection to implement run_test. It dynamically finds and invokes a method. For this the name of the test case has to correspond to the test method to be run. The tests to be run can be collected into a TestSuite. The framework provides different test runners, which can run a test suite and collect the results. A test runner either expects a method suite() as the entry point to get a test to run or it will extract the suite automatically.

If you do not like the rather verbose backtrace that appears when a test fails, you can use the quell_backtrace() method. You will get any message provided, but not the backtrace.

StarTrade is a Spacesimulation like Wing Commander:Privateer or X-Beyond the Frontier with 2D world view. You can trade, pirate or work for the Allianze to hunt pirats.
As some of you may have noticed, there was a game-submission a few months ago - "StarTrade", a freeware-currently-in-development-spacesim ressembling Wing Commander: privateer, Freelancer or X. But as most comments were positive, motivating to download StarTrade and give it a go, a problem showed up: StarTrade has been german-only.
I suddendly realized that, when releasing StarTrade for Linux-users, there will be also a large number of potentional gamers who do not speak german, so I started a communityproject in our official forum aiming at a first, rough (well.. we got a slight lack of translators who speak english as their first language) english translation - and here it is. Just visit the official StarTrade homepage (http://www.fetzenet.de), download, after already having installed StarTrade, the English-Mod and follow the instructions.
However, this is only a first attempt - Ive created an international Area in the official forum and everyones welcome to visit us. If you encounter any translation-errors or just want to improve something feel free to join the communityproject - the released version is only a first try.
Thats it. Have fun to everyone who will try out StarTrade e.g. the international Version of it!
