gems is a project that shows a console session in several terminals in real time.

The gems system is a client/server application that allows you to show a single console session in different computers or terminals in real time.

It can also be used to transmit any other kind of data to more than one computer at the same time.

Commands to compile and install gems from sources

To compile:

$ make

To install (as root):

# make install

To uninstall (as root):

Gem Drop X is a fast-paced puzzle game where its your job to clear the screen of gems before they squash you! (Youre at the bottom, theyre at the top, and they keep coming!)
Gem Drop X was directly ported from the original GemDrop for the Atari 8-bit, which was based on "Magical Drop III" by SNK.
You grab gems (up to 10) of the same color and use them to knock more gems off the screen. Match 3 or more of the same color in a column and >BAM!< they explode! Any adjacent gems of the same color also explode, causing a chain reaction that might cover the entire screen!
The more gems that disappear with one shot, the higher the score you get!
Main features:
- Special objects, which help (or hinder) you on the way. Activate them by including them in a match:
Bombs - stop the chain reaction and destory any gems on either side and above and blow it.
Wildcards - cause more chain reactions with adjacent pieces.
Stopwatches - freezes the gems so no more appear from the top for a few seconds, giving you precious time with which to clear more of the screen!
- Progressive levels. More gems when you start, and less time before new ones appear.
- Expert levels. Levels 15 to 20 have twice as many different colored gems as levels 1 to 14, making it even more difficult to get matches!
- Play with keyboard, joystick, or mouse.
- Beautiful graphics, most 3D rendered
- Stereo music and sound effects.
- Includes source code for both Gem Drop X (in C, using libSDL), as well as the original "Gem Drop" code (in Action!, for the Atari 8bit)!

Gweled is a Gnome version of a popular PalmOS/Windows/Java game called "Bejeweled" or "Diamond Mine".
The aim of the game is to make alignment of 3 or more gems, both vertically or horizontally by swapping adjacent gems. The game ends when there are no possible moves left.
Main features:
- exact same gameplay as the commercial versions
- SVG original graphics
- smooth animations (well not always smooth)
Enhancements:
- It has sound, it saves prefs.

EasySok project is a sokoban game for KDE3.
In sokoban you are a warehouse keeper which has to push gems on their goals. The problem is, that the keeper can only push one gem and there are walls which stand in his way.
Sokoban was originally invented in 1982 by Hiroyuki Imabayashi at the Japanese company Thinking Rabbit, Inc. Sokoban has a (relatively) small, but very active group of fans around the world, which permanently create new levels and sokoban programs, so its unlikely that youll run out of new material.
If you dont use KDE3, just look at the link section, to find programs which are supported on your favorite platform (there are versions for Windows, Mac, PalmPilot, DOS and several Java programs, so you should find a program which you can use).
Main features:
- Playable with mouse or keyboard (or both).
- Automatically saves the last attempt for each map and all solutions.
- The best solutions for each level can be send to a highscore server and compared with the solutions of other users. The solutions are compared by the minimum number of pushes, the minimum number of linear pushes, the minimum number of gem changes and the minimum number of moves.
- A retro mode. In this mode you play the game backwards, starting from the end position. This allows you to quickly determine, in which order you have to push the gems on the goals.
- Saving and loading of games, level collections and solutions.
- A map editor, which lets you create your own maps and collections. It has also very limited support for auto generation of maps.
- Export a map as an image.
- Export a game either as an MNG-animation.
- An easy way to find duplicate maps.
- Annotation of solutions.
- Bookmarks for fast switching between games. You can also import your old KSokoban bookmarks.
- Unlimited undo/redo.
- You can let your moves be played.
- You can optimize your solutions for the number of moves or pushes made. This can also be done automatically for you.
- A basic solver (its not really clear, if this is a feature or a misfeature).
- You can change the look of the game by themes (currently the number of themes is really quite small).
- You can let the game honor dead fields (which are fields, where no gem should ever be positioned, because it cannot be moved to a goal from there). Depending on the theme, this dead fields are also marked. You have to try it, to really appreciate it!
- You can also let the programm show you all valid gem pushes.
- Its highly configurable.
Enhancements:
- Fixed configuration of toolbar.
- Made toolbar hidable.
- Updated admin dir to kde3.3 version.

Gem to rpm converter creates an RPM spec file from a Ruby gem. The project uses the gem metadata to fill out most of the information needed for building an RPM containing the gem.

Usage:

Run gem2rpm --help for options

At its simplest, download a gem (lets call that file GEM) and run

gem2rpm $GEM

This will print an rpm spec file based on the information contained in the gems spec file. In general, it is necessary to edit the generated spec file because the gem is missing some important information that is customarily provided in rpms, most notably the license and the changelog.

Rather than editing the generated specfile, edit the template from which the specfile is generated. This will make it easier to update the RPM when a new version of the Gem becomes available.

To support this process, it is recommended to first save the default template somewhere:

gem2rpm -T > rubygem-GEM.spec.template

Now, edit the template and then run gem2rpm to generate the spec file using the edited template:

gem2rpm -t rubygem-GEM.spec.template > rubygem-GEM.spec

With that, you can now build your RPM as ususal. When a new version of the gem becomes available, you should edit the saved template and rerun gem2rpm over it.

Template Details:

The template is a standard erb file; there are three main variables available in the template file:

format - The Gem::Format for the gem
spec - The Gem::Specification for the gem (the same as format.spec)

Conventions:

A typical source RPM for a gem should consist of three files: the gem file itself, the template for the spec file and the spec file. To ensure that the template will be included in the source RPM, it must be listed as one of the sources in the spec file.

The resulting rpms should follow the naming convention rubygem-$GEM where GEM is the name of the packaged gem. The default template also makes sure that the resulting package provides ruby($GEM), according to general packaging conventions for scripting languages

Snes9X is a Super Nintendo Entertainment System emulator.
Snes9x is a portable, freeware Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) emulator.
It basically allows you to play most games designed for the SNES and Super Famicom Nintendo game systems on your PC or Workstation; which includes some real gems that were only ever released in Japan.
Main features:
- ability to save in any location of the game, despite how the game was designed its amazingly useful when you dont want to redo the same level over and over.
- built-in peripherals. This is anything from multi-taps, to super scopes, to cheat devices.
- ability to rip sprites and music for your own personal use
- easier to organize and no stacks of cartridges that scare off non-nerdish women.
- filters can be used to enhance graphics on old games.
Snes9x is the result of well over three years worth of part-time hacking, coding, recoding, debugging, divorce, etc. (just kidding about the divorce bit). Snes9x is coded in C++, with three assembler CPU emulation cores on the i386 Linux and Windows ports.
Currently there are many ports of Snes9x available, please check the download page to see if a port exists for your system.
Enhancements:
- Pseudo-hires rendering flush, Old 2xsai endian fix
- Added oops auto-snapshot support
- Anomies control remapping patch

- Changed the default settings in config.
- Ported Snes9x to AMD64.
- Completed DSP-1 code.
- Updated DSP-3 and DSP-4 code.
- Fixed a lot of bugs.
