Free general dynamics software for linux

LGeneral is a turn-based strategy engine heavily inspired by Panzer General. With LGeneral you play single scenarios or whole campaigns turn by turn against a human player or the AI.

Entrenchment, rugged defense, defensive fire, surprise contacts, surrender, unit supply, weather influence, reinforcements and other implementations contribute to the tactical and strategic depth of the game.

The engine itself has no playable data but there is a converter for Panzer General (DOS version).

General Graphics User Interface is an effort to produce a common graphical user interface for any command-line program.

It uses a wizard-like input front end to collect the information needed. It then calls the desired program automatically with all the necessary options.

The user is able to point&click on various options and select them in a convenient way. In order to create a new user-interface, a user doesnt need to know a programming language, since there is a graphical editor for new GGUI "scripts".

GENESIS (short for GEneral NEural SImulation System) is a general purpose simulation platform that was developed to support the simulation of neural systems ranging from subcellular components and biochemical reactions to complex models of single neurons, simulations of large networks, and systems-level models.

GENESIS has provided the basis for laboratory courses in neural simulation at Caltech, the Marine Biological Laboratory, the Crete, Trieste, Bangalore, and Obidos short courses in Computational Neuroscience, and at least 49 universities of which we are aware.

Most current GENESIS applications involve realistic simulations of biological neural systems. Although the software can also model more abstract networks, other simulators are more suitable for backpropagation and similar connectionist modeling.

Installation

1. Pick the place where you want to install the "genesis" directory tree. If you are making a system-wide installation as "root" user, /usr/local is a good choice. For a personal installation, without root privileges, you can use your home directory ("~"). Change to this directory and extract the genesis directory from the archive file genesis2.2.1-linux-bin.tar.gz. For example,

cd /usr/local
tar xvzf /mnt/cdrom/genesis2.2.1-linux-bin.tar.gz

or from wherever you have it (e.g.~/downloads/genesis2.2.1-linux-bin.tar.gz).

2. Change to the "genesis" directory and run the setup script that creates the ".simrc" GENESIS initialization file". Then copy .simrc to your home directory.

cd genesis
./binsetup
cp .simrc ~

3. Finallly, add the genesis directory to your search path, so that "genesis" can be found from any directory that you are in. If your login shell is bash, you can do this by editing the .bashrc file in your home directory to add the line

PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/genesis

at the end of the file. If you are using tcsh or csh as your command shell, add

set path=($path /usr/local/genesis)

to your .tcsh or .csh file.

At this point, you are ready to try running GENESIS. Change into the directory genesis/Scripts and try some of the tutorials suggested in the README file.

JSBSim Flight Dynamics Model is an open source flight dynamics model (FDM) that compiles and runs under many operating systems, including Linux, Apple Macintosh, Microsoft Windows, Linux, IRIX, Cygwin (Unix on Windows), etc.
The FDM is essentially the physics/math model that defines the movement of an aircraft under the forces and moments applied to it using the various control mechanisms and from the forces of nature.
JSBSim has no native graphics. It can be run by itself as a standalone program, taking input from a script file and various aircraft configuration files; or, it can be run as an integrated part of a larger flight simulator implementation that includes a visual system.
The most notable example of the use of JSBSim is currently seen in the open source FlightGear simulator. JSBSim models the aerodynamic forces and moments by the classic coefficient buildup method.
JSBSim has seen the growth of a fairly large user base, with some of the more notable projects (of which I am aware) described on the Users page.
Main features:
- Fully configurable flight control system, aerodynamics, propulsion, landing gear arrangement, etc. through XML-based text file format.
- Rotational earth effects on the equations of motion (coriolis and centrifugal acceleration modeled).
- Configurable data output formats to screen, file, socket, or any combination of those.
Enhancements:
- This release includes new options for the standalone JSBSim executable, including improved real-time capability.
- This release also includes experimental (but tested) logic to reduce ground reactions jitter while on the ground.

The General Stream Manipulation Platform (GSMP) aims to become for sound what The GIMP is for graphics.
Some years ago, there had been a lack of useable audio-software for Linux - especially for a good multitrack wave-editor - so we decided to write a gtk-- based one that is available under the terms of the GPL.
Now we focus on building a complete and open-source Virtual Studio environment for Linux:
GSMP Studio will feature both MIDI and DSP/Audio as well as beeing open for other kind of data.
It is intended to become a powerfull framework for the user to assemble his own "virtual studio" within the application from various components (like multitrack hd-recorder, midi-sequencer, synth and signalprocessors).
Other than most commercial applications of this kind, the hd-recorder and midi-sequencer will not be the neccessary components of this studio, and setups without them will be possible. For example GSMP can be used as a synthesizer or multi-effect-proccessor in live-setups.
Main features:
- Non-destructive editing: All action on the audio data can be made undone. So you can play around with the effects without modifying any bit of your original data file.
- Multi-threaded design: GSMP is multi-threaded. Especially the the wave-plots and the FXs are generated in a background thread and the UI keeps interactive!
- Internal sample-format: 24/8 bit fixed-point arithmetic is used to allow overflows with no acurrany loss.
- Internal sample-index: 64 bit indexes are used to allow live takes even at 96kHz DVD quality.
- Track count: The track count is not limitted. Also multi-track recording is supported, too. In fact we used GSMP-Editor to record 10 channels with the MIDIMAN Delta 1010 two month ago!!! (BTW: 2-8% CPU load on an Athlon 600Mhz ...)
- Realtime effect prehearing: Most effects can be pre-heared during playback!
- Supported import-formats: Currently MS-Wave, Ogg/Vorbis and MP3 (experimental!!!) are supported. Decompression is done on-the-fly!
- Supported export-formats: Currently only Wave is supported.
- Current effects: Fadings, graphical-eq, some IIR filters, compressor, noise-gate, de-click and reverb.
- The editor has multi-selections. This means you can select non-continous regions (that can be cutted or pasted) - like in The GIMP. You have to press the "Shift" or "Strg" key while moving the mouse for this.
- To enable the OSS plugin when ALSA is also compiled you have to add "--oss" on the command line. (The next release will contain a real dialog to change this ...)
- The two button in the lower-left corner of the main-window are "Follow Current Position" and "Follor IO Position" to let the view automatikally follow a marker ;-)
- When you load (import) a file the zoom is not changed. So you might not see a wave, because the zoom is still 1:1 -> simply zoom out a bit.
- To speed-up GSMP you should pipe all the debugging informations into the "null-device": "gsmp > /dev/null"
