Global Assassin is a text-based action game.

The Global Assassin game is a multiplayer, shoot-em-up game set in the first person, and yet its text-based.

The year is 2035, and robots have taken over the Earth. Most humans died during the invasion or were forced to flee the planet. You are part of a small resistance that has managed to survive underground and is now prepared to strike back.

As a trained assassin, your objective is to return to the Earths surface, stealthily move through the worlds major cities, and systematically rid the planet of its invaders.

The details of the game are as follows.

The battlefield consists of 20 cities around the globe.

These cities have been connected for your mission by an ellaborate portal system.

Use the portals to move between cities as you search for and destroy the robots.

You are armed with a gun, bullets, and grenades.

To successfully strike an invader, you and your target must occupy the same city at the precise moment you attack.

You can lay a mine in a given city, and the very next player to enter that city trips the mine.

You remain alive as long as you have health points.

Over time, you automatically earn back health points, bullets, and grenades.

This is a multiplayer game. You may or may not be the only assassin on the planet!

jFlash is a multilingual, web-based flashcard system based on open web standards, PHP, and XML. jFlash System consists of two principal software modules:
1. A PHP system for indexing and delivering flashcard content.
2. A browser-neutral Javascript application that parses out and presents a set flashcards represented in XML.
jFlash is useful when you want to memorize something, and perhaps share the ability to memorize things with other people over the web. In addition, jFlash is language neutral since its content is presented in UTF-8, so theoretically you could use jFlash to drill anything from Arabic airports to zoo names in Tamil.
A number of learners around the globe and about 15 students in a University of Minnesota Korean class.
Please let me know if you find my software useful and Ill add a link to your jFlash content on my page if you wish!
jFlash is a server-side web application, so you must at present have a PHP-enabled web server.
Enhancements:
- The PHP frontend was updated to be compatible with PHP versions 5.0 or later by using the included compatibility shim for the new PHP XML DOM interface.
- A few more example lessons were added.

The FlightGear flight simulator project is an open-source, multi-platform, cooperative flight simulator development project. Source code for the entire project is available and licensed under the GNU General Public License.

The goal of the FlightGear project is to create a sophisticated flight simulator framework for use in research or academic environments, for the development and pursuit of other interesting flight simulation ideas, and as an end-user application. We are developing a sophisticated, open simulation framework that can be expanded and improved upon by anyone interested in contributing.

There are many exciting possibilities for an open, free flight sim. We hope that this project will be interesting and useful to many people in many areas.

FlightGear is a free flight simulator project. It is being developed through the gracious contributions of source code and spare time by many talented people from around the globe. Among the many goals of this project are the quest to minimize short cuts and "do things right", the quest to learn and advance knowledge, and the quest to have better toys to play with.

The idea for Flight Gear was born out of a dissatisfaction with current commercial PC flight simulators. A big problem with these simulators is their proprietariness and lack of extensibility. There are so many people across the world with great ideas for enhancing the currently available simulators who have the ability to write code, and who have a desire to learn and contribute. Many people involved in education and research could use a spiffy flight simulator frame work on which to build their own projects; however, commercial simulators do not lend themselves to modification and enhancement. The Flight Gear project is striving to fill these gaps.

There are a wide range of people interested and participating in this project. This is truly a global effort with contributors from just about every continent. Interests range from building a realistic home simulator out old airplane parts, to university research and instructional use, to simply having a viable alternative to commercial PC simulators.

Flight Dynamics Models

With FlightGear it is possible to choose between three primary Flight Dynamics Models. It is possible to add new dynamics models or even interface to external "proprietary" flight dynamics models:

1. JSBSim: JSBSim is a generic, 6DoF flight dynamics model for simulating the motion of flight vehicles. It is written in C++. JSBSim can be run in a standalone mode for batch runs, or it can be the driver for a larger simulation program that includes a visuals subsystem (such as FlightGear.) In both cases, aircraft are modeled in an XML configuration file, where the mass properties, aerodynamic and flight control properties are all defined.

2. YASim: This FDM is an integrated part of FlightGear and uses a different approach than JSBSim by simulating the effect of the airflow on the different parts of an aircraft. The advantage of this approach is that it is possible to perform the simulation based on geometry and mass information combined with more commonly available performance numbers for an aircraft. This allows for quickly constructing a plausibly behaving aircraft that matches published performance numbers without requiring all the traditional aerodynamic test data.

3. UIUC: This FDM is based on LaRCsim originally written by the NASA. UIUC extends the code by allowing aircraft configuration files instead and by adding code for simulation of aircraft under icing conditions.

UIUC (like JSBSim) uses lookup tables to retrieve the component aerodynamic force and moment coefficients for an aircraft... and then uses these coefficients to calculate the sum of the forces and moments acting on the aircraft.

Extensive and Accurate World Scenery Data Base

Over 20,000 real world airports included in the full scenery set.
Correct runway markings and placement, correct runway and approach lighting.
Taxiways available for many larger airports (even including the green center line lights when appropriate.)
Sloping runways (runways change elevation like they usually do in real life.)
Directional airport lighting that smoothly changes intensity as your relative view direction changes.
World scenery fits on 3 DVDs. (Im not sure thats a feature or a problem!) But it means we have pretty detailed coverage of the entire world.
Accurate terrain worldwide, based on the most recently released SRTM terrain data.) 3 arc second resolution (about 90m post spacing) for North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia.
Scenery includes all vmap0 lakes, rivers, roads, railroads, cities, towns, land cover, etc.
Nice scenery night lighting with ground lighting concentrated in urban areas (based on real maps) and headlights visible on major highways. This allows for realistic night VFR flying with the ability to spot towns and cities and follow roads.
Scenery tiles are paged (loaded/unloaded) in a separate thread to minimize the frame rate hit when you need to load new areas.

Accurate and Detailed Sky Model

FlightGear implements extremely accurate time of day modeling with correctly placed sun, moon, stars, and planets for the specified time and date. FlightGear can track the current computer clock time in order to correctly place the sun, moon, stars, etc. in their current and proper place relative to the earth. If its dawn in Sydney right now, its dawn in the sim right now when you locate yourself in virtual Sidney. The sun, moon, stars, and planets all follow their correct courses through the sky. This modeling also correctly takes into account seasonal effects so you have 24 hour days north of the arctic circle in the summer, etc. We also illuminate the correctly placed moon with the correctly placed sun to get the correct phase of the moon for the current time/date, just like in real life.

Flexible and Open Aircraft Modeling System

FlightGear has the ability to model a wide variety of aircraft. Currently you can fly the 1903 Wright Flyer, strange flapping wing "ornithopters", a 747 and A320, various military jets, and several light singles. FlightGear has the ability to model those aircraft and just about everything in between.

FlightGear has extremely smooth and fluid instrument animation that updates at the same rate as your out-the-window view updates (i.e. as fast as your computer can crank, and not artificially limited and chunky like in some sims.)

FlightGear has the infrastructure to allow aircraft designers to build fully animated, fully operational, fully interactive 3d cockpits (which even update and display correctly from external chase plane views.)

FlightGear realistically models real world instrument behavior. Instruments that lag in real life, lag correctly in FlightGear, gyro drift is modeled correctly, the magnetic compass is subject to aircraft body forces -- all those things that make real world flying a challenge.

FlightGear also accurately models many instrument and system failures. If the vacuum system fails, the HSI gyros spin down slowly with a corresponding degradation in response as well as a slowly increasing bias/error.

Moderate Hardware Requirements

The intention of FlightGear is to look nice, but not at the expense of other aspects of a realistic simulator. Our focus is not on competing in the "game" market and not on the ultra-flashy graphic tricks.

The result is a simulator with moderate hardware requirements to run at smooth frame rates. You can be reasonably happy on a $500-1000 (USD) machine (possibly even less if you are careful) and dont necessarily need $3000 (USD) worth of new hardware like you do with the many of the newest games.

That said, the more hardware you throw at FlightGear, the better it looks and runs, so dont feel like you have to chuck your expensive new hardware if you just purchased it. :-)

Internal Properties EXPOSED!

FlightGear allows users and aircraft designers access to a very large number of internal state variables via numerous internal and external access mechanisms. These state variables are organized into a convenient hierarchal "property" tree.

Using the properties tree it is possible to monitor just about any internal state variable in FlightGear. Its possible to remotely control FlightGear from an external script. You can create model animations, sound effects, instrument animations and network protocols for about any situation imaginable just by editing a small number of human readable configuration files. This is a powerful system that makes FlightGear immensely flexible, configurable, and adaptable.

Networking options

A number of networking options allow FlightGear to communicate with other instances of FlightGear, GPS receivers, external flight dynamics modules, external autopilot or control modules, as well as other software such as the Open Glass Cockpit project and the Atlas mapping utility.

A generic input/output option allows for a user defined output protocol to a file, serial port or network client.

A multi player protocol is available for using FlightGear on a local network in a multi aircraft environment, for example to practice formation flight or for tower simulation purposes.

The powerful network options make it possible to synchronize several instances of FlightGear allowing for a multi-display, or even a cave environment. If all instances are running at the same frame rate consistently, it is possible to get extremely good and tight synchronization between displays.

Flight Gear and its source code have intentionally been kept open, available, and free. In doing so, we are able to take advantage of the efforts of tremendously talented people from around the world. Contrast this with the traditional approach of commercial software vendors, who are limited by the collective ability of the people they can hire and pay. Our approach brings its own unique challenges and difficulties, but we are confident (and other similarly structured projects have demonstrated) that in the long run we can outclass the commercial "competition."

Contributing to Flight Gear can be educational and a lot of fun. A long time developer, Curtis Olson, had this to say about working on Flight Gear:

Personally, Flight Gear has been a great learning experience for me. I have been exposed to many new ideas and have learned a tremendous amount of "good stuff" in the process of discussing and implementing various Flight Gear subsystems. If for no other reason, this alone makes it all worth while.

SMSTerm is an application that uses the ICQ2000 protocol to present you a shell on your mobile phone which allows you to interact with your computer from any mobile on a GSM network. It runs a shell on a pty, and allows you to directly send commands to the shell through SMS. Minimal authentication is done over SMS before spawning a shell and offering it to the user on the mobile phone. It is very useful for remote administration tasks, or checking out the status of the network, or just to run some small chores on your system while you are away. It uses Expect.pm in the background. SMSTerm also includes a script to send SMS through the ICQ network from the command line to any GSM mobile, and also includes a PHP script to set up a Web->SMS gateway.
This is a simple perl script to allow all you people out there who cannot live without having a peek at what your box at home has to say, when you are on the move. All you need is a GSM mobile, and an ICQ account. An ICQ account is required because it is used as the
underlying protocol in SMSTerm to transfer/recieve SMSs.
Yoy can use this application to contact systems behind NATs, as the kernel ships with kernel modules to allow ICQ to be masqd reliably. It is a good way to telnet into your system, which maybe behind a firewall, and do some chores, when youre halfway accross the globe
Enhancements:
- included the new vICQ.pm version 1.10: the earlier version had some serious bugs in receiving SMS which prevented SMSTerm from working at all. I released SMSTerm 0.6 in a hurry during my exams so I couldnt test it thoroughly. Apologies to everyone who couldnt get it to work. This time everything is tested and tried, and it works.
-
- delay modified: the default delay time has been increased from 10s to 20s in SMSTerm. This is because ICQ was giving me RATE_LIMIT errors if i set it too low. Anyone who get a RATE_LIMIT can try bumping it somemore.

sendxmpp project is a perl-script to send xmpp (jabber), similar to what mail does for mail.
sendxmpp was written by me, Dirk-Jan C. Binnema, and is available under the term of the GNU General Public License v2. The hard work is done by Ryan Eatmons Net::XMPP-modules, and you need have them installed for sendxmpp to work.
Obviously, you also need a jabber account; they are freely available at jabber.org, but you can also run your own server.
sendxmpp is in use on computers around the globe, for example for distributing CVS-commit alerts, sending server warnings and notifying users.
Example:
Suppose you have to manage a remote server somewhere, and you have to keep an eye on its cpu load-average. You could write a script to check this, and run it periodically from cron. This script could contain something like:
if test "$cpuload" -gt "$CPULOADMAX"; then
top -b -n 1 | sendxmpp -s "wake up! cpu load $cpuload at `hostname`" someone@jabber.org
fi
And on my client machine, my jabber-client wil pop-up a message, depending on your client. There are many different client, for any platform/OS.
Installation:
unpack the tarball, and enter the new directory
$ perl Makefile.PL
$ make
$ make install
Enhancements:
- This version brings some documentation improvements and also you specify non-default port numbers for jabber servers.
