Free ground software for linux

GCount is a graphical web counter and logging script. I developed GCount because I wanted a graphical web counter for a page I was working on. I wanted one that I had some control over, one that offered some flexibilty.
I wrote GCount from the ground up to be functional and quick. I hope that is what is has become.
Main features:
- 100% PHP
- Uses the super small and fast SQLite library
- Many different type faces to choose from
- Reporting available for each counter, know who visits your site!
- FAST! On my 700mhz machine it takes .02 seconds to make a counter
Enhancements:
- Added PDO support for people that have that. That includes SQLite and much requested MySQL. Technically any PDO driver should work but SQLite and MySQL are the only tested ones right now.
- Better debugging if something does go wrong
- Removed a duplicate counter thanks to Scott Stevensons good eye.

microdc is a command-line based Direct Connect client that uses the GNU Readline library for user interaction. microdc was developed from ground up and does not depend on any other program. Despite the command-line user interface, microdc was designed to be user friendly and simple to use.
microdc is currently in beta state - there may be many bugs not yet discovered. It also lacks some features that other clients support, such as file hashing, multiple hub connections, and hub list support.
microdc is free software - it is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). It is written in C by Oskar Liljeblad, and is designed to compile and run on modern POSIX compatible systems such as Linux.
Main features:
- Nearly full support of the original Direct Connect protocol.
- GNU Readline support.
- Sensible tab-completion of commands, user names, local files, remote files, speed names, and connection names.
- One process per connection for optimal transfer rates.
- Small memory footprint (I think).

Zeps Dreamland is a block-building platformer.

The game consists of navigating Zep throughout a level to reach a certain location which allows him to advance to the next level. This is not such an easy task, however. Many obstacles will be in your path, and it is up to you to determine the best (and sometimes only way) to get around them.

Zep has the ability to create special "blocks" by using the life energy from the ground he is standing on. By building the blocks in specific patterns, Zep can alter the landscape to his ability thus allowing him to reach his goal! Again, not everything is as it seems.

Zep cannot build blocks while standing on top of just anything. There are many types of ground that restrict Zeps building ability. In addition to being able to create these special blocks, Zep can also destroy them.

Ofnibot is a reincarnation of Kevin Lenzos Infobot in minimalist form. Kevin Lenzos Infobot program (http://www.infobot.org/) is an awesome IRC bot that is used on many IRC channels around the world.

Unfortunately, Infobot has become somewhat large in its old age. Since I maintain a number of IRC channels that require an information bot, my goal was to create an Infobot-compatible bot from the ground up. This bot is fast, secure, and modern.

The core function of the Infobot is to store a knowledge base of "factoids" or facts about things. The knowledge base can then be accessed and updated using common English phrases.

Ofnibot (Ofni = Info spelled backwards) is meant to provide that same core functionality without the bloat of the Infobot code. Ofnibot uses the modern POE::Component::IRC module to interface with IRC and, more importantly, it uses commands and files that are fully compatible with the original Infobot. The entire program comes in at just over 300 lines of Perl.

Because Ofnibot was programmed from the ground up and does not use any of the Infobot code, I cannot guarantee it behaves exactly the same when responding to users. It does, however, provide an exact subset of Infobot commands and can use the exact same database files as the Infobot. It can easily work as a drop-in replacement.

Heroes project is a Nibbles-like game, just better.
Heroes is similar to the "Tron" and "Nibbles" games of yore, but includes many graphical improvements and new game features.
In it, you must maneuver a small vehicle around a world and collect powerups while avoiding obstacles, your opponents trails, and even your own trail.
There are five game modes available. Quest is the classical Nibbles, in Death Match you start with very long tails and must kill your opponents, in Killem All you must run over lemmings moving on the ground, in Time Cash or Color modes you must collect money or pyramids of color. Heroes features 12 original sound tracks, 94 levels (in 10 different tile sets) plus a level editor.
Heroes source code (distributed under the GNU General Public Licence version 2) originates from an original MS-DOS game but has been heavily modified to enhance the portability. Some new features have been added and MS-DOS support has been lost by the meantime. The original MS-DOS version can still be found on the Internet but is unmaintained and should be considered obsolete.
The current development concentrates on cleaning the code and porting the game to the various operating systems available. Our objective is to release the version 1.0 as a clean and portable base that would allow significant additions such as network support or programmable vehicles.
Enhancements:
- Support for the heroes-hq-sound-tracks package.
Bug fixes:
- soundconf: failed to override aliases.
- Heroes GGI driver failed to report an error if no two-frame mode was available.
- Various code nits.

E-GADS! (Electronic Ground Search and rescue Administrative Database System) is a Web-based database that enables ground search and rescue teams to track membership, certifications, search reports, events, and training records.
It is fully bilingual (English/French) and is currently based on Canadian geographic data and NSS (National Search and Rescue Secretariat) categorization codes, but can be customized for other languages and data.
MapServer and Proj are required for the optional map display. The application has been tested on RedHat Linux and MS Windows systems.
Enhancements:
- A security issue with common.php that could permit user-specified file inclusion was fixed.
