Battles of Antargis 0.2c
Battles of Antargis is a realtime strategy game. more>>
Battles of Antargis is a realtime strategy game. Battles of Antargiss main purpose lies on conquering not on building.
Battles Of Antargis is an open-source game with GPL license. You have one or more heroes that you can control. They can recruit troops and conquer the world. While doing this they have to gather food and weapons. All around are people and animals which populate the world.
Unlike the typical Warcraft-like games, you have to get by with the existing population and resources.
This is a first tech-demo, so please be patient. Apart from this we are searching for new artists and developers.
Main features:
Visuals:
- animated milkshape models (MilkShape ASCII-importer)
- static models (Wavefront obj-importer)
- shadowmap based shadows (PSMs work in progress)
- fustrum culling
- shader support
Game
- the whole gamelogic is done in ruby, so it should be fairly easy to modify this game.
- the whole layout is done in xml
- basic dialogs and intro-screens implemented, but nice graphics still missing
- loading/saving
Editor
- edit heightmap
- place entities on map

Realms of Rivalry
Realms of Rivalry is an online tactical rpg. more>>
Realms of Rivalry is an online tactical rpg. Play short skirmishes in random-generated game worlds.
The game can be summarized as an online graphical turn-based strategy/rpg game where you can play short tactical skirmishes with 2-4 players in small random-generated game worlds. The game is free and can be played either as an applet or downloadable client.
The time-limited turns (30-90 secs) give the game a semi-realtime feel, and the game has sometimes been characterized as "chess on steroids".
Main features:
- Community friendly game lobby where you can chat with others and join realms.
- Up to 4 players simultaneously battling on the same realm.
- Players control teams of 3 characters: Warrior, Archer and Mage.
- Time-limited turn-based gameplay.
- Random-generated game worlds (realms).
- CPU controlled monsters.
- Several weapons, armor, traps and other items.
- Occlusion calculation used in combat situations.
- Interrupts.
- Different types of terrain.
- Buy & sell items at vendors.
- Monster respawning.
- Ingame chat.
- Detailed end-of-game summary panel.
Explore the map and kill creatures to obtain weapons, potions, runes, traps and more to aid you in your quest for domination!
The game development has been very "test-driven" in the sense that the game quickly was made playable and that features and changes were added and removed continuously during development. This hopefully improves gameplay, but of course at the expense of dramatically increased development time.
Realms of rivalry was never intended to "soothe the masses", but were made entirely to match the game that we ourselves would like to play - something we have done for many, many hours :-) But of course, some of you might enjoy this game aswell, and that is why we decided to share it with you!.

Rapid XSLT for linux 0.1
Provide a complete set of tools that a programmer can use for writing XSLT. more>> The project is still too early in its development life cycle to be compared to other, more mature, editors and IDEs. Nevertheless, it does provide a complete set of tools that a programmer can use for writing XSLT.
There are no plans to further develop this project.
Some of the features of this editor:
- Ctrl+Shift brings up a list of frequently typed XSLT elements with a shortcut letter that allows one to be inserted.
- Shorthand Notation supports two groups of elements that abstract nicely to programmatic constructs: xsl:call-template and xsl:with-param elements and xsl:choose, xsl:when and xsl:otherwise. They can be written using the shorthand notation as a method call and a case-default construct, respectively.
- Ctrl+Alt+arrow keys navigate between elements and attributes.
- User preferences allow inserted code to be customized.
- One or more elements can be wrapped with an inserted element.
- Multiple XSLT files can be opened and edited at once.
The download file contains help sheets to explain how to use the program.
What are its known limitations?
- The preferences window is not user friendly in that the options that should be set via radio buttons are set by typing YES or NO into text fields.
- When closing an open document, the user is prompted to save even if no changes have been made to it.
- Only one construct can be typed at a time in the shorthand notation text area. Therefore, a case/default construct may not be followed by a method call, and vice versa.<<less

Ensemblist project is an OpenGL puzzle game.
Ensemblist is a unique reflexion game created for the video game coding compo held in March 2003 in Paris.
In this game, you have to put together several simple geometric primitives to build a given shape. For this, you can move, rotate and compose the primitives with the boolean operators union, intersection and minus. This is building what is called a C.S.G, for Constructive Solid Geometry.

Sophosticated 1.2
Sophosticated consists of two BASH scripts. more>>
Sophosticated consists of two BASH scripts. One script installs Sophos virus scanner updates from CD, while the other downloads, unpacks, and installs the latest IDEs.
These scripts needs BASH or a compatible shell. They were originally made and tested on a Mandrake Linux 8.0 installation (and still work fine up to Mandrake 9.1), so you may need to alter the paths to the utility programs (ls gawk grep mail logger eject) to suit your system. I also installed Sweep in /home/sweep rather than the default directory, which you may not have done. The site I made this for doesnt use InterCheck.
I run auto_update_ides thrice daily and auto_update_sweep daily, the clients staff leave any new Sophos CD in the drive over the weekend so that the update script can see and use it. The example crontab reflects this. To use it as-is (and this presumes that you have nothing else in roots crontab, do "crontab -l" to check), do "crontab crontab" in this directory.
The scripts work for me, they will probably work on any reasonably well-equipped Unix system, and maybe many others such as BeOS, OS/2 and OS/X, but as I said above there is no guarantee or warranty of any kind. If you break it, you get to keep both pieces (under the terms of the GPL, of course).
Yes, this even includes Dohl MacBride and his cronies, to whose level of pettiness and selfishness I refuse to stoop.
Enhancements:
- The "top directory" is now explicitly defined at the top of each script. If you install Sophos in /home/sweep as I do, you will need to edit this. The current settings match Sophos default (/usr/local).
- Since /usr/local/tmp normally doesnt exist, the scripts will use $TMPDIR for scribbling if $TOPDIR/tmp doesnt exist.

TFM Linux 20060818
TFM Linux is a Linux operating system that can be used for small enterprises. more>>
TFM Linux project is a Linux operating system that can be used for small enterprises, whose administrators are not so experienced in Linux.
It all began a long time ago with a Red Hat distribution, whose packages were very low on security, so that less than 5 % of these were kept and the rest was replaced with alternate Red Hat packages which proved to be more stable.
Thats the way the TFM Linux idea was born. The simplest method at that time was the adaptation of Red Hat distribution to the needs previously specified. So in March 2001 TFM Linux 1.0 was launched.
An easy to install operating system, easy to use as server edition or workstation and adapted for the users needs. All the knowledge gathered during all this time, allowed the observation of the modified Red Hat distribution limits, and, as future plan, it was established that the next version of the distribution will be done starting from zero, for having complete control to what is happening in the distribution and the packages interactions.

Internet DJ Console 0.5.1
The Linux DJ software more>> Internet DJ Console is a program that I started writing in March of 2005 after discovering the lack of DJ software on Linux that suited me. The programs that I did find were either feature poor, full of bugs, suited more towards the live side of things, or sadly did not even compile. It dawned on me that something needed to be done and that having some coding skills of my own that I may as well have a go myself. The basics of the different components in the project and how they would fit together came to me almost in a flash, and after pondering the sketch I drew, a few days later I started coding. The result is Internet DJ Console.<<less

Secret of Eternia 0.3
Secret of Eternia project is a 2D RPG using ClanLib. more>>
Secret of Eternia project is a 2D RPG using ClanLib.
The eaisest way to get started is to use an example map from the game itself. Open up (File-Open) the first map in the maps/ folder (maps/1.fmp). You will notice that the map looks exactly like the first screen of the game demo!
You will notice the screen is divided into 2 main sections. The larger section is the preview of the map you are working on. The left side menu is a listing of all avaliable blocks that you currently have in the map. You can click on a block to set it as your current brush. This is similar to choosing a paint color in a paint program. Once you select a block, you can then edit the map by clicking in the map area. This is the generic way to edit the map.
Play around with this map to create some different landscapes and such using many blocks. You can even save the map and start up SoE to see your changes! (Make sure you have a backup of the original map, or you will have to download the game again).
Enhancements:
- Bug fixes! See the forum for detailed information.
- Lua support is added in. (see docs/ for how to use this)
- Lighting effects are here!
- Fully Working Windows Support

Domino Javadoc Generator 0.4
Domino Javadoc Generator project aims to create a documentation to the Lotus Notes API for Java. more>>
Domino Javadoc Generator project aims to create a documentation to the Lotus Notes API for Java in a standard format common in the Java comunity and accepted by the most IDEs for Java.
The Lotus Notes API is delivered as a Java archive together with the original documentation in the native format of a Domino database with the IBM Domino Designer. The documentation can be read only in the Lotus Notes. Java-oriented tools cannot use it to display a description of a Java class, to browse classes and their methods or to offer an automatic code insertion based on a Java object and its class.
The goal is to create a Javadoc documentation together with a pseudo-source code of the Lotus Notes API. The documentation can be viewed, indexed and integrated to IDEs. The pseudo-source code can be integrated to IDEs to support object browsing and automatic source code insertion.

Jikes RVM 2.9.1
Jikes RVM is a virtual machine and runtime environment for Java. more>>
Jikes RVM is a compiler that translates JavaTM source files as defined in The Java Language Specification into the bytecoded instruction set and binary format defined in The Java Virtual Machine Specification.
You may wonder why the world needs another Java compiler, considering that Sun provides javac free with its SDK. Jikes has five advantages that make it a valuable contribution to the Java community: [OSI Certified Logo]
* Open source. Jikes is OSI Certified Open Source Software. OSI Certified is a certification mark of the Open Source Initiative.
* Strictly Java compatible. Jikes strives to adhere to both The Java Language Specification and The Java Virtual Machine Specification as tightly as possible, and does not support subsets, supersets, or other variations of the language. The FAQ describes some of the side effects of this strict language conformance.
* High performance. Jikes is a high performance compiler, making it ideal for use with larger projects.
* Dependency analysis. Jikes performs a dependency analysis on your code that provides two very useful features: Incremental builds and makefile generation.
* Constructive Assistance. Jikes strives to help the programmer write better code in two key ways. Jikes has always strived to provide clear error and warning text to assist the programmer in understanding problems, and now with release 1.19 Jikes helps point out common programming mistakes as documented in Effective Java.
Abridged from a FAQ entry which was adapted from some material by Lou Grinzo for an article he wrote.
The fact that Jikes is a high-performance, highly compatible Java compiler that can be used on almost any computing platform makes it an interesting program and worth investigating for almost any Java programmer. But Jikes is also notable because it lies at the center of two events: the adoption of open source philosophy and practice by large corporations, and the continued growth of Java for Linux.
Its worth pointing out that Jikes is not, and is not intended to be, a complete development environment -- it is simply a command line compiler. It should not be considered a replacement for more complete tools, such as Source Navigator or IBMs VisualAge for Java which provide sophisticated graphical IDEs (Integrated Development Environments).
The Jikes compiler was released in binary form in April 1997 on the IBM alphaWorks site. Jikes for Linux was released on 15 July 1998. The response was overwhelming -- Jikes had more downloads in the three months after the announcement than in the fifteen months before the announcement.
Around the end of March 2002, IBM opened a fledgling community hosting location attached to their developerWorks site with Jikes as a founding member. Approximately 3 years later this server was decommissioned and the most active projects migrated into SourceForge.net hosting options. During those three years Jikes was the #1 most popular project every month, often by a large margin. We approached nearly 250,000 downloads while residing at dw/oss, and had been consistently tallying triple digit daily downloads.
Release of Jikes for Linux was soon followed by requests to open up the source. Many notes and comments from users suggested this would be a good idea. The source was released under a liberal license in December 1998 to make a very visible demonstration of IBMs commitment to open standards and to Java Technology, to make Jikes more reliable and accessible, to encourage more widespread use of Java Technology, to encourage standardization of Java Technology, and to gain some experience actually running an open source project. This marked the start of one of IBMs first efforts in the open source arena.
The original alphaWorks version of Jikes was written by Philippe Charles and Dave Shields of the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center. For awhile after the release of the source they continued to work on the compiler as contributors; however, shortly after the project migrated to developerWorks Open Source Server they were officially moved off onto other projects within IBM. Today there are no IBMers who work on Jikes as part of their job description. Jikes survives today soley based on the free time contributions of members of the open source community.
The source code is available under IBMs Public License, which has been approved by the OSI (Open Source Initiative) as a fully certified open source license. The project provides access to the complete CVS development tree, which includes not only Jikes, but also the source for the Jacks Test Suite and the Jikes Parser Generator used to build Jikes. Jikes is included in many Open Source Operating Systems. The Jacks Test Suite is a replacement for the Jikestst package.
<<lessYou may wonder why the world needs another Java compiler, considering that Sun provides javac free with its SDK. Jikes has five advantages that make it a valuable contribution to the Java community: [OSI Certified Logo]
* Open source. Jikes is OSI Certified Open Source Software. OSI Certified is a certification mark of the Open Source Initiative.
* Strictly Java compatible. Jikes strives to adhere to both The Java Language Specification and The Java Virtual Machine Specification as tightly as possible, and does not support subsets, supersets, or other variations of the language. The FAQ describes some of the side effects of this strict language conformance.
* High performance. Jikes is a high performance compiler, making it ideal for use with larger projects.
* Dependency analysis. Jikes performs a dependency analysis on your code that provides two very useful features: Incremental builds and makefile generation.
* Constructive Assistance. Jikes strives to help the programmer write better code in two key ways. Jikes has always strived to provide clear error and warning text to assist the programmer in understanding problems, and now with release 1.19 Jikes helps point out common programming mistakes as documented in Effective Java.
Abridged from a FAQ entry which was adapted from some material by Lou Grinzo for an article he wrote.
The fact that Jikes is a high-performance, highly compatible Java compiler that can be used on almost any computing platform makes it an interesting program and worth investigating for almost any Java programmer. But Jikes is also notable because it lies at the center of two events: the adoption of open source philosophy and practice by large corporations, and the continued growth of Java for Linux.
Its worth pointing out that Jikes is not, and is not intended to be, a complete development environment -- it is simply a command line compiler. It should not be considered a replacement for more complete tools, such as Source Navigator or IBMs VisualAge for Java which provide sophisticated graphical IDEs (Integrated Development Environments).
The Jikes compiler was released in binary form in April 1997 on the IBM alphaWorks site. Jikes for Linux was released on 15 July 1998. The response was overwhelming -- Jikes had more downloads in the three months after the announcement than in the fifteen months before the announcement.
Around the end of March 2002, IBM opened a fledgling community hosting location attached to their developerWorks site with Jikes as a founding member. Approximately 3 years later this server was decommissioned and the most active projects migrated into SourceForge.net hosting options. During those three years Jikes was the #1 most popular project every month, often by a large margin. We approached nearly 250,000 downloads while residing at dw/oss, and had been consistently tallying triple digit daily downloads.
Release of Jikes for Linux was soon followed by requests to open up the source. Many notes and comments from users suggested this would be a good idea. The source was released under a liberal license in December 1998 to make a very visible demonstration of IBMs commitment to open standards and to Java Technology, to make Jikes more reliable and accessible, to encourage more widespread use of Java Technology, to encourage standardization of Java Technology, and to gain some experience actually running an open source project.

Ant-Eclipse is a task for the Java build tool Ant generating Eclipse projects to be just imported and used easily. Ant build scripts are used as a central place for the configuration of sources and libraries which the generated projects are based on.
The most usual way to develop a software is to write, run and debug the source code in an IDE. However, as long as the first source files are compilable the software finds its way into a package and it must be possible to compile it, run it and test it in other environments where the IDE is not available. Build tools used for this job usually cannot read the project files where IDEs store information about packages and sometimes there are more IDEs used by developers. It seems obvious that the build tool needs its own description of the package.
Keeping the package configuration on two places is more error-prone and looking for errors caused by diffrerences in these configurations can cost much time when the error occur first during the run-time of an application.
It is allways the better to keep the configuration on a single place and not to maintain its copies on more places. If there are more tools used for the development one of them should be chosen as the owner and provider of the package configuration. The others have to base ther configuration on this central one either by using it directly or by refreshing their one if the central one changes.
Which tool is the best one for keeping the package configuration? It depends on the package and the development process. The most important tool is usually the one which automates compiling packaging and running tests because it produces the final package to be delivered to end-users. This automated production usually runs unattendedly reporting results from processing the current source code base. The configuration of this tool can be taken as the source for all the others.
Ant is the most favourite build tool for projects written in the Java language. Eclipse with JDT is a state-of-the-art IDE for Java developers. Unfortunately, Eclipse cannot use Ant build scripts to base configuration of its projects on them. Ant can be run from the Eclipse IDE but the configuration is kept separately.
Ant-Eclipse automates the task of creating an Eclipse project making the developer to write an automated build script as the first thing and to generate an Eclipse project from it whenever it changes. It keeps the Eclipse project always up-to-date with the last changes in the build script. This project refreshing is usually automated when more developers are working on a software project. They have to synchronize regularly their workspace with a central source code repository to integrate changes made by the others. This usually involves:
Synchronizing the source code with a central repository.
Updating the binary dependencies (libraries) from a central depot.
Generating resources (files) dependent on the environment (time and place where it runs) like build numbers, package manifests and so on.
The regeneration of Eclipse projects fits exactly to the last phase of such sychronizing process. This is the recommended usage of the Ant-Eclipse task.
A formerly existing Eclipse project will be overwritten if a new one is to be generated. Files for an Eclipse project are not generated if they exist and they are not older than the Ant build script (the Ant build script has not been changed). This update can be forced, however.
Enhancements:
- The tool has been used for over a year, and is considered a stable version.
