Free is pluto a planet software for linux

RSS-Planet is a custom marker file generator for xplanet which uses RSS feeds from news websites to plot the current headlines on a world map.

By default, Yahoo! News and CNN.com are supported, but other feeds that point to articles with easily-discoverable place names (such as the Washington Post) should work as well.

Pluto is the Reference Implementation of the Java Portlet Specfication. The current version of this specification is JSR 168.
Portlets are designed to run in the context of a portal. They are written to the Portlet API which are similar to the Servlet API.
In contrast to servlets, portlets may not do things like sending redirects or errors to browsers directly, forwarding requests or writing arbitrary markup to the output stream to assure that they don?t distract the portal web application which uses them.
Another difference compared to servlets is that portlets rely on portal specific infrastructure functions such as access to user profile information, standard interface for storing/retrieving persistent settings, getting client information, etc. Generally,
portlets are administrated more dynamically than servlets typically are.
A portlet container provides a runtime environment for portlets implemented according to the Portlet API. In this environment portlets can be instantiated, used and finally destroyed. The portlet container is not a stand-alone container like the servlet container; instead it is implemented as a thin layer on top of the servlet container and reuses the functionality provided by the servlet container.
Pluto serves as portlet container that implements the Portlet API and offers developers a working example platform from which they can test their portlets. However, its cumbersome to execute and test the portlet container without a driver, in this case, the portal.
Plutos simple portal component is built only on the portlet containers and the JSR 168s requirements. (In contrast, the more sophisticated, Jetspeed project concentrates on the portal itself rather than the portlet container, and considers requirements from other groups.)
Enhancements:
- Added Pluto 1.1 index page and basic documentation
- PLUTO 164: response contentType can change after getWriter()
- PLUTO 155: URL encoding in pluto 1.0.1-RC4 issue when using apache with jk2
- PLUTO 157: portlet.tld taglib is using jsp version 1.1. JSR168 spec requires JSP version 1.2
- PLUTO 152: Support maven deployment to a remote repository
- PLUTO 130: portlet:namespace fails inside JSTL c:set
- PLUTO-107: Admin portlet fails to add page. Hot deployment now supported.
- PLUTO-92: Deployer strips elements from web.xml (Deploy War Portlet)

The purpose of Planets 3D is to show a simulation of our solar system. The focus lies on a nice graphic (3D OpenGL) and the possibility to modify the objects of the solar system to see what happens.
This program is written on Linux using C++. In theory it should be portable to windows, because Ive used only plattform independent libraries. Anyone who tries to port it please contact me even if unsuccessful, perhaps I can help overcome arising errors.
By now there is included a small program which converts different coordinate systems into each other. It is called Astroconvert.
Main features:
- simulate the development of the solar system based on calculations of the gravity power
- take screenshots
- load and save solar systems
- modify solarsystem
- switch between different cameras to view the solar system (e.g. look through a shuttle window)

Global Village project is a gnome application designed to place a front-end, or graphical user interface onto the CLI interface of Xplanet, by Hari Nair.
Originally intended to create and update the desktop wallpaper in a gnome environment, showing a traditional rectangular projection of the planet Earth, the scope of the project has been expanded. Global Village now provides as many of the features of Xplanet as seem reasonable, and with the ability for plugins the scope is nearly limitless. But do take it with a grain of salt...
Current Status
Currently, Global Village is barely functional. It can be considered in the pre-alpha stage of development.
It can currently show a preview of the final image, and then display that image on the desktop at user specified intervals (in seconds), and has an icon in the notification area of the Gnome panel.
Plugins are semi-working, but undergoing a lot of change as I decide what they do adn dont need to be capable of. The idea is that plugins will manage all the extra features users require, like cloudmaps, marker and arc files.
Main features:
- Select a planet.
- Select a projection.
- Bodys North Type.
- Rotate the bodys North Pole
- The Zoom level
- The Suns glare
- Latitude and Longitude, which can be set as:
- North Pole
- South Pole
- Equator
- Random Latitude and Longitude
- Or any number of user configerable locations.

The Ark Roleplaying Kernel project is a 3D multiplayer roleplaying engine.

The Ark Roleplaying Kernel is a roleplaying engine that will allow game developers to create a full- featured role playing game, without having to write a single line of C++. All they have to do is to create game data (models, textures, world), and define the behaviour NPCs, in Lua. The engine contains a full outdoor 3D engine, with support for skeletal animation, and triangle- accurate collision detection. It also contains tools to create world and quests, and loaders for the most common low-polygon 3D formats.

After an never-ending war which had begun because of the arrival of the daphyrings (insect-like creatures) which some humans feared, the planet sank bit by bit into a Middle-Age-like ignorance. From the bits of a rich and united nation were born numerous empires ever waging war between themselves. Humans having forgotten all their knowledge use the seldom-found devices of the ancient civilization such as magical artifacts, for they now know only how to forge old-fashioned weapons such as swords, axes, bows...

Fauna and flora themselves have been modified, because of the cataclysms (nuclear incidents) which occurred during the Great War. These accidents have also divided humans into many clans yet having a common religion. It is in this world, named Arkhart, that the game named for the moment ArkhartRPG (ah, such originality!) takes place.

PlanetGenesis is a Java program designed to produce models of planets and landscapes.

A little like Mojoworld but free (as in beer and speech) and no where near as good.

PlanetGenesis produces:

- 16bit greyscale bitmaps.
- Wavefront format objects.
- POV-RAY 3.5 mesh2 meshs.
- Terragen terrains.

based on pseudo-random noise. Which can be used in 3D rendering sofware.

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!
