Free jnc vii software for linux

JavaNativeCompiler (JNC) is a Java to native compiler. The project allows AOT (ahead of time) compilation of your Java applications. With JNC, you can create real standalone native binaries (.exe on Windows) which will no longer depend on a JRE.
This is especially useful when applications have to be deployed to end-users. All vexatious problems of deploying Java applications can be solved by compiling them to native. They will be:
- Easy to deploy
No JRE dependency. Most end-users dont know what they have installed.
No more problems on how to create an executable file out of a JAR or class file.
- Hard to decompile
Java can easily be decompiled. Native compilation will protect your source code.
- Run fast from the start
No more overhead for loading a JRE.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes a couple of problems with AWT/Swing and XML.
- It also once again contains a version for Linux.
- The compiler binary downloads are smaller.

Pentagram projects goal is to create an Ultima VIII engine.

Pentagram is a game engine for running Ultima VIII on modern operating systems. Since a modified version of the Ultima VIII engine also powered the two Crusader games (Crusader: No Remorse and Crusader: No Regret) the teams ultimate goal is to be able to run those two as well.

For those not familiar with the game: you are playing the role of the Avatar who already several times saved the worlds from evil forces in Ultima I-VII, but now you are thrown into the unknown world, which is already destroyed by those forces and you should explore it and find out the way to defeat the evil yet another time.

On your way you will find many friends and foes including undead creatures, giant spiders and trolls, talk to local people and solve many mysteries and puzzles.

Fityk project is a general-purpose nonlinear curve fitting and data analysis software.
Although it is being developed to analyze powder diffraction patterns, it can be used to fit analytical functions to any kind of data: crystallographic module is an independent part of the program. Apart from crystallography fityk is reported to be used also in chromatography, photoluminescence, infrared and Raman spectroscopy, and in other fields.
At present fityk knows only about common peak-shaped functions (Gaussian, Lorentzian, Voigt, Pearson VII etc.) and polynomial. User-defined functions will be implemented in 2005.
In terms of powder diffraction fityk will fit the data with a set of position-correlated peaks to give the refined lattice parameters, zero-shift, sample displacement and wavelength.
Fityk offers everything a decent refinement program should offer but first of all intuitive graphical interface. Apart from the standard Marquardt least-square algorithm one may choose a genetic algorithm or Nelder-Mead simplex method for complex or unstable cases.
Fityk already works under Linux, Windows and MacOS X and can in principle be ported to other systems because its GUI is written with a portable wxWidgets library. And it is free software (GPL).
Main features:
- It is the heart of the program - finding minimum of weigthed sum of squared residuals, in other words - fitting function to data. Nonlinear fitting is a difficult problem, and there is no perfect solution. Fityk offers three well-known algorithms: Levenberg-Marquard gradient-based method, Nelder-Mead downhill simplex method and Genetic Algorithms. Every of these methods has a set of adjustable parameters, for greater flexibility.
- Data - a set of (x, y) points, can be read from text file, or from file in one of other supported formats. When loading data, you can read standard deviations of y s, if given, read only selected points (eg. first thousend, or every third point) or merge neighbouring points, to reduce noise. In every moment you can activate or disactivate selected points (disactivated points are not subject to fitting) or change standard deviation.
- Fitted curve is given as a sum of functions. All functions are given by parametrized formulae, eg. function of gaussian type has such parameters like height or position of center. Availaible functions are: gaussian, lorenzian, pearson VII, voigt, pseudo-voigt and fifth-order polynomial.
- Every parameter of function is given as a constans or as a variable or as a function of other parameters. First case is clear. In second case value of the variable can be adjusted when fitting. Optionally also domain of the variable can be given. In last case, the parameter can be given in terms of other parameters, eg. as a multiplication of constant and variable parameters.
- Background (baseline) may be obtained as linear or spline interpolation of points selected by the user or as a background function, that optionally can be fitted. Currently the only function suitable for background is a polynomial.
- There are two ways of dealing with error in x s. First requires specifying displacements of x in points, where it is known - program will interpolate it to the rest of points. Second assumes that the source of displacements is known and given by a zero-shift functions, which can be fitted.
- All commands, that are changing anything, what can influence further run of the program (eg. adding baseline, but not displaying help), can be logged to file. This is one of the ways to obtain a script, that can be edited and reused. Using scripts can save a lot of work, eg. it is possible to write scripts that will fit a series of data files and output results.
- The crystallographic module of the program enables easy adding peaks, that represents Bragg reflections. It is assumed that analyzed data points are intensities in function of 2theta, typically from X-ray diffraction. User have to define phases (lattice parameters), wavelengths with their relative intensities and which hkl s are present. Optionally, width and shape parameters can be constrained, using formulae taken from DBWS program.
- Fityk is written in C++. The program (GUI) can run on most Unix species with GTK+, on MS Windows and MacOS X. Ports to other platforms supported by wxWidgets library are also possible.
- The program comes in two versions: GUI (Graphical User Interface) version - more comfortable in most cases, and CLI (Command Line Interface) version (named cfityk to differentiate) - used only in special situations, when visualisation is not essential and user prefers to use a text terminal.
- There is a mailing list where everyone can ask a question. You can also write directly to programs author, although usually its better to use the mailing list. Asking for a change in fityk or for new feature will usually result in putting the request on TODO list or, if it is already on TODO list, in assigning higher priority to it.
- It is free software; you can redistribute and modify it under the terms of GNU General Public License. There is NO warranty.
Enhancements:
- The Shirley background correction procedure was implemented.
- A few bugs were fixed.

Labyrinth of Worlds project is an Ultima Underworld II rewrite.
LoW is a rewrite of the first-person role-playing game Ultima Underworld II: Labyrinth of Worlds that came out in the early 1990s. One of the most celebrated game of its genre, this rewrite attempts to recapture the minutiae and spirit of the original.
At the moment, the tech demo allows you to walk (and jump) around all the Underworld II levels and worlds, has all NPCs and most monsters. You also get to see and manipulate all the dynamic objects of the game, and peek inside containers. The paperdoll has been implemented, too, and lets you access your inventory as well as wear/wield armor and weapons.
It is now possible to converse with the various NPCs. While not all the conversations work correctly (or at all) most do for the most part and it is now possible to actually understand the storyline. :) NPCs are also able to give items, now.
Another worthy project you might want to go take a look at is Underworld Adventures which seeks to recreate the first installement of that series and is doing a darn good job of it.
If you are an Ultima VII fan, then Exult is going to tickle you pink! The freshly released version 1.0 will allow you to play Black Gate and Serpent Isle with the addons on modern architectures, with a few gameplay improvements to boot!
Enhancements:
- Fixed executables
- new gameplay features, including wearable items
- improved user interface
- performance improvements
- more complete conversation support (including being given items),
- working keys and locks
