Free knights of labor software for linux

KnightFight is a Java-based game in which you, the Bronze Knight, must take on the Black Knight in battle. Complete with goofy Pythonesque sound clips, it is intended as a parody of Street Fighter/Mortal Kombat-type games.

KnightFight is a fun game which I made in a period of three days. KnightFight project was intended as a joke, as evident from the goofy sound clips and lousy graphics, but I found it to be fun and addictive, so I released it. I may release a better-designed sequel in the future.

Rigs of Rods is a truck simulator based on soft body physics.
Rigs of Rods is a simulation game based on a custom advanced soft body physics engine.
In a vast open world, you can drive trucks, control cranes and fly airplanes. The chassis and wheels deform according to the stress they bear, and crashes are interesting to see too!
The linux version is still a release candidate under compatibility testing.
The main issue is that it is compiled with a GCC 4.1.1 compiler, and there are many incompatible C++ ABI out there. So it will probably work on a gcc 4.1.1 system, and break on a gcc 3.4 or 3.6 system. I dont know if there is an easy fix to that. Be aware that upgrading your gcc may break badly your system if not done correctly, so do it at your own risk.
Also, if you see the config box, but the game crashes, check the sanity of your GLX system first (test with another GLX program) because it breaks easily. It works with NVidia drivers, but I have not tested the ATI ones.
Read the README.LINUX file for more important informations.
Enhancements:
- Boats, with a small wahoo, a Class 1 speedboat contributed by cdquicksilver, and a very large high sea tug, the Smit Rotterdam, that has a rollable platform.
- A new terrain, called "island", that is still under construction but that will soon replace the two classic RoR terrains, because they are not realistic islands.
- Infinite sea with waves. Take the Smit and sail far from the island: you will encounter high swells offshore. You can even configure the wave fields (see the datawavefield.cfg file).
- A separate configurator program. Now you must start the RoRconfig program first, to choose your configuration options, save them, then start RoR.
- Serious bugfixing: camera shaking has been dramatically reduced, and the "crash on plane crash" problem is mostly eliminated.
- Addition of the Challenger car contributed by hemicuda.

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

Memories of Mordor project is a light multi-level game with its own OO gaming library.
Memories of Mordor is a light, 2D multi-level game that contains its own easy-to-use and extend OO Java game programming library. It has no dependencies on other libraries.
You are entering Mordor, a land filled with horridish Orcs and other evilly creatures and characters, hungry for human blood. A land whose dark memories will haunt you for many lives to come.
The long journey from the Shire has exhausted you. The ring weighs you down.
You must find the way through, if you wish to succeed in saving Middle Earth. You must battle the creatures using whatever weapons you find around you.
Enhancements:
- Blood on tiles and dead bodies were blocking gun fire.

The Eye Of Horus is a monitoring and alerting tool for computers. Its mainly useful for monitoring network services (eg, HTTP or SMTP servers) and the internal status of Unix servers (eg, load, disk usage, process counts).

In that respect, its a lot like Nagios, but in my opinion its better. It lacks a few features Nagios has, but it is a very simple architecture to which they can easily be added.

Its a flexible thing made from independent modules with well-defined interfaces, making it easy to customise and extend, but out of the box itll monitor your servers and produce a nice HTML summary of their status - OK, the looks need a bit of work, but that will come soon, and it can optionally integrate with the excellent (and I mean excellent) RRDTool to store logs of statistics (response times, number of packages with known security holes, etc) - and link from the status page to nice graphs of the historical behaviour of these statistics.

HOW IT WORKS

The core of the system is horus-check.py, a Python script which reads a configuration file (specified on the command line). The configuration file specifies a list of services - either network services, in which case the host to run the check from and the host to run the check at are specified, or local services, in which case only the host to run the check from need be specified. In either case, if the host to run the check from is not specified, then it defaults to the local host.

The service types reference definitions in a file which is referenced from the configuration file. In the service definitions file, a shell command to check the service is given; this command must output service status in a defined format, as a single-line YAML list. The list must contain, at least, a single-word status (OK, WARNING, FAILURE, or UNKNOWN), then optionally numeric statistics, then optionally a status message. For example:

[OK]
[UNKNOWN]
[OK, { load: 0.5, users: 3 }]
[WARNING, { load: 3, users: 30 }]
[FAILURE, { load: 95, users: 300 }]
[UNKNOWN, { }, Could not find AWK executable]

When a check is to be performed from a remote host, Horus opens an ssh connection to that host. It is assumed that the user horus is run as will have an ssh key set up to enable it to ssh to all such hosts without requiring a password.

Having performed the checks, horus-check.py then:

Reads in the status database named in the configuration file
Updates the status database with the new status of hosts
Computes an overall system status (the worst non-unknown status of any checked service)
Examines the service dependencies, and marks any service whose state is no worse than might be expected (eg, no worse than the worst state of a service it depends upon) are automatically marked as quiet
Computes a list of differences between the old and new status (services added, services removed, services whose status has improved, services whose status has worsened)
If there are any differences, invokes a notification script (named in the configuration file) with them, along with the overall status
Invokes a logging script (named in the configuration file) with the new value of every statistic reported by the service checks; I will soon provide a sample logging script that uses RRDTool to generate nice graphs.

The status database (which is written in YAML, so easily accessible to user scripts) can then be used to generate HTML status report (see status.cgi).
