Free layers of the earth software for linux

King of the Hill project is a full client/server multiplayer artillery game in the scorched earth tradition.
King of the Hill (KOTH) is an artillery game in the grand old tradition of little tanks with ridiculously powerful weapons trying to blow each other up while trying to avoid getting blown up themselves.
Koth features LibGGI for fast portable graphics, full client/server multiplayer, a few cool weapons, in-game chat, and nice terrain generation algorithm.
Open source in the hopes that others will help out and make this a really great game.
Main features:
- Supports up to ten players at once, with unlimited observers (ten only because beyond that the game would get unwieldy, not an architectural limitation)
- Players can join and leave at any time without disrupting the game
- Pregame and In-game color-coded chat
- Buy and sell various types of neat weapons to use against your enemies
- Fractal-tessalation terrain generating algorithm produces endless variations of interesting terrain (before you start blowing massing craters into it that is
- Falling dirt and falling damage to tanks
- Lightweight, asynchronous networking protocol - perfectly playable on a modem over the Internet even with high pingtime
- LibGGI for portable graphics. Currently supports 8/15/16/24/32 bits per pixel in any resolution
- Free software so anyone can and is encouraged to add in their own favorite weapons, equipment, and other features.
Enhancements:
- kick (through server console)
- new weapons: black hole, laser, dirt curtain, dirt vaporizer and depth charge
- infinite number of observers
- new status area in battle window (nickname/armor/shield)
- readiness indication in pregame
- new "who already fired" ingame bar
- bugfixes and other misc changes (weapons price, power, behavior etc)
- weapons name in death messages
- New explosions
- Koth is now playable on fast computers (sleep in animations)

SYNOPSIS

#####
# Subroutines
#
use Tie::Layers qw(is_handle config);

$yes = is_handle( $file_handle );

($key, $old_value) = config(%options, $key);
($key, $old_value) = config(%options, $key => $new_value );

####
# Config default startup options
#
@old_options_list = config(%options, @option_list);
@old_options_list = config(%options, @option_list);
@old_options_list = config(%options, %option_list);

#####
# Class interface
#
require Tie::Layers;

#####
# Using support methods and file handle with
# the file subroutines such as open(), readline()
# print(), close()
#
tie *LAYERS_FILEHANDLE, Tie::Layers, @options
$layers = tied *LAYERS_FILEHANDLE;


#####
# Using support methods only, no file subroutines
#
$layers = Tie::Layers->TIEHANDLE(@options);

($key, $old_value) = $layers->config($key);
($key, $old_value) = $layers->config($key => $new_value );

@old_options_list = $layers->config(@option_list);
@old_options_list = $layers->config(@option_list);
@old_options_list = $layers->config(%option_list);

$data = $layers->fin($filename, @options);

$data = $layers->fout($filename, $data, @options);

$yes = $layers->is_handle( $file_handle );

If a subroutine or method will process a list of options, @options, that subroutine will also process an array reference, @options, [@options], or hash reference, %options, {@options}.

The Tie::Layers program module contains the tie file handle Tie::Layers package. The Tie::Layers package provides the ability to insert a stack of subroutines between file subroutines print and realine and the underlying $file. The syntax of the subroutines of each layer of the readline stack and the print stack must comply to the the requirements described herein below.

This is necessary so that the Tie::Layers READLINE and PRINT subroutines know how to transfer the output from one layer to the input of another layer. The stacks are setup by supplying options with a reference to the subroutine for each layer in the print stack and the readline stack. The Tie::Layers are line orientated and do not support any character file subrouintes.

The getc, read, and write file subroutines are supported by the Tie::Layers package. The seek routines are line oriented in that the seek and tell subroutine positions are the line in the underlying file and not the character position in the file.

The layer extract plug-in is a Gimp plug-in that creates a new image/film by periodically extracting layers from another image.

It takes one interval (number of sequent layers) every period. The number of periods can be limited.

PyEphem project provides scientific-grade astronomical computations for the Python programming language.
Given an arbitrary date and location on Earth, it can compute the positions of the sun, moon, and planets as well as any asteroids, comets, or earth satellites whose orbital elements the user can provide.
There are additional functions for computing the angular separation between two objects in the sky, determining the constellation in which an object lies, and finding the times at which an object rises, transits, and sets on a particular day.
Enhancements:
- PyEphem should now compile cleanly under Windows.
- The underlying astronomy library has also been upgraded to the latest version.

Lua-Sqlite3 project is a binding of Sqlite3 for Lua.
Lua-Sqlite3 is unique in contrast to other database bindings that it consists of two layers.
The first layer translates the SQLite 3 implementations C API to Lua. The first layer is called the backend.
The second layers are frontend layers, written in Lua. These layers provide a nice and smart view of the database
Currently, Lua-Sqlite3 implements two frontends:
- A specialiced frontend which provides all sqlite3 capabilities.
- A LuaSQL compatible frontend as used on the Kepler Project.
Enhancements:
- Lua 5.1 support was added, and 5.0 is still supported.
- An autoconf configure script is provided.
