Snoopy vs. the Red Baron 1.0
Snoopy vs. the Red Baron is an open-source one/two player combat game, available for Mac OS X, Linux, BeOS, QNX and Windows. more>>
The original Snoopy was a tiny game for the Apple Macintosh, with black and white graphics, but already almost all the levels of the new Snoopy/SDL were implemented.
Snoopy could be played by two opponents, sharing a single screen and keyboard, and although it had poor graphics and tough controls, we very much liked to play it.
While we learned programming, we constantly sought for simple, yet interesting projects. If you have ever tried to learn a new language or API, you will have recognized that the simplest way in mastering the stuff is simply reprogramming an existing application, without losing much thought on design and originality.
So my friend reprogrammed Snoopy, in Object Pascal, using SAT, the Sprite Animation Toolkit, on his Classic II. That version of Snoopy features a fully functional AI, network play, but only the first level ( weapons drop).
While he was at it, he also implemented a "missing feature", the bombs, for which there where graphics and sounds in the game, but which could not be thrown.
When I discovered SDL, I recognized that it would be ideal for the job. Running on Windows, Linux, MacOS, BeOS and many other platforms, it is my new toolkit of choice for multimedia programming. It took us several weeks to port Snoopy (besides going to school, but now the work is almost done, with only the finishing touches to be made.
I can only encourage everyone to try SDL; it is really easy and portable (if worked right).
SmartSplitter 1.3
SmartSplitter is a cross-platform open-source control splitter class for REALbasic 5 or greater. more>>
SmartSplitter can automatically attach nearby controls thus achieving full functionality with NO coding and NO binding! SmartSplitter is developed for and tested on Linux, Mac OS 9, Mac OS X, and Windows 98/2000/XP.
SmartSplitter began like so many other classes do - as a simple crappy class in an early crappy project. But as I used this divider thingy in more of my projects, I gradually added in smarts until so great the intellect of this amazing class, I felt obliged to spend the extra effort to simplify it, clean it up, and make it more accessible.
The SmartSplitter class is provided free for all to use. However, I do maintain ownership of SmartSplitter. You are free to redistribute the source code. If you distribute it as a standalone class, please include this documentation with it. If you distribute source code containing SmartSplitter, you do not need to include this documentation. There is no requirement to credit me in your program for using SmartSplitter.
Enhancements:
- Fixed control smarts to handle embeded control resize change in REALbasic 2005
- Added logic to handle invisible attached controls
- (Use new subroutine setAttachedControlNormallyVisible to alert SmartSplitter if an attached control changes visibility)
- Using DisableLiveDrag looks MUCH better
- Fixed a Win32 "expanding" handle refresh problem

RSSOwl | RSS / RDF / Atom Newsreader - RSSOwl is a free RSS / RDF / Atom Newsreader written in Java using SWT as graphic library.
RSS ("Really Simple Syndication" or "Rich Site Summary") is a document specification
that gives users the power to collect and organize Web-based news and information in
a more efficient manner. Applications that collect data from RSS-compliant sites are
called RSS readers or "aggregators". RSSOwl is such an application. It lets you gather,
organize, update, and store information from any compliant source in a convenient, easy
to use interface, save selected information in various formats for offline viewing and
sharing, and much more.
Why "Owl"? The owl is a traditional symbol of wisdom, and a quiet, efficient hunter. Youll find
RSSOwls "big eyes" a big help when scanning the Webs vast array of RSS resources.
Top12 Features why you should use RSSOwl:
o High performance and native Look and Feel that uses the operation-system GUI theme
o Great platform support: Use RSSOwl on Windows, Linux, Mac, Solaris
o Import/Export newsfeeds with OPML (Outline Processor Markup Language)
o Generate PDF/RTF/HTML documents from any news
o Use drag and drop to manage your favorites in unlimited nested categories
o Loaded newsfeeds are automatically stored in an archive to read them while being offline
o Powerfull, integrated Newsfeed searchengine
o Perform a fulltext-search with result-syntaxhighlight
o AmphetaRate integration to rate news and receive recommendations
o RSSOwl is highly customizable (set Fonts, Hotkeys, Language,...)
o Display news in the internal browser
o Big Tutorial and FAQ to help you manage your new newsreader
Supported Languages: 27 (English, Russian, Chinese, German and much more).
RSSOwl comes with a huge list of sample favorites.
RSSOwl runs on Windows (98/ME/NT/2000/XP), Linux (GTK2), Mac OS X and Solaris.
Enhancements:
Version 1.2.4
The RSSOwl Team is happy to announce that RSSOwl 1.2.4 is now available for download. Among minor new features and a couple of bugfixes, this release comes with better support for Windows Vista, the ability to use Mozilla as embedded Browser on Windows and some improvements to the embedded Browser on Mac OS X. See the changelog for a complete list of changes.
For a detailed list of changes that also include a lot of bugfixes, take a look at the changelog at http://www.rssowl.org/CHANGELOG.txt.
If you want to benefit from many new cool features, you should give RSSOwl 2 a try. Its currently in beta stadium but already fully functional. Visit http://boreal.rssowl.org for more details.
May the Owl be with you,
Ben
Version 1.1.2
We are happy to announce the second bugfix-release for the 1.1 branch. With an update to the latest SWT
version, two of the most annoying Browser bugs on windows got fixed. Say goodbye to the dialog that kept
popping up, in case the visited webpage contained erroneous JavaScript. The other bugfix helps for Blogs
that show images in their Newsitems. In some cases, RSSOwl showed just a blank, empty page when clicking
on one of these.
On the feature side, RSSOwl 1.1.2 is bringing two new update intervals: 30 Minutes and 6 Hours.
In addition it is now possible to hide the small Toolbar that is placed in the Favorites Tree by accessing
its context-menu and unchecking the "Toolbar" entry.
See the Changelog at http://www.rssowl.org/CHANGELOG.txt for a complete list of changes.
May the Owl be with you,
Ben

Imageview 5.0
Imageview project consists in a 3rd generation image gallery script. more>>
Imageview 5 is a 3rd generation image gallery script, the main idea behind it was to create a easy to use script to show your pictures to your friends.

Mac::PropertyList 1.29
Mac::PropertyList is a Perl module to work with Mac plists at a low level. more>>
SYNOPSIS
use Mac::PropertyList;
my $data = parse_plist( $text );
# == OR ==
my $data = parse_plist_file( $filename );
# == OR ==
open my( $fh ), $filename or die "...";
my $data = parse_plist_fh( $fh );
my $text = plist_as_string( $data );
my $plist = create_from_hash( %hash );
my $plist = create_from_array( @array );
my $plist = Mac::PropertyList::dict->new( %hash );
This module is a low-level interface to the Mac OS X Property List (plist) format. You probably shouldnt use this in applications---build interfaces on top of this so you dont have to put all the heinous multi-level object stuff where people have to look at it.
You can parse a plist file and get back a data structure. You can take that data structure and get back the plist as XML. If you want to change the structure inbetween thats your business.
You dont need to be on Mac OS X to use this. It simply parses and manipulates a text format that Mac OS X uses.
Enhancements:
- Perl
CrissCross 0.6.5
CrissCross is a small cross-platform C++ library for threading, console and file I/O, CPU identification (CPUID). more>>
The main goal is to provide the ability to write a program using identical calls on the major platforms (Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and Mac OS X) without needing to rewrite code.
CoreCPUID is only currently supported on IA-32 (x86) processors. There is also theoretical support for IA-64 and x64 processors in 64-bit mode, but only 32-bit mode has been tested.
Enhancements:
- CrissCross::Data::Compare now can compare C-style strings.
- x64 target added for Visual Studio 2005 projects.
- New crisscross/crisscross.h added which basically includes every common CrissCross header.
- RedBlackTree now works with char* string keys.
- No longer needlessly recompiles on Mac OS X (build_number.h regeneration caused a recompile).
- QuickSort::Sort is now marked deprecated with _CC_DEPRECATE_SLOW as a warning to those who use it.
- CoreIOWriter had a few functions which had std::string passed by value rather than by reference.
- DStack::peek() function added.
- FastestSort and MemoryEfficientSort aliases added by request.
- BTree alias for RedBlackTree added.
- Cleaned data structure function names a bit (getData() is now simply get(), etc).
- Added compatibility with Tosser data structure library, allowing CrissCross to be used with the Onlink project.
- Added XCrashReports support for release builds.
- _CC_DEPRECATE_SLOW changed for Windows builds to indicate severity of the slowdown.
- Improved speed and size of CoreAssert and made it more CrissCross-like for its stderr output.
- Major time-critical Stopwatch functions are now inlined (Start/Stop functions).
- Corrected an error with ThreadSleep which caused it to sleep forever if a value less than zero was passed to it.
- crisscross/sort.h is now all that needs to be included for use of CombSort, QuickSort, and HeapSort.
- Disabled core/thread detection in CPUID, because of varying results (cant yet interpret what they mean.
- Added a few more cache descriptors to CPUID (Core 2 related ones).

AllInOneRuby 0.2.11
AllInOneRuby creates a compressed executable for Windows, Linux or Mac OS X. more>>
A "just-in-time and temporary installation of Ruby"...
Because of the gathering of files from your own Ruby installation, AllInOneRuby creates an executable for the platform its being run on. No cross compile.
And when I say Windows, I mean both Windows (RubyInstaller, MinGW and MSWin32) and Cygwin. But the generated exe under Cygwin is very, very big, because its exes are very big (static?) and it includes cygwin1.dll, so it can run on machines without Cygwin.
Whats the difference between RubyScript2Exe and AllInOneRuby? Well, RubyScript2Exe includes an application (your script) and only parts of the rubylib tree (its stripped specifically for that application).
AllInOneRuby contains a complete Ruby installation: it includes no application, but it does include the complete rubylib tree. You can use allinoneruby.exe like ruby.exe (Windows) and allinoneruby_* like ruby (Linux, Darwin) thats already installed on your system. In other words: the executable, generated with RubyScript2Exe, is an application; the one generated with AllInOneRuby "is" Ruby.
Enhancements:
- "Insecure world writable dir" has been removed.
