Free marbles 1.0 software for linux

LMarbles is an Atomix clone with a slight change in concept. Instead of assembling molecules you create figures out of marbles. Nevertheless, the basic game play is the same: If a marble starts to move it will not stop until it hits a wall or another marble.

To make it more interesting there are obstacles like one-way streets, crumbling walls and portals.

As Marbles is meant as a puzzle game you play against a move limit and not a time limit. This way you have as much time as you need to think.

Marble is an early beta preview of the Marble Widget application which is targeted for KDE 4.
You need to install both packages: "marble" and "marble-data" to run Marble.
Marble is a generic geographical map widget that is meant to be used by KDE4 applications. It shows the earth as a sphere but doesnt make use of any hardware acceleration (No OpenGL). So although it might look similar to professional applications like Google Earth or Nasa World Wind its rather meant to be a small light weight multi purpose widget. To improve speed I decided to compile the Kubuntu packages with SSE support (-msse).
Main features:
- Marble uses a minimal free dataset that can be used offline. Currently the total amount of data that is meant to be shipped is about 5 MB.
- Marble doesnt use OpenGL or 3D hardware acceleration. It just uses Arthur as a painting backend. Extending it later on to support OpenGL as well shouldnt be hard however I dont consider that the primary focus. Depending on your hardware and the maps being displayed framerate is approximately 5-20 fps.
- Marble uses vector as well as bitmap data: Currently it uses the very old MWDB II data combined with ETOPO 2, which I will update to current SRTM soon.
- Marble displays the world map as a 3D sphere, because its more fun to use and less subject to distortion (So with regard to that its just like NASA WorldWind, Earth3D and Google Earth)
- Marble should start up almost instantly. Currently it "cold" starts fully within 2-5 seconds. On each subsequent start it takes about one second.
- Uses KML-Import to display places (Google Earths open format to store placemarks)
- Cities Down to 12000 inhabitants that you can click on using the mouse. Highest Mountains of each continent. Automatic Placemark label placement.
- Different Map Themes, Layers
- Dynamic Coordinate Grid
- Measure Tool
- Basic Wikipedia integration

databeans is a fully object oriented (not relational) persistence framework for Java, based on the use of the JavaBeans accessor methods to read and write data on disk instead of in the classes instance fields.
Main features:
- based on the use of the javabeans accessor methods to read/write data on disk in place of in the classes instance fields
- distributed (through RMI)
- transactional (with the 4 ANSI isolation levels supported)
- garbage collected (backed by an on-disk heap "heapspace")
- with persistent versions of the Collection classes
Installation:
Extract the archive into any appropriate directory on your hard drive. It will create a "databeans" directory with the following contents:
build.xml
api
[api documentation as generated by javadoc]
bin
databeans_admin
databeans_admin.bat
databeans_export
databeans_export.bat
databeans_import

The most interesting part for now is the file getting_started.txt located in the docs/ directory. It will guide you through running a sample application (which is located in the sample/ directory). That done, go on and read the manual (below) for a complete view of the products features.

Alan project is a Turing machine implementation.

Alan is an implementation of a Turing machine for educational purposes.

It was created as a programing project at the University of Aplied Sciences Rosenheim.

Features include an easy-to-use GUI and a reusable Turing Machine component. Additionally, Alan contains many example programs for the Turing machine.

wmblob shows some blobs moving around. wmblob does nothing useful, its just a toy.

Ill be honest with you. the truth is: wmblob is a totally useless program. But unlike other totally useless programs (I wont name them here, because theyre made by an enormous and rich company), it looks good and shows funny moving `blobs. Im sure youll like it.

Its a nice dockapp for WindowMaker (see `www.windowmaker.org), but its probably going to run just as well with any other window manager.

Polyester is a widget style + kwin decoration both aimed to be a good balance between eye candy and simplicity.

hardDrive is a simple KDM theme to match the hardDrive Splash Screen and Wallpaper.

Now all thats left to do is make a bootscreen.
