Free modern talking software for linux

Modular Google Talk Bot (gtalkbot) is a modular bot system for Google Talk and other Jabber IM networks.

It uses simple Python plug-ins that register verbs, which appear as the first word of an IM and result in another IM being sent back to the user. An example MythTV bot is included.

To run mbot:

- Write a plugin! There is a sample on in plugins/mythbot.py
- Create a password file at /usr/local/share/mbot/passwd

The format is:

< username >< tab >< password >

For example:

exampleuser@gmail.com banana

- Create a jabber or Google Talk account for the bot
- Start up mbot:

./mbot plugins < botaccount >@gmail.com < botpassword >

- Now you can IM the bot account, and off you go. Youll need to start off with a "auth < password >" to login to the bot

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.

TALK is a strictly and statically typed assembly language that is flexible and powerful enough to write operating system kernels.

For example, memory management (i.e. malloc/free) and multi-thread management can be implemented in TALK.
