mod_fcgid is an Apache module that has a new process management strategy, which concentrates on reducing the number of fastcgi server, and kick out the corrupt fastcgi server as soon as possible.

Binary compatibility to mod_fastcgi
You dont need to recompile your existing fastcgi programs, what you need to do is install the module and make it work.

Strict control on process spawn
Every request handler of Apache (It may be a process, or a thread, depending on the MPM) knows about how many existing fastcgi servers are running (with the help of share memory) , and the request handlers collaborate with each other to make sure over-spawning is not going to happen.

Simple spawning-speed control strategy
Its a score-based strategy, the score increases while a process is spawned or terminated, and decreases as time progresses;while the score is higher than the score maximum,the spawning will be held. Thus it can make a prompt response to the requests especially when the system starts up: on the other hand, prevent the failure resulted from the immediate termination of the applications.

Fastcgi server error detection
The fastcgi server does not share the same UNIX domain socket (or named pipe, in Windows), every fastcgi server has a unique path listening on. That makes it easy to kick out the corrupt fastcgi server.

Portable
Use the Apache APR library as much as possible, and split the portable and un-portable source code. All un-portable code are organized in arch directory. Now the module is tested on Linux, FreeBSD( included in FreeBSD port now), Windows 2000 and Solaris.

PHP supported
PHP is NOT recommended to work with multithreaded Apache2(worker MPM and WinNT MPM, for example), because some PHP extensions( or 3rd party library they are using) are not guaranteed thread-safe. PHP running with FastCGI mode is a solution to this problem.

Slingshot is a two dimensional, turn based simulation-strategy game set in the gravity fields of several planets. It is a highly addictive game, and never the same from round to round due to its randomly generated playing fields.

It is a deceptively simple game, the goal is to shoot the other spacecraft through the field of planets, but their gravity makes it tricky. The effects of the gravity mean that although its easy to learn how to play, and to enjoy playing, it could take a lifetime to thoroughly master.

In order to hit your opponent, you can rotate you ship to aim in any direction, and you can change the power with which your projectile is launched - the initial speed at which it flies.
