Firebolt is a network protocol oriented library.

Our goal is to create a simple and well designed object oriented network library. We started this effort by being ourselves in the game developers position and facing the problem of lack of abstract enough libraries.

We dont want to make another socket abstraction framework we want to make a high level library that will be used to implement any protocol design you can think of. You can forget of socket details. Just design your server/client protocol and implement the states and events that the server and client will use. Then put your protocol logic into each state, define the possible transitions from state to state and thats it.

Among other features we will try putting our best design efforts in creating wraper code that will be used to minimize the effort to use Firebolt library in your already existing game project. It will blend with your games event system and transparently transport your game events over the network. Lets hope that we make it this far.

Also mysql server support will be available by Firebolt since databases are vital for modern online games.

Of course nothing can prevent use of Firebolt in non-game applications also, so dont worry.

CsWebmail is yet another Web mail application. The project features support for IMAP, NNTP, and SMTP, procmail, rich text mail composing, backup abilities, a Clam AntiVirus wrapper, and an intuitive GUI.
Enhancements:
- A number of critical bugs were fixed.

Siag Office project is a free office package which consists of the spreadsheet Siag, the word processor PW, the animation program Egon, the text editor XedPlus, the file manager Xfiler and the previewer Gvu.
Siag is easy to use, yet infinitely flexible through multiple embedded interpreters and a plugin mechanism that allows other programs to run inside the main document. The supported interpreters are SIOD, Guile, Tcl, and Python.
Enhancements:
- Various fixes have been made to this release to make it buildable.
- Antiword has been unbundled.
- Formatting errors have been removed from the Italian dictionary.
- A version of o3read has been bundled.

OpenDiscreteDynamicProgrammingTemplate project founds optimal constrainted parameters of a discrete controls with second order optimization template replacing Hessian with directional derivatives and backpropagation for digital filter(as neural network).

The Persistence of Vision Ray-Tracer creates three-dimensional, photo-realistic images using a rendering technique called ray-tracing. It reads in a text file containing information describing the objects and lighting in a scene and generates an image of that scene from the view point of a camera also described in the text file.
The Persistence of Vision Ray-Tracer(tm) was developed from DKBTrace 2.12 (written by David K. Buck and Aaron A. Collins) by a bunch of people (called the POV-Team?) in their spare time. The headquarters of the POV-Team is on the internet (see "Where to Find POV-Ray Files" for more details).
The POV-Ray package includes detailed instructions on using the ray-tracer and creating scenes. Many stunning scenes are included with POV-Ray so you can start creating images immediately when you get the package. These scenes can be modified so you do not have to start from scratch.
In addition to the pre-defined scenes, a large library of pre-defined shapes and materials is provided. You can include these shapes and materials in your own scenes by just including the library file name at the top of your scene file, and by using the shape or material name in your scene.
Ray-tracing is not a fast process by any means, but it produces very high quality images with realistic reflections, shading, perspective and other effects.
Ray-tracing is a rendering technique that calculates an image of a scene by simulating the way rays of light travel in the real world. However it does its job backwards. In the real world, rays of light are emitted from a light source and illuminate objects. The light reflects off of the objects or passes through transparent objects. This reflected light hits our eyes or perhaps a camera lens. Because the vast majority of rays never hit an observer, it would take forever to trace a scene.
Ray-tracing programs like POV-Ray start with their simulated camera and trace rays backwards out into the scene. The user specifies the location of the camera, light sources, and objects as well as the surface texture properties of objects, their interiors (if transparent) and any atmospheric media such as fog, haze, or fire.
For every pixel in the final image one or more viewing rays are shot from the camera, into the scene to see if it intersects with any of the objects in the scene. These "viewing rays" originate from the viewer, represented by the camera, and pass through the viewing window (representing the final image).
Every time an object is hit, the color of the surface at that point is calculated. For this purpose rays are sent backwards to each light source to determine the amount of light coming from the source. These "shadow rays" are tested to tell whether the surface point lies in shadow or not. If the surface is reflective or transparent new rays are set up and traced in order to determine the contribution of the reflected and refracted light to the final surface color.
Special features like inter-diffuse reflection (radiosity), atmospheric effects and area lights make it necessary to shoot a lot of additional rays into the scene for every pixel.
Main features:
- Easy to use scene description language.
- Large library of stunning example scene files.
- Standard include files that pre-define many shapes, colors and textures.
- Very high quality output image files (up to 48-bit color).
- 16 and 24 bit color display on many computer platforms using appropriate hardware.
- Create landscapes using smoothed height fields.
- Many camera types, including perspective, orthographic, fisheye, etc.
- Spotlights, cylindrical lights and area lights for sophisticated lighting.
- Photons for realistic, reflected and refracted, caustics. Photons also interact with media.
- Phong and specular highlighting for more realistic-looking surfaces.
- Inter-diffuse reflection (radiosity) for more realistic lighting.
- Atmospheric effects like atmosphere, ground-fog and rainbow.
- Particle media to model effects like clouds, dust, fire and steam.
- Several image file output formats including Targa, BMP (Windows only), PNG and PPM.
- Basic shape primitives such as ... spheres, boxes, quadrics, cylinders, cones, triangle and planes.
- Advanced shape primitives such as ... Tori (donuts), bezier patches, height fields (mountains), blobs, quartics, smooth triangles, text, superquadrics, surfaces of revolution, prisms, polygons, lathes, fractals, isosurfaces and the parametric object.
- Shapes can easily be combined to create new complex shapes using Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG). POV-Ray supports unions, merges, intersections and differences.
- Objects are assigned materials called textures (a texture describes the coloring and surface properties of a shape) and interior properties such as index of refraction and particle media (formerly known as "halos").
- Built-in color and normal patterns: Agate, Bozo, Bumps, Checker, Crackle, Dents, Granite, Gradient, Hexagon, Leopard, Mandel, Marble, Onion, Quilted, Ripples, Spotted, Spiral, Radial, Waves, Wood, Wrinkles and image file mapping. Or build your own pattern using functions.
- Users can create their own textures or use pre-defined textures such as ... Brass, Chrome, Copper, Gold, Silver, Stone, Wood.
- Combine textures using layering of semi-transparent textures or tiles of textures or material map files.
- Display preview of image while rendering (not available on all platforms).
- Halt and save a render part way through, and continue rendering the halted partial render later.

fig2ps is a perl script which converts xfig files to postscript or PDF, processing text with LaTeX. fig2pss primary aim is to produce documents (such as articles) with a high quality, in which the pictures are seamlessly integrated with the text (notably, the font in the figures is exactly the same as in the text).

The way to use it is simple : draw your picture with xfig, marking all text as special (there is one way to force this, look at the manual page). Then, invoke fig2ps on your xfig file. Then, you can integrate the picture in a LaTeX document by simply saying, for instance, includegraphics{file}

xcplay is a XMMS plugin which acts like an ncurses interface to XMMS. The UI is a clone of cplay, but using XMMS as a backend instead of console players, running either as a GUI-stripped daemon or on a virtual X server (Xvfb).

Advantages over cplay include seeking for many more formats, detachment, unlimited instances, and console player independence.
