Free pipe dreams software for linux

Dreams Eternal project is a story-driven FPS game that is set in the dream world.

Dreams Eternal is an FPS game that focuses on a strong story line and puzzle solving. It is set in the dream world.

The very short summary of the story is that a scientific experiment went wrong and everybody is stuck in the dream world.

You have to end this experiment by hopping from dream to dream. In every dream you have to find clues to try to find out how the experiment can be aborted.

xmmspipe is a plugin for XMMS that enables it to be controlled by sending strings to a named pipe (FIFO). When you enable the plugin, XMMS can be commanded by sending strings to $HOME/.xmms/inpipe, for example,
echo play_pause > ~/.xmms/inpipe
will cause XMMS to pause or play.
Since version 0.5.0, it is possible to setup an output pipe, and query XMMS for information. For example, sending "report title" to the input pipe will cause the current songs title to be printed on the output pipe.
Included is a demo program called "fade", that shows how to use the plugin to fade the current song and advance to the next one. It requires the output pipe to be be enabled (via the Config window).
The Infopipe plugin does output pipes a little differently.
When I first wrote this plugin, I didnt know about other programs that I couldve used to control XMMS with shell scripts, such as xmmsctrl or xmms-shell. However, Ive kept xmmspipe alive because pipes may be preferable in some situations:
The pipe automatically inherits the security features of the underlying filesystem (e.g. you could change its permissions so that only users of a particular group can control XMMS).
In many programming languages, writing to a pipe is easier than executing programs, making it easier to build programs to control XMMS.
The plugin can call internal XMMS functions which means it can have more functionality than programs relying on the xmms_remote_* functions alone. For example, XMMSPipe can load/save playlists.
Sometimes I think XMMS itself should just be an MP3-playing daemon that interfaces with the outside world exclusively through pipes (one for input, at least one for output). This would allow a lot more flexibility, e.g. the GUI could be arbitrary and playlists could be managed by an external program. (It would work in the same way gkrellm works with files in /proc.) Also, the code would be simpler because it only has to worry about reading various audio formats and playing them. It wouldnt have to deal with window managers, X, etc.
Enhancements:
- Added playlist_move command due to Graeme Yeo

PAIP (pipe) is a universal filter application. It uses plugins to transmit and convert data. They can be nested, so the inner structures can become quite complex (non-linear). The command-line interface is similar to a programming language and very easy.
You will need:
gcc & GNU make
GNU sed
GNU install
libdl
libpthread
In three steps you can install it:
1) ./configure
Enter the destination path on prompt.
Just pressing will set the default path /usr/local.
2) make
3) make install
Enhancements:
- fixed Makefiles
- extended plugin socket (connections-switch)
- new using-plugin jpg2bmp
- new using-plugin gif2bmp

PipeBandwidth is a program that measures the speed at which data goes through a pipe and prints statistics to stderr.

Basically, it just reads from stdin, writes data back to stdout, and measures the speed. PipeBandwidth can be useful to measure transfer rates while sending data through netcat or compressing with gzip or bzip2.

XMMS InfoPipe is a plugin that reports XMMS status via named pipe. XMMS InfoPipe is handy if you want to add interesting real-time information for a personal web page, or a web cam page.

While theres a possibility of setting up programs to be executed by XMMS when changing songs, XMMS InfoPipe provides better introspection: You can get information on song position, song length, playlist position, status (stopped/playing/paused), song title as displayed by XMMS, and file name. The information is reported in easily parseable textual format.

The possibilities for information use are limitless. So far, here are some of the things people have been using InfoPipe for:

Showing information of XMMS on home page, webcam page, or something related (script included)
Showing player information on IRC (spotted one script for Irssi)
Using any speech synthetizer to say the song information, reducing the need for external displays, and helping listening to unfamiliar music in bed when all you have is a remote control =) (script included).

Yeah, LIRC plugin seems to support this already, but it only supports ViaVoice - this allows you to use any speech synth... or any other types of output. Just an example of flexibility - I created the script to do that at 4 oclock in the morning, and even got 99% of Perl recommendations of good coding right, even when I wasnt fully awake.

Homepage Randomizer allows you to set multiple homepages in firefox.

ll you have to do is separate your websites by a pipe "|" character.

Now this works fine if you like multiple tabs to open every time the browser is started or the home button is clicked; however, this can slow up your browser startup. If your aim is to keep track of a few different pages throughout the day, but not necessarily all at once then this extension is for you.

Homepage Randomizer is extremely lightweight and has a clean user interface. It adds a checkbox in the startup preferences section in Firefox (Tools -> Options -> Main) . Simply add your multiple homepages as described above and enable the checkbox.
