Free planet tonga software for linux

RSS-Planet is a custom marker file generator for xplanet which uses RSS feeds from news websites to plot the current headlines on a world map.

By default, Yahoo! News and CNN.com are supported, but other feeds that point to articles with easily-discoverable place names (such as the Washington Post) should work as well.

xplanets shows a simulation of a spacecraft flying through the solar system. With the controls next to the simulation screen you can control the simulation and steer the spacecrafts flight.
The following planets are visible:
- the Sun (yellow)
- mercury (gray38)
- venus (burlywood2)
- earth (blue2)
- mars (LightSalmon3)
Note that the sizes of the sun and planets are not to scale, though their distances are. Showing the planets to scale would mean that they wouldnt be visible. The solar system is rather big, after all.
The planet nearest to the spaceship is indicated with a red circle around it. Its relative speed and distance are shown in the data display.
The xplanets program uses the GTK+ toolkit. It has been built with version 2.2.1, so it should work with any version >2.0.0. It does not work with GTK+ 1.x anymore.

Blue Planet is a KDE theme defined by simplicity, usability, dark-blue colors and future look.

Its including background picture that is taken form http://www.guanajuatoenlinea.com .

For those with big resolution:

1600 x 1200 pixels background can be download here:

Background color of application is white due to compatibility issues (you can put black but than text isnt readable in some programs).

PlanetGenesis is a Java program designed to produce models of planets and landscapes.

A little like Mojoworld but free (as in beer and speech) and no where near as good.

PlanetGenesis produces:

- 16bit greyscale bitmaps.
- Wavefront format objects.
- POV-RAY 3.5 mesh2 meshs.
- Terragen terrains.

based on pseudo-random noise. Which can be used in 3D rendering sofware.

Wait no more for a usable system to create a centralized hub, so-called a planet site, of news feeds from selected Web sites, PlanetMatter provides a better choice to aggregate RSS and ATOM feeds of blogs, company news, databases, calendars, articles, and more!

Lastest news items are instantly aggregated and sequentially laid out in one page for readability. Moreover, "full-text" search facility effectively retrieves more related news items according to search terms (keywords).

Features:
PlanetMatter comes with complete feed management features such as

Add, pause, delete, edit feeds
Import feeds to OPML or text
Edit planet site configuration information
and much more!

Installation:
PlanetMatter is relatively easy to install. Please read the INSTALL file for details.

Xplns reproduces real starry sky on your display of X Window System. It calculates the position of many celestial objects (stars, galaxies, nebulae, constellations, planets, comets, etc.) very accurately.
You can enjoy the past and future sky on the desk top as if you have traveled all around the world. In solar system projection mode, you can examine motion of solar objects.
You can observe motion of the stars with tracking an object. The information display function let you know the rise, set and meridian time of solar objects, when dusk ends, when dawn starts, moon age, etc.
These functions are helpful for observing stars under the real sky. There are fourteen projection mode in xplns, "Horizontal View Mode", "Equatorial Mode", "Ecliptic Mode", "Galactic Mode", "Planisphere Mode" and "Solar System Mode".
Main features:
- Fourteen projection mode (Horizontal, Equatorial, Planisphere, Solar System, Planisphere mode, etc.).
- Display stars, nebulae, galaxies, planets, sun, moon, comets, minor planets, galilean satellites, etc.
- In addition to standard star catalog (up to magnitude 6.5), SAO star catalog and guide star catalog (GSC) supported.
- Display function of name of the constellations, planets, stars, nebulae, galaxies, etc.
- Magnified figure of planets.
- Grid of equatorial coordinates, ecliptic coordinates, horizontal coordinates, etc.
- Motional display of stars with continuous or real-time drive.
- Display function of Rise, set, meridian time of solar objects, moon age.
- Images of celestial objects.
Environment
- Linux 2.4 with libc5(ELF), glibc 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3 on i386
- FreeBSD 4.6.2, 4.7, 4.8 on i386
- XFree86 4.1 or later (256 or more colors)

Avadan project is a rogue-like role-playing game situated in space.
The player travels from planet to planet in order to find the mystical oracles. The player is placed in nethack-style dungeons. The whole game is rogue-like, but with the extension of space travels.
The dungeons are shown with tile graphics, and space looks a bit better. On space stations, the player can talk to NPCs, get quests, and trade artifacts found in the dungeons.
To execute the game, you have to open and run the project with Gambas (>= 0.19.20). The finished version will include a binary with all source and data in one big file, so then youll still need gambas for execution, but the game can be started itself; you dont need to use the Gambas IDE.
To see how it works, you should stay in galaxy sector 2-3, fly to the stations entry (with cursor keys), press "d" to dock and then "l" to land on the planet. There you can discover a nethack-style dungeon, slash monsters, collect treasures and so on. The goal is to reach the oracle in dungeon level 10. Press "t" to talk to traders and the oracle. Press "F1" in every stage of the game to get help (esp. about the meaning of keys).
Enhancements:
- added magic weapons
- scrolls can be read (used)
- rearranged some parts of the code
- chests can be traps
- added oracles (essential for win the game, on dungen level 10)
- made enemies stronger
- added enemies for dungeon levels 5-10

Paradise 2000 represents my bend of the Paradise Netrek client. Paradise 2000 Netrek Client is not a fork, because that would imply parallel development, but no one else has done anything with the client since about five years ago.
Paradise 2000 is in fact one of the most, if not the most, actively developed Netrek clients available today. It is for Linux (and FreeBSD) only, and is not open source*. Dont let the Paradise name fool you, it works just fine on standard bronco servers. Nobody has even played a game of Paradise Netrek for years!
The biggest new feature of the client, not found in any other, is the sound system. While the old Paradise client, Ted Turner, COW, and COW ports (Netrek1999,2000) have a simple sound effect system, its crap. Especially the one used by COW. The Paradise/Ted Turner one is better, and is partially written by me, though you wouldnt know that*.
The Paradise 2000 sound system has psychoacoustic stereo effects that place sounds based on where they happen. If someone on the left blows up, you can tell they are on the left just from the sound. The newest version of Paradise-2000 has a sound system with speech output using IBMs ViaVoice TTS. If a teammate sends a carrying message, the client will actually say something like, "F one carrying five to org."
Main features:
- See weapons on galactic map
- Auto-rotate galaxy to put playing teams on left side
- Dashboard timer to show repair or refit time remaining
- See the army count for the planet your are orbiting
- Remap your keys via the help window. Just push the key you want over the name of the function you want to assign to it.
- Use the same key for both bombing armies and picking armies. The client can tell by context with one would make sense.
- You can set configuration options to different values for different server types.
- Double buffering support for graphics. When turned on, eliminates flicker. Very useful for LCD monitors.
- Extensive support for enhanced observer mode:
- See all players tractors and pressors while observing.
- You can lock onto a cloaked player and observe them.
- All your ship stats will reflect the player you are observing. Even torps out, kills, and army capacity.
- Your ship and player letter dont get drawn on top of the player you are observings ship and letter.
- Observers wont have stats shown in your player list, cluttering it up unnecessarily..
- Stereo sound effects!
- Highly configurable speech synthesis!
- Option to omit the team letter of ships on the galactic. Just show 0 instead of F0, since you can tell the team by the color of the letter.
- Game score on hockey servers calculated and put on the galactic for easy reference.
- Cool looking streaking background stars when transwarping on Bronco servers.
- Flags on the dashboard gauges indicating the fuel/shields/hull needed to refit or transwarp.
- Single key transwarp on Bronco servers. Push - to automatically lock onto your base and warp to it!
- 19FLAGS protocol enhancement. Reduces messed up flags from packetloss. Hockey players, this will eliminate stuck tractors and pressors.
- Works with WindowMaker. Window manager delete buttons work.
- Hockey bug fix, puck doesnt cloak at warp 15 or 31.
- Support for short packets 2. Reduces bandwidth and improves playability with packetloss.
- Supports SBHOURS feature, see how many base hours someone has.
- Shrink phasers, like BRMH.
- Support for wheel mice. The wheel will scroll the message windows, and can be bound to actions like other mouse buttons.
- Re-enter the game after dying by pushing the spacebar, instead of clicking on the right team window. Faster and prevents selecting the wrong team on accident in 4v4 hockey games.
- 32 position ship bitmaps. Your ship rotations will look smoother.
- Small red circle around ship shows det radius.
- Tic marks to show exact ship heading.
- Arrow on puck to indicate direction.
- ID of player you are tractoring displayed next to your ship.
- Configure what columns are in the player list, both the one-column and two-column list. You can also change the width of the each field, so show fewer digits for instance.
- UDP portswap option that lets the client work through NAT firewalls, like Linux IP_MASQ, without a special module.
