Free planet unicorn software for linux

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.

Planets is a simple interactive program for playing with simulations of planetary systems, released under the GPL. The project runs on Linux and Windows, and could doubtless be ported to your favorite flavor of Unix.
Planets was originally designed for kids, in particular, for my then 4-year old nephew who is fascinated by astronomy. The user interface is aimed at being simple enough that a fairly young kid can get some joy out of it. But the adults who have used it have found it to be pretty fun as well.
The code is not bug-free, and Planets is missing some significant features. But its pretty stable and is a fun toy to play with. If you do download it, please drop me an email and tell me about your experience with it.
Main features:
- Saving and loading of universes
- Infinite undo (erase last action) and goback (return to point in time just after last action). This allows for undoing mistakes and replaying interesting configurations.
- Traces of planet trajectories
- Two ways of dealing with planet collisions:
- merges, where the colliding planets are merged into one planet, and
- bounces, where the colliding planets are bounced off each other elastically. This itself comes in two varieties:
- force bouncing, where the force between planets is made repulsive at close quarters.
- true bouncing, where simple pool-table physics calculations are made to determine when planets collide, and compute the appropriate bounce from said collision.
- kidmode, a mode where the focus is (mostly) locked on the application, and interesting changes are initiated by merely banging on the keyboard. This mode is aimed at 1-5 year olds.
- Center-of-mass following: it is possible to follow the center of mass of a subset of the planets. Thus, if you have a sun-moon-planet system, you can have the view automatically track the moon-planet pair.
- Can display kinetic, potential and total energy of the system.
- Both the gravitational constant and the gravitational exponent can be changed.
- There is a simple control panel that makes it possible to see and change the simulation options.
- Zooming, panning, and centering on the center of mass.

The purpose of Planets 3D is to show a simulation of our solar system. The focus lies on a nice graphic (3D OpenGL) and the possibility to modify the objects of the solar system to see what happens.
This program is written on Linux using C++. In theory it should be portable to windows, because Ive used only plattform independent libraries. Anyone who tries to port it please contact me even if unsuccessful, perhaps I can help overcome arising errors.
By now there is included a small program which converts different coordinate systems into each other. It is called Astroconvert.
Main features:
- simulate the development of the solar system based on calculations of the gravity power
- take screenshots
- load and save solar systems
- modify solarsystem
- switch between different cameras to view the solar system (e.g. look through a shuttle window)

Escape of the Unicorn project is a side-scrolling, 2D flying shooter game.
Welcome to the land of miraculous creatures.
Take a risk and play the game called
Escape of the Unicorn.
You play a unicorn,
a noble and most beautiful animal,
the most beautiful to have ever existed.
Your goal is to escape
from a cave full of monsters and traps.
You can move with the arrow keys and fire missiles.
Every missile can harm a monster if it is aimed well.
Beware of the monsters and lasers.
They decrease your energy when you touch them.
The same happens when you hit walls.
Some creatures may also shoot fireballs.
Be careful at all times.
When you are out of energy,
you die and lose the game.
Enhancements:
- Levels now have more complex shape
- 3 crafted levels
- Per-object speed control, and new types of interactions
- New game objects such as Puff Fish, Wall Spikes, Bloops
- Walls no longer damage player, immunity time much shorter

Net::UP::Notify is a Perl module that can send "Net Alerts" to cellular phones with the "Unwired Planet" browser (AKA phone.com, AKA OpenWave UP.Browser).

SYNOPSIS

use Net::UP::Notify;
$blah=new Net::UP::Notify;
$blah->subscriberid("111111111-9999999_atlsnup2.adc.nexteldata.net");
$blah->location("http://www.perl.com/");
$blah->description("The Perl.com Homepage");
print $blah->send;

This allows you to send a Net Alert to a cellular phone, provided you know the subscriber ID of the user. This also requires the end user to have the Wireless Web service on their phone, and they also must have it provisioned by the carrier.

This was designed and tested using a Nextel phone, but I think that both Cingular and Sprint PCS should be supported here when given the proper subscriberid string.
My intention is to completely support the entire UP SDK, but for right now, I can only support the sending of Net Alerts.

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.

Network Probe and protocol analyzer is the ultimate tool for traffic-level network monitoring, troubleshooting, analysis,
If your network is crawling to a standstill, and you suspect there might be a problem with the network traffic, Network Probe will quickly help you identify what is causing the problem, show you who is generating any troublesome traffic, and where the traffic is being transmitted.
Network Probe will collect traffic statistics for all protocols, hosts, and conversations on your network, and show you all the top talkers and listeners on your network. Hosts generating large amounts of traffic such as music and movie streaming, playing online games, or listening to streaming media are easily identified.
Main features:
- Watch in real time which protocols are used on your network
- Watch in real time which hosts are active on your network and the Internet
- Watch in real time which conversations are taking place on your network and to and from the Internet
- Watch in real time detailed protocol statistics per host
- Watch in real time detailed protocol statistics per conversation
- Watch in real time network card details for your network
- Watch traffic amount of selected entries relative to the total and filtered traffic
- Watch traffic amount over time for any host, conversation, and protocol
