Free quan masters 0.5.0 software for linux

The Ur-Quan Masters is a port of the 3DO version of the classic space game StarControl II.

The game is currently fully playable, though it crashes or locks every now and then. The play experience is also far from perfect; many graphical and control glitches remain to be fixed.

That said, its possible to get all the way to the final battle if you save often to protect against the occasional crash.

qmeterslib library provides a highly customizable Qt widget for creating complex analog dial widgets. It supports multiple scales, multiple needles, and customizable needles and backgrounds.
qmeterslib library works as a "container" QAnalogMeter widget that is initially empty. The developer must create one or more instances of a scale (clock or sector) and one or more instances of index/needle (clock, donut, pie). A demo application is included.
Enhancements:
- All KDE dependence was removed from the demo and the project itself.
- The project is now based on Qmake instead of KDevelop.
- Index behavior was corrected so that values out of range are not considered for widget update.

Aeromys is a webmail application designed for extremely fast access to email through the web. An interesting feature of the aplication is that it caches the messages from the server before user requested it.
I had the idea for Aeromys several years ago when I was thinking about how PHP was essentially an inappropriate technology for writing a web application. I like to make the distinction between a web site, and a web application. A web site is what you are looking at right now, it displays information and can be navigated. It is by nature in page-form. However, an application is different. It takes much more processing and more overhead. This is the problem I saw with most web applications written in PHP. They were slow, not because of a flaw in their design or poor implementation, but simply because of the nature of HTTP and PHP.
As I got to thinking about it, I realized that the application server model is much more appropriate. Application servers have been in use for quite a while, they are not a new or novel concept. However, as Ill show later, some of the things Im trying to do with Aeromys are new to the webmail domain, and are pretty exciting.
Another inherent problem with using PHP for web applications is that there is a lot of down time. PHP can only run after a user has requested a page. That is, Apache will spawn the PHP process, parse the PHP script, and execute it. All this time, the user is waiting on the other end. Delays of even a second are noticed. In a webmail application, these kind of delays are common because the PHP process must connect out to the IMAP server, which takes time.
Enter Aeromys. Aeromys has a webmail daemon (webmaild) that is constantly running in the background. This daemon keeps track of the users who have logged into the system and keeps their IMAP connections alive between page loads. Also, while the user is reading his or her email, this daemon takes advantage of the down time and pre-fetches information that it thinks will be requested for the next page load. This is what I call "predictive caching." When the user makes the next page request, hopefully the information required for building that page will have already been cached and can be displayed instantly.
This semester (Spring 2005), I am working on Aeromys as an independant study project under Dr. Peter Wurman at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC. It is my hope to continue this work on through as my masters thesis and possibly a doctoral dissertation. So I have a personal vested interest in this project.
Enhancements:
- Added basic sorting method
- Switched back-end libraries from c-client to libEtPan
- Improved interactive mode
- Improved logging and debugging capabilities
- Fixed several crash bugs

MyPaint is a painting application with brush dynamics.

MyPaint is a fast painting/scribbling program. It is like the GIMP with only the airbrush tool, but with more dynamics.

For example you can noisify the brush radius depending on the pointer speed. It supports pressure sensitive graphic tablets. MyPaint has an infinite canvas and an own color selector, but no layers and no undo function.

Messiggy is a software that contains database of celestial objects, as cataloged by the French astronomer Charles Messier in the mid-18th century.

Messeir was a comet hunter, and the objects in his list -- galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters -- were often mistaken for comets by astronomers of his time. Messiers list contains many of the most beautiful objects in the heavens.

From the glorius Andromeda galaxy to the wispy delights of the Trifid Nebula, these celestial visions are often part of the "Messier Marathon", a personal contest to view all 110 objects in a single night.

This version of Messiggy is a beta release. Select an object from the main panel, and the program will display an informational window describing the object. Future versions will include:

Annotations

Annotations attach observation notes and images (yours, or someone elses) to a Messier Object.

Star Charts

Future versions of Messigy will plot several types of star charts.

Marathon tracker

A tool for organizing and recording a Messier Marathon.

Internationalization

The final releases of Messiggy will support interfaces in languages other than English. Given the talents of my lovely wife, the initial version will likely include a Spanish translation.

As always, Im open to suggestions.

Pydar is a digital audio recorder providing scheduled recording of radio programs. It provides scheduling recording of radio programmes. Pydar can compress programmes on the fly into either Ogg Vorbis or Ogg Speex formats as well as recording to uncompressed Microsoft WAV files. Pydar is free software licensed under the GNU General Public License.
Pydar will run only on GNU/Linux or similar operating systems which have the Linux binary interface exactly (pydar directly uses the kernel interface to tune the radio.
Pydar requires Python >= 2.2 (probably), PyGTK >= 2.0.0, Libglade >= 2.0.0 to run together with at and sox to schedule recordings. Pydar does not require any GNOME specific libraries but does follow the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines (please report deviations from the HIG as bugs).
Users running Redhat GNU/Linux 9.0 must upgrade PyGTK before pydar will function correctly. The RPMs provided in Fedora Core (pygtk2, pygtk2-devel, pygtk2-libglade) have been tested and are known to work.
Enhancements:
- TODO, pydar, src/pydar.glade, src/pydar/gui.py, src/pydar/tuner.py: Added a few warning/confirmation dialogs. Added a few beeps when dumb stuff happens. Improved error reporting by being more conservative about swallowing exceptions

Shaaft is an OpenGL 3D falling block game similar to Blockout. It currently runs on Linux and Windows.

There is still a lot missing. No menu system, forgets highscore, some of the sound effects need work (Clearing a single plane sounds like a f*rt. Try clearing >1 plane, though...), etc. That said, I find it is very playable. Enjoy!

You control the rotation via q,a,w,s,e,d. Space will drop the block.
