Free raining software for linux

Primate Plunge is a platform game where you help Monkey navigate his way down through treacherous jungles, canyons, towering waterfalls, into the heart of a volcano, and through the driving rain of a cold industrial city.
Monkey will find help along the way in the form of powerups, including parachutes and jet packs.
Primate Plunge originally competed in uDevGame2003, the annual Mac game competition hosted by iDevGames.com. Primate Plunge game is therefore being distributed for free.
Main features:
- Multiple scrolling layers of beautiful hand-drawn backgrounds.
- 5 worlds of intense monkey action, each uniquely challenging.
- Special powerups such as the parachute, and the jumping bean!
- Top score for each world - how deep can you go?
- Star rating for each world - can you get 5 stars in all of them?
- And lots more!

Fair NAT is a script for configuring NAT on dedicated Linux routers. This is the home of my linux router shaper script which allows something like fair bandwidth sharing among clients in the local network. The script is not great or anything - please dont expect the holy grail here - I just thought Id publish it because many people helped me write it and maybe someone has some use for it. I bet there are still lots of things that can be improved. Sorry about the crappy design of this page, I dont have time to put more effort in better looks.
You have a certain number of Clients (User A - User N) in your LAN which are connected by a Switch (or a Hub or BNC) to the Linux Router which is supposed to act as a gateway to the internet. The trouble now is, User B has a lot of downloads running and User C uploads stuff day and night, which leaves User A who only wants to use an interactive SSH shell in the rain, since B and C already use up all bandwidth the internet connection offers.
What we need to do is to share available bandwidth fairly among clients. In order to achieve this, I first tried several searches at Google and Freshmeat. This turned up quite a lot of results, like the Linux Advanced Routing & Traffic Control HOWTO which is a must-read and also contains great scripts, like the Wondershaper for single users. Another great general purpose script I found was HTB.init, which doesnt do anything by default, but gives you an easy way to setup HTB queues. In case you prefer CBQ, theres a CBQ.init too. If you dont know what Im talking about, read the HOWTO above or continue reading here.
Since I never found a script that did exactly what I wanted, I decided to write my own. Its designed to be an all-I-need script, therefore it does not just setup Traffic Shaping, but Masquerading and Port Forwarding too. In short, it does everything that has to do with IPTables and Traffic Control. I use HTB (Hierarchical Token Bucket) to share bandwidth among clients (one class per client). On top of that I added a PRIO queue to prioritize interactive traffic on a per-user basis. On top of PRIO I set SFQ to treat connections fairly. In version 0.72, experimental support for IPP2P to recognize peer-to-peer traffic was added.
This is the simplified scheme for routing:
HTB class (for bandwidth sharing)
|
-- PRIO (for prioritizing interactive traffic)
|
--- Interactive: SFQ (to treat concurrent connections fairly)
--- Normal: SFQ
--- High-Traffic: SFQ
[ --- P2P: SFQ (if IPP2P support is enabled only) ]
I bet this can still be improved and Im always interested in ways to do so. In case you want another class structure, this can be done by replacing the parent_class and user_class functions in the script. See CLASS_MODE in Configuration section and the function documentation in the script for details. Feel free to send me your own functions with a short explanation, if you want me to make them available for everybody.
Heres a "real" graphic, which shows the complete qdisc/class structure on $DEV_LAN if you use the unmodified example configuration file. This graphic was created using a hacked version of Stef Coenes show.pl script and GraphViz. Click here to see it, but I warn you: its quite big. Heres a similar picture, which includes IPP2P support. Note that there are more filter rules (the blue arrows) now which put the filesharing traffic into the users prio band 4.
Main features:
- This is a variable with a space-separated list of features that should be enabled. Default is all enabled if you dont set this variable.
- PROC:
- Allow Fair NAT to change some system variables in /proc, like setting /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward to 1.
- MODULES:
- Try to load kernel modules for QoS first.
- RESET:
- Fair NAT will replace all existing iptables rules with a very basic (empty) configuration. Not healthy for firewalls. You can disable this feature to keep the original rules in place. See Firewall Support below.
- NAT:
- Allow Fair NAT to configure NAT. You could disable this if you prefer to set this up yourself / let your firewall do it.
- FORWARD:
- Allow Fair NAT to configure Port Forwarding. Same as NAT, you can disable this if you dont need it.
- QOS_DOWN:
- Shape download traffic. If you know a little bit about traffic shaping and believe that download shaping is completely useless, feel free to disable this.
- QOS_UP:
- Shaping upload traffic can be disabled also. If you disable this and QOS_DOWN also, you could use Fair NAT for setting up NAT and Port Forwarding only, although thats not really the purpose of the script ;-)
- TOS:
- Allow Fair NAT to modify the TOS (type-of-service) field of packets. Right now, Fair NAT relies on this TOS field for shaping, so using this feature is highly recommended.

Worminator 3 is akin to many Apogee Software and ID Software classic action games such as Duke Nukem and Commander Keen.
In Worminator game, you play as The Worminator (or as several other optional characters) and fight your way through many levels of madness and mayhem.
It features nine unique weapons, visible character damage, multiple supported resolutions, full screen scrolling, sound and music, and more.
Original Worminator story...
The year is 2028, 14 years after the start of the deadliest war in the history of worm kind. Much has changed... In the year 2012; a brilliant American scientist discovered how to make W.O.R.M. (Wormborg Operated Remote Missile) Weaponry, and to work them, the "WormBorgs" cyborg fighting machines.
These so called "WormBorgs" were the elite fighting force and the pride of the United Worms of America. Their life-like roles soon became far too life-like. They thought on their own, and acted on their own whims, under their own leader "DirtNet." No one exactly knows who or what "DirtNet" is, but it soon began to take over.
First, it launched the W.O.R.M.s at the Woroviet Union, in the hopes that they would retaliate and initiate a war between the Woroviet Union and the UWA. However, "DirtNet" obviously had a few bugs to work out, and the W.S.S.R was obliterated into millions of radioactive hunks of mud and dirt. Despite the fact that no one liked Wormunism anyway, all of Wormurope retaliated against the UWA.
Soon, the world was turned into a nuclear wasteland. Nuke drops became daily ordeals, and the giant bombs turning whole forests into matchsticks was to be expected. As if the sewers werent loaded with enough mutated alligators as it was, the hunks of radioactive material combined with the primordial soup of the sewers are said to have created blobs of sewage ooze, powerful enough that they fed off the mutated alligators for lunch.
After what was left of Wormurope had realized what tricks had been played on them by "DirtNet," they began to rally and fight back. For 8 years, the WormBorgs dominated the lands, crushing the rebels... until one faithful day, when the now famous rebel hero emerged. It was Wrom Conner.
No longer acting as individual factions, countries or nations, the rebels struck quickly and fiercely under Wroms command, using tactics that even the powerful W-1000s processors could not predict. The tide of the war had turned.
Over the next 5 years, the rebels devastated the WormBorgs. Using guerilla tactics and reprogrammed WormBorgs to fight for them, the rebels were a resourceful army indeed. Now, in desperation, "DirtNet" has just brought its proto-type WormBorg online, equipped with the latest in armor and weaponry, in one last attempt to regain control...

Tornado project is a clone of the original C64 game.

The goal of the game is to destroy the opponents house with certain weather phenomena: rain, snow, hail, lightning, and the tornado.

The game can be played together (two players), against the computer (or two computer players against each other) or over a TCP connection.

Waif is a console audio unfrontend. That means that between the business of choosing the files to listen to and listening to them, there is no interface to hijack a controlling terminal, hog up screen space, or waste a perfectly good xterm.

It also ends the hassle of restarting a player moving from one display to another. Waif works all its magic in the background leaving you free to do more important work.

Waif is flexible and robust, supporting a wide number of file formats (MP3, Ogg, WAV, RealPlayer, MIDI, audio CD, and more) and a wide number of helper applications including mpg123, mpg321, ogg123, freeamp, and xmms.

Whats New in This Release:

ID3v2 is now supported with the ~/.waifrc configuration file entry:

id3v2=1

Id3lib and id3v2 are required for id3v2 support.

CD tracks listed in show output that have CDDB information will be aligned now, e.g.,

* Now Playing *
[ 1] (CD Track 2) Eric Clapton - Bad Boy
* show format : 9 - 10 *
[ 9] (CD Track 10) Eric Clapton - Dont Know Why
[10] (CD Track 11) Eric Clapton - Let It Rain

Are there any more show cases where alignment needs to be fixed?

FreeSynd is a cross-platform, GPLed reimplementation of the classic Bullfrog game, Syndicate.
As the worlds multinational corporations grew, their profits began to rival those of small countries. Soon they owned small countries and corporate influence was felt at the highest level of world government. Smaller corporations were swallowed up like plankton in the wake of three behemoth mega-corporations, one U.S.-based, one Europe-based and one based in the Far East. These became the only effective world government, unelected, undemocratic, but controlling the lives of the people through commerce.
Then the European corporation perfected the CHIP. Inserted in the neck, the CHIP stimulated the brain stem to alter your every perception of the outside world. Better than any drug, the CHIP gave hope to millions by numbing their senses to the misery and squalor around them. One CHIP would convince users that the sun shone and the birds sang even as they walked through the constant acid rain drizzle. Another that they were glamorous or handsome - theyd look in the mirror and see a different face - while the rest of the world would see them as they really were.
The CHIP was a technological revolution and sold countless units with the slogan "Why change your world when you can change your mind". It also left the user open to auto-suggestion and gave the corporations the perfect tool for manipulating the populace.
Like any new and potent drug, control of the CHIP meant control of the people. Soon the corporations were at war among themselves, desperate to monopolize CHIP manufacture. But the corporations thirst for power left them open to infiltration.
With money earned through pirating CHIP technology, crime Syndicates bribed and murdered their way into corporation boardrooms. It wasnt long before the Syndicates became the controlling force all over the globe, with a finger in the pie of every transaction, criminal or otherwise, worldwide.
And in the crime Syndicates of tomorrow those in control dont need uzis for back up. Teams of custom-built cyborg agents hunt down rivals and traitors, and spread the influence of the Syndicates across the globe.
Enhancements:
This release boasts the following:
- The first level is "playable".
- Most of the menus are complete and functional.
- Sound and music are operational.
Known issues with this release:
- Agent AI is different from the original game.
- No trees the map.
- The minimap is not complete.
- Tax collection and other functionality of the world map are not done.
