Free sauerbraten 2007 software for linux

Sauerbraten is an experimental engine based on Cube, can be seen as "Next-Gen Cube", or "Cube 2". Much like cube, the aim of this engine is not to produce the most eyecandy possible, but rather allow map/geometry editing to be done dynamically in-game, and make map editing a lot of fun.

Sauerbraten has an even simpler world model than cube (fewer exceptions, just one kind of building block), is quicker to edit geometry with, yet allows for significantly greater class of shapes. One way to see the transition from Cube to Sauerbraten is to say Cube was a 2-directional heightfield (floor and ceiling), and Sauerbraten is a 6-directional heighfield (heighfields can be modeled in all 6 directions).

The world consists of an octree of deformable cubes. It being an octree has just one important effect: it allows the mapper to work at any scale, from large landscape areas to small architectural details. The octree is largely invisible to the mapper though, he can arbitrarily break up larger cubes or merge them, and the engine takes care of the rest.

The deformable cubes are geometric shapes made out of maximally 8 vertices. In its maximum size, it is a regular cube that fills the entire octree node it sits in, as minimum size all 8 vertices coincide which is to say the cube is "empty". Anywhere in between theres a variety of slanted cubes and wedge shapes that are possible to any degree and orientation, and together with neighbouring cubes can form any shape easily.

The editor is similar to the one in Cube but much easier / direct to use, as there arent all the different kinds of cubes to worry about. Here, you can simply "push and pull" geometry with your mousewheel in 6 directions, depending on the orientation of the surface you are looking at. Modifier keys allow you to influence single vertices on a cube, connected vertices touching multiple cubes, edges, faces and entire cubes. Selections can be made to operate on more primitives at once. Many complex shapes are quick and easy to make. It is definitely the most fun way to model architecture to date.

The internal representation of a deformable cube is very different from a vertex based representation, and is based on "edge spans" which allows the engine to represent any kind of shape uniformly in just 12 bytes. This means it can hold great amounts of geometry in memory and maps on disk are small. To render this kind of geometry, the engine goes through a process of converting the internal representation to vertices using plane intersections based on the edge ranges, culls coinciding faces, merges vertices etc. to arrive at something which renders efficiently by hardware and caches this in chunks based on the octree. This allows Sauerbraten a significantly higher polygon throughput than Cube while maintaining its ability to have dynamic geometry.

The current implementation inherents all the non-world geometry related code from Cube, and as such works without modification: entities, AI, gameplay, network, console/script. For the new code, rendering and editing are close to done, physics and lighting are working quite well, level loading/saving is complete, SP & MP work, but plenty of more advanced stuff like occlusion culling & LOD is missing.

UPDATE: Sauerbraten has now started as a Cube community Open Source Engine (& Game) project. It interesting for developers & mappers, but maybe not players yet (though SP & MP do work). If you are interested in checking it out, or even in contributing, I suggest you visit the forums (see below).

NEWS: may 24 2005 release with lightmaps and working MP/SP gameplay! download from sourceforge below.

Ututo GNU/Linux is a CD-based Linux distribution developed by Diego Saravia at the Universidad Nacional de Salta in Argentina and based on Gentoo Linux. The project is named after a fidgety local lizard that pokes its nose into every hole and is never at rest.

UTUTO-e is a high performance desktop system based on Gentoo Linux (the "e" stands "escritorio", or "desktop" in Spanish) designed to be used by home/office users, developers, organisations and government users. Ututo is based exclusively on Free/Libre Software.

jTagger is an powerful MP3 tag and filename editor. jTagger project can update filename and tags for individual files or in batch mode.

Its possible to test changes in batch mode before writing changes. Basic MP3 playback is supported.

jTagger is written in Java 1.5 (5.0) so it should work on all platforms as long the right java version is installed. The program has been tested on Windows XP SP2 and Linux (Suse 10.0).

Reading audio tracks with extended character encodings hasnt been tested. It is quite slow on reading and special on writing operations. And update time increases with file size.

Diagnotep is an affliction search engine to help diagnose medical problems. Diagnotep project works in the mozilla browser, it might not work properly in other browsers. This is version 2007.1. To run the entire engine on your machine for a faster search, unzip the health archive into a folder and then open the file "health_diagnotep.html" with a browser.

The program is under the GPL license which basically welcomes you to copy or modify this and allows anyone else to copy or modify your version if you make it public. The text is under the GNU Free Documentation License which allows you to copy or modify this and allows anyone else to copy or modify your version if you make it public.

The program searches among the symptoms of a medical database, so the results will only be medical afflictions. There are about 1,800 afflictions in the database, so no matter how deep the search depth and how many symptoms are entered, there will be at most about 1,800 results. The links from the results page point to affliction pages which are either public domain government pages or GNU Free Documentation License pages.

The greatest advantage of the diagnotep search engine is that it searches only medical affliction pages, so the results are not cluttered with pages which are not about health. Another advantage is that the program searches only the symptom part of the affliction pages, so the results are not cluttered with unrelated medical pages. The greatest disadvantage of diagnotep is that it searches a medical database which is large, but incomplete; it does not include all the medical pages on the internet. Another disadvantage is that diagnotep has a size of about 200 kilobytes and so takes about 30 seconds to load on a 56k dialup modem.

Diagnotep development is ongoing and in the future it is hoped that there will be expanded treatment sections for common afflictions, that more afflictions will be added to the medical database and that the 200 kB size of the diagnotep script will be reduced for faster loading.

gwt-hibernate is a library that will bind your hibernate POJOs to GWT widgets.

This project provides the basics to create a web application that uses GWT on the front end and Hibernate on the back end.

It provides code generation templates and support classes that allow introspection, data binding, and validation of POJOs in the browser. Data-bound Form and Grid widgets are included.

Initial code and javadoc has been posted now, see the subversion repository. The code is has been evolved over about two months and is in a "works for me" state. We are using it internally on a project and will update it as we fix bugs and extend it.

You might want to use this library as inspiration for your own GWT data binding setup. Better yet, use the library directly and contribute changes!

Kismet application is an 802.11 layer2 wireless network detector, sniffer, and intrusion detection system. Kismet will work with any wireless card which supports raw monitoring (rfmon) mode, and can sniff 802.11b, 802.11a, and 802.11g traffic.
Kismet identifies networks by passively collecting packets and detecting standard named networks, detecting (and given time, decloaking) hidden networks, and infering the presence of nonbeaconing networks via data traffic.
