Sphere RPG Engine project is a role-playing game creation engine.

Sphere is a RPGCE (a role-playing game (RPG) creation engine) that allows you to relatively easily put together an RPG along the lines of Final Fantasy 6 or Phantasy Star.

It supports 32-bit graphics (with 256 levels of translucency) and MP3, Ogg, MOD, S3M, IT, and XM files for audio (and WAV and SPX (speex) for sound effects), and does not place arbitrary limits on map, tile set, sprite set, or script sizes.

It also supports the three standard modes of input for games: keyboard, mouse, and joystick.

Sphere uses SpiderMonkey (Mozillas JavaScript implementation) for scripting. JavaScript is a very powerful, easy, and flexible language.

The core Sphere engine, after being installed, can run several games. This means that the games dont have to be distributed with the engine, saving download time and disk space. Also, the games can be run on other operating systems, such as Linux, if the engine runs there. On the other hand, you can include the Sphere engine with your game so that Windows users can run your game out of the box.

The Sphere engine is based around maps. Maps use tilesets, which are collections of tiles. A map of a beach would have tiles that represent the sand, the water, clouds, signs, and anything else on the beach. Sphere has support for animated tiles.

Torches could flicker in a cave, or waves could lap at the shore. Maps support unlimited layers, each with parallax and automatic scrolling.

Objects in Sphere are represented as entities. Townspeople are defined with spritesets, which are collections of frames. People can walk in eight directions, and have special directions (usually used for emotions or running). Unlike most RPG engines, spritesets in Sphere have a variable size. Large animal spritesets are used just as easily as people.

eXperience-engine project is a very flexible pixmap based GTK-Engine.

It is able to draw widgets as a stack of multiple images. Each of the images can be manipulated in different ways before being drawn.

You can, for example, change the color, rotate and mirror images.

To see all these features in action, you should have a look at the eXperience GTK-Theme, and its various color schemes.

The Irrlicht Engine is an open source high performance realtime 3D engine written and usable in C++ and also available for .NET languages.
Irrlicht Engine is completely cross-platform, using D3D, OpenGL and its own software renderer, and has all of the state-of-the-art features which can be found in commercial 3d engines.
Weve got a huge active community, and there are lots of projects in development that use the engine.
You can find enhancements for Irrlicht all over the web, like alternative terrain renderers, portal renderers, exporters, world layers, tutorials, editors, language bindings for java, perl, ruby, basic, python, lua, and so on. And best of all: Its completely free.
Main features:
- High performance realtime 3D rendering using Direct3D and OpenGL [more]
- Platform independent. Runs on Windows95, 98, NT, 2000, XP and Linux.[more]
- Huge built-in and extensible material library with vertex and pixel shader support [more].
- Seamless indoor and outdoor mixing through highly customizeable scene mangagment. [more]
- Character animation system with skeletal and morph target animation. [more]
- Particle effects, billboards, light maps, environment mapping, stencil buffer shadows, and lots of other special effects. [more]
- .NET language binding which makes the engine available to all .NET languages like C#, VisualBasic, and Delphi.NET.
- Platform and driver independent fast software renderer included. It features z-buffer, gouraud shading, alpha-blending and transparency, fast 2D drawing.
- Powerful, customizeable and easy to use 2D GUI System with Buttons, Lists, Edit boxes, ..
- 2D drawing functions like alpha blending, color key based blitting, font drawing and mixing 3D with 2D graphics.
- Clean, easy to understand and well documentated API with lots of examples and tutorials.
- Written in pure C++ and totally object orientated.
- Direct import of common mesh file formats: Maya (.obj), 3DStudio (.3ds), COLLADA (.dae), DeleD (.dmf), Milkshape (.ms3d), Quake 3 levels (.bsp), Quake2 models (.md2), Microsoft DirectX (.X)... [more]
- Direct import of Textures: Windows Bitmap (.bmp), Portable Network Graphics (.png), Adobe Photoshop (.psd), JPEG File Interchange Format (.jpg), Truevision Targa (.tga), ZSoft Painbrush (.pcx)... [more]
- Fast and easy collision detection and response.
- Optimized fast 3D math and container template libraries.
- Directly reading from (compressed) archives. (.zip)
- Integrated fast XML parser.
- Unicode support for easy localisation.
- Works with Microsofts VisualStudio6.0?, VisualStudio.NET 7.0-8.0?, Metrowerks Codewarrior, and Bloodshed Dev-C++ with g++3.2-4.0.
- The engine is open source and totally free. You can debug it, fix bugs and even change things you do not like. And you do not have to publish your changes: The engine is licensed under the zlib licence, not the GPL or the LGPL.

Nelit2 Engine project is a game engine.
Nelit2 Engine is a game engine that uses a Model-View-Controller concept. All View-s classes was developed by me, and you can dont worrie about this.
Model-s classes also was developed by me, but you can modify it for your game or write new class and use Model class how abstract.
The engine uses some popular libraries such OpenGL and SDL.
It works on Unix systems and on Windows.
Enhancements:
- Decoding png, bmp, jpg texture-file.
- 3D mesh.
- Cubemap texturing.

Thunderbird Service Menu is a service menu that will allow you to right click on a file and attach it to a new E-mail from Thunderbird.

Just extract the "AttachToThunderbirdMail" config file to "/usr/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus" and it should work.

Kyra Sprite Engine project is a C++ sprite engine built on SDL.
Kyra is a simple, fully featured Sprite engine written in C++. The Kyra engine is suited to 2D, isometric, and quasi-3D games.
It is built on top of SDL for cross platform use. It supports tiles, sprites, and user drawn surfaces.
It has full support for alpha blending, scaling, color transformation, pixel perfect collision detection, OpenGL acceleration, and mouse testing.
It comes with tools to define sprites and import images into the system.
Enhancements:
- Update Kyra to work with the new SDL 1.2.11
- Fixed 64 bit support for Kyra.

Peco::Service is a Perl module with service specifications for Peco IoC containers.

SYNOPSIS

use Peco::Service;

$service = Peco::Service->new( $class, @depends, $create, %attrs );
$service = Peco::Service::Factory->new( ⊂routine, @depends );
$service = Peco::Service::Constant->new( $value );

SERVICE TYPES

Peco::Service

A generic service registration class.

Peco::Service::Factory

Factory service registration class. Takes a coderef which is called each time this service is accessed.

Peco::Service::Constant

For constant or scalar values.
