Free share the world software for linux

CarWorld is a small driving simulator/demo I use to test various things of interest. It was mostly developed when I was a student. Car World is released with the full source code under the GNU General Public License.

The rendering

The two top pictures represent an slightly older version (v0.072) but graphically similar of CarWorld as it was presented for my project. v0.072 includes an OpenGL based renderer allowing
file input and displaying of texture mapped models with interpolated surface normals, real time projected shadows (as seen in the dino lights example).
background object
on screen command line to modify visual and simulation parameters

The mechanics

based on classical mechanics
uses standard metrics (Newtons, meters, seconds...)
there are no constraints on the environment surface
variable length time increments and variable increment number means "CarWorld time" is not dependent on frame rate.
adjustable simulation specs include: metrics, mass, moment of inertia around rotation axis, suspension pre load, compression damping, rebound damping, engine torque output, air friction, surface friction.

Safe::World can create multiple virtual instances of a Perl interpreter that can be assembled together.

SYNOPSIS

See USE section for complexer example and the test.pl script.

use Safe::World ;

my $world = Safe::World->new(
stdout => $stdout , ## - redirect STDOUT to this scalar.
stderr => $stderr , ## - redirect STDERR to this scalar.
flush => 1 , ## - output is flushed, soo dont need to wait exit to
## have all the data inside $stdout.
) ;

## Evaluate some code:
$world->eval(q`
use Data::Dumper ;
print Dumper( {a => 1 , b => 2} ) ;
`);

$world->close ; ## ensure that everything is finished and flushed.

die($stderr) if $stderr ;

print $stdout ;

$world = undef ; ## Destroy the world. Here the compartment is cleanned.

Note that in this example, inside the World is loaded Data::Dumper, but Data::Dumper was loaded only inside of it, keeping the outside normal.

Tile World is an emulation of the game "Chips Challenge". "Chips Challenge" was originally written for the Atari Lynx by Chuck Sommerville, and was later ported to MS Windows by Microsoft (among other ports).

Please note: Tile World is an emulation of the game engine(s) only. It does not come with the chips.dat file that contains the original level set. This file is copyrighted and cannot be freely distributed. The chips.dat file was originally part of the MS version of "Chips Challenge". If you have a copy of this version of the game, you can use that file to play the game in Tile World. If you do not have a copy of this file, however, you can still play Tile World with the many freely available level sets created by fans of the original game, including CCLP2.

"Chips Challenge" is a game made up of both intellectually engaging puzzles and situations demanding fast reflexes. As you might have guessed, it is a tile-based game. The object of each level is simply to get out -- i.e., to find and achieve the exit tile. This simple task, however, can sometimes be extremely challenging.

The Mana World (TMW) is a serious effort to create an innovative free and open source MMORPG. TMW uses 2D graphics and aims to create a large and diverse interactive world. The Mana World project is licensed under the GPL, making sure this game cant ever run away from you.

The project includes the development of both a client and a server, as well as the development of an online world. At the moment were making alpha releases of the client, while our server is in early development.

The eAthena free software Ragnarok Online server is used until our own server has matured enough to replace it. Once ready, well be making releases of our server too so anybody will be free to set up their own server and start building their own online world.

Shared Mime Library is my implementation for libsharedmime. It reads the Shared Mime Info database and returns you the MIME-TYPE of a file. Freedesktop make this database freely available, but they dont seem to be distributing a library to read it anymore (Its no where in their CVS that I can find).
It is different to the freedesktop version in the following ways:
- Licensed under LGPL instead of the GPL at aid all developers. *sigh*
- Has NO dependencies. Which is an important feature in this world of tangled packages all depending on each other.
- Probably not as fast?
- Not as complete (yet)?
To install the package firstly you need the Shared Mime data files. Which you can get from here. Then download and unpack libsharedmime and:
% make
# make install
Enhancements:
- Added code to check for a text file if the content lookup fails, if it matches it gets a text/plain type.
- Stopped the content lookup being performed on directories.
- Fixed a bug in the magic matching code that caused valid matches to fail. This means that some files will now return the correct mime type as opposed to a default "not found" type.

G-Share is a PHP script that allows you to share your Gmail attachments with the world, it is a download center with files stored in your gmail account.

G-Share project uses a MySQL database to store important data such as categories, download count, visitors, gmail accounts, etc...

XO World is a board game that lets you play Tic-tac-toe versus computer on 10x10 board.

You play against computer on 10x10 board. Both you and opponent place signs (yours is X, and computers is O) on the board - one at a time. The goal is to make a line of 5 signs before your opponent. Lines can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal.

Money Share is an expense management tool that can be used keep track of expenses among several people.
Expenses made on behalf of people can be kept track of and recovered when balancing accounts. The utility also reduces the number of exchanges required in order to balance the accounts.
Enhancements:
Improvements
- Specify which file is selected in the dropdown box
- Change password option functionality is now available
- Transactions page now has a summary of expenses by description
