Free snow informer software for linux

Xsnow application is the X-windows application that will let it snow on the root, in between and on windows.
Santa and his reindeer will complete your festive-season feeling.
How to compile:
To build:
xmkmf
make depend
make
To run:
./xsnow
or:
./xsnow& (in the background)
To install (be root):
make install
make install.man
If xmkmf does not work and you cannot get a working Makefile that way then try compiling yourself, eh, xsnow this way:
cc -o xsnow snow.c -lXext -lX11 -lXpm -lm -lsocket -lnsl
gcc, SUN Solaris users without a C-compiler, but with gcc installed, try the following two commands. The first compiles Xsnow, the second links Xsnow.
gcc -c -O2 -I/usr/openwin/include -DSVR4 -DSYSV xsnow.c
gcc -o xsnow xsnow.o -O2 -L/usr/openwin/lib -lXext -lX11 -lXpm -lm -lsocket -lnsl
Note: Xsnow-1.41 needs the Xpm library. It is available from:
ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/libraries/
The current Xpm version is xpm3.4k
Enhancements:
- All you KDE-users can now be even happier with a KDE-enabled Xsnow 1.42!
- The snow will magnificently wipe out your icons, but not to worry, theyre not really gone.
- By wiping with a window or something you can make them reappear.
- Car owners are used to this for years. Thanks to Robin Hogan who figured this out for xpenguin.

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...
Main features:
- Fast, fluid scrolling
- 12 unique weapons, and many types of ammo
- Lots of gibs and shrapnel (all cartoonish, though)
- Visible character damage (as you get hurt, the Worminator actually becomes bloody)
- Visible weapons (every weapon actually appears differently on the Worminator. Most platform games have a single weapon graphic that shoots every type of projectile)
- Over 12 fully animated enemies
- Comes with over 16 levels, and a level editor is included so you can make your own
- Keycards, doors, special items, switches, lever, extending bridges, floating platforms, and more!
- Earthquakes rip the ground apart, while snow and rain fall around you
- Great MIDI tunes by Garret Thomson (garret_t@sympatico.ca, www.sirsonic.com)
- Many sound effects (All from Internet sites such as Sound America and Meanrabbit. Let me know if there are any copyright problems, and I will deal with them immediately)
- Parallax scrolling, plus four data layers in every map. This makes the engine very flexible
- Game includes a campaign game with special scripted events, as well as an option to load custom maps
- Stereo sound effects (where available)
- Limited skins support; you can play as different characters!
- Built using Allegro + DJGPP. Source code may be made available if the demand is there
- If you wish to use the Worminator engine, contact me and we will discuss it (I would never charge any money for it, so if your interested, drop me an email. You have nothing to loose)
- Totally Freeware!
Enhancements:
- made worminator compile and run on Linux (Unix)
- made worminator yield the cpu when its idle
- save settings in textfile format under $HOME/.worm3.cfg instead of as binary blob in cwd
- save / load game to / from $HOME/.worm3.sav
- load datafile from DATADIR as defined during compilation instead of from cwd
- speedup: dont redraw borders and statuspanel unless nescesarry
- check all file accesses and give an error and continue when possible instead of just segfaulting
- fix a crash when changing audio options after loading a savegame of a custom-level or the tutorial
- fix a crash (unix only?) when changing video options and one similar on exit
- fix crash on exit caused by a few double frees on exit
- dont ask for confirmation on load/play_demo/exit when their is no game in progress
- show a message when trying to save when no game is in progress, instead of just silenty ignoring the request
- when clicking on another submenu when in one not only close the current one, but also open the new one
- fix map / savegame / demo read/write routines so that they work on Big Endian archs like PPC too

PlanetPenguin Racer is an FREE OpenGL racing game featuring Tux, the Linux mascot.

The goal of the game is to slide down a snow- and ice-covered mountain as quickly as possible. It is based on the GPL version of TuxRacer.

Imager::Color is a Perl module with color handling for Imager.

SYNOPSIS

$color = Imager::Color->new($red, $green, $blue);
$color = Imager::Color->new($red, $green, $blue, $alpha);
$color = Imager::Color->new("#C0C0FF"); # html color specification

$color->set($red, $green, $blue);
$color->set($red, $green, $blue, $alpha);
$color->set("#C0C0FF"); # html color specification

($red, $green, $blue, $alpha) = $color->rgba();
@hsv = $color->hsv(); # not implemented but proposed

$color->info();

if ($color->equals(other=>$other_color)) {
...
}

This module handles creating color objects used by imager. The idea is that in the future this module will be able to handle colorspace calculations as well.

new

This creates a color object to pass to functions that need a color argument.

set

This changes an already defined color. Note that this does not affect any places where the color has been used previously.

rgba

This returns the rgba code of the color the object contains.

info

Calling info merely dumps the relevant colorcode to the log.

equals(other=>$other_color)
equals(other=>$other_color, ignore_alpha=>1)

Compares $self and color $other_color returning true if the color components are the same.

Compares all four channels unless ignore_alpha is set. If ignore_alpha is set only the first three channels are compared.

You can specify colors in several different ways, you can just supply simple values:
simple numeric parameters - if you supply 3 or 4 numeric arguments, you get a color made up of those RGB (and possibly A) components.

a six hex digit web color, either RRGGBB or #RRGGBB
an eight hex digit web color, either RRGGBBAA or #RRGGBBAA.
a 3 hex digit web color, #RGB - a value of F becomes 255.
a color name, from whichever of the gimp Named_Colors file or X rgb.txt is found first. The same as using the name keyword.

You can supply named parameters:

red, green and blue, optionally shortened to r, g and b. The color components in the range 0 to 255.

# all of the following are equivalent
my $c1 = Imager::Color->new(red=>100, blue=>255, green=>0);
my $c2 = Imager::Color->new(r=>100, b=>255, g=>0);
my $c3 = Imager::Color->new(r=>100, blue=>255, g=>0);
hue, saturation and value, optionally shortened to h, s and v, to specify a HSV color. 0 new(hue=>120, value=>1, saturation=>0.5);
web, which can specify a 6 or 3 hex digit web color, in any of the forms #RRGGBB, #RGB, RRGGBB or RGB.
my $c1 = Imager::Color->new(web=>#FFC0C0); # pale red
gray or grey which specifies a single channel, from 0 to 255.
# exactly the same
my $c1 = Imager::Color->new(gray=>128);
my $c1 = Imager::Color->new(grey=>128);
rgb which takes a 3 member arrayref, containing each of the red, green and blue values.
# the same
my $c1 = Imager::Color->new(rgb=>[255, 100, 0]);
my $c1 = Imager::Color->new(r=>255, g=>100, b=>0);
hsv which takes a 3 member arrayref, containting each of hue, saturation and value.
# the same
my $c1 = Imager::Color->new(hsv=>[120, 0.5, 1]);
my $c1 = Imager::Color->new(hue=>120, v=>1, s=>0.5);

gimp which specifies a color from a GIMP palette file. You can specify the filename of the palette file with the palette parameter, or let Imager::Color look in various places, typically "$HOME/gimp-1.x/palettes/Named_Colors" with and without the version number, and in /usr/share/gimp/palettes/. The palette file must have color names.

my $c1 = Imager::Color->new(gimp=>snow);
my $c1 = Imager::Color->new(gimp=>snow, palette=>testimg/test_gimp_pal);

xname which specifies a color from an X11 rgb.txt file. You can specify the filename of the rgb.txt file with the palette parameter, or let Imager::Color look in various places, typically /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt.

my $c1 = Imager::Color->new(xname=>blue) # usually RGB(0, 0, 255)

builtin which specifies a color from the built-in color table in Imager::Color::Table. The colors in this module are the same as the default X11 rgb.txt file.

my $c1 = Imager::Color->new(builtin=>black) # always RGB(0, 0, 0)

name which specifies a name from either a GIMP palette, an X rgb.txt file or the built-in color table, whichever is found first.

channel0, channel1, etc, each of which specifies a single channel. These can be abbreviated to c0, c1 etc.

channels which takes an arrayref of the channel values.

Optionally you can add an alpha channel to a color with the alpha or a parameter.

These color specifications can be used for both constructing new colors with the new() method and modifying existing colors with the set() method.

Debt Payoff Calculator is a simple set of PHP (5) scripts that will allow users of a web site to enter their monthly income, monthly budget, and outstanding debts.
The system can then generate a debt payoff report predicting how long it will take to pay off the debts.
The algorithm is:
1. Get total monthly income.
2. Get total monthly expenses.
3. Amount available for debt service is income - expenses;
4. Compute the "kicker" as %20 of Available, reduce available by this amount.
5. Compute the ratio of each debt to total debts.
6. Multiply Available by each ratio to get the potential payment.
7. For the smallest debt, add the kicker.
8. Test if any debts would be paid off
8a. If a debt could be paid off, make the payment, adjust the last debt pointer.
8b. Add any excess funds to the other potentials, using ratio2 which excludes the debt to be paid off.
8b. Repeat 8.
9. Make the remaining payments for debts not paid off.
Repeat 5-9 until all debts paid off.
Print the table of payments.
Enhancements:
- This release has been tested with Internet Explorer and Mozilla as clients.
