Snow-Apple provides an icon pack for Gnome.

Mark Finlay fairly converted the nautilus 2.0.x theme called Snow-Apple, to an icon theme for gnome 2.2.x. thanks to him.

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

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.

Persistent::LDAP is a persistent class implemented using a LDAP directory.

SYNOPSIS

use Persistent::LDAP;
use English; # import readable variable names like $EVAL_ERROR

eval { ### in case an exception is thrown ###

### allocate a persistent object ###
my $person =
new Persistent::LDAP(localhost, 389,
cn=Directory Manager, test1234,
ou=Engineering,o=Big Snow Org,c=US);

### declare attributes of the object ###
$person->add_attribute(uid, ID, String);
$person->add_attribute(userpassword, Persistent, String);
$person->add_attribute(objectclass, Persistent, String);
$person->add_attribute(givenname, Persistent, String);
$person->add_attribute(sn, Persistent, String);
$person->add_attribute(cn, Persistent, String);
$person->add_attribute(mail, Persistent, String);
$person->add_attribute(telephonenumber, Persistent, String);

### query the datastore for some objects ###
$person->restore_where(& (objectclass=person)(mail=*bigsnow.org),
sn, givenname);
while ($person->restore_next()) {
printf("name = %s, email = %sn",
$person->givenname . . $person->sn,
$person->mail);
}
};

if ($EVAL_ERROR) { ### catch those exceptions! ###
print "An error occurred: $EVAL_ERRORn";
}

ABSTRACT

This is a Persistent class that uses a LDAP directory to store and retrieve objects. This class can be instantiated directly or subclassed. The methods described below are unique to this class, and all other methods that are provided by this class are documented in the Persistent documentation. The Persistent documentation has a very thorough introduction to using the Persistent framework of classes.

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.

ogg2mp3 takes a list of OGG Vorbis formatted files and converts them to mp3 format. ogg2mp3 project is useful when you want to transfer OGG encoded files to a device which doesnt support the format (e.g. an iPod).

Each file specified on the command line is converted to a file with the same name except the ``.ogg at the end is replaced with ``.mp3. The new file is created in the current working directory unless otherwise specified with the --output-directory option.

By default, ogg2mp3 prints one line of output per file processed (printing it as the processing of that file starts) as follows:

processing 1 / 10 : 01_big_exit.ogg -> ./01_big_exit.mp3

Where 01_big_exit.ogg is the first of ten files to be processed (1 / 10), and the output file is called ./01_big_exit.mp3.

This behaviour can be modified using the --quiet and --verbose options.

OPTIONS:

Note that all command line options may be abbreviated to the shortest unique version, e.g. --output-directory can be shortened to -o because there are no other options beginning with -o. However, to see the version, at least --vers is required since there is also the --verbose option, thus ``vers is the shortest unique abbreviation of ``version.

--debug n

Set the debugging level to n. Ranges from 0 to 10, 10 being really verbose, 0 being just warnings (the default).

--id3-tags or --noid3-tags

Specify that you want (or not) ID3 tags to be copied into the MP3 file.

--force-overwrite

If an output .mp3 file already exists, overewrite it without prompting (the default is to skip such files and issue a warning).

--help

Show a brief command line help message and exit.

--output-directory dir

Tell ogg2mp3 to create the .mp3 files in the directorry dir instead of the current directory.

--prefix prefix

Prefix all output filenames with prefix.

--quiet

Dont print output unless there is an error.

--suffix suffix

Append suffix to all output filenames just before the .mp3 extension.

--verbose

If --quiet is not spcified, this switch increases the amount of information displayed as each file is processed. The extra information details the ID3 tags found in the source file.

--version

Print the program name and version and exit.

EXAMPLES:

Example 1

$ ogg2mp3 echo.ogg got_two_legs.ogg pripple_ipple.ogg
processing 1 / 3 : echo.ogg -> ./echo.mp3
processing 2 / 3 : got_two_legs.ogg -> ./got_two_legs.mp3
processing 3 / 3 : pripple_ipple.ogg -> ./pripple_ipple.mp3
This command will create three new files: echo.mp3, got_two_legs.mp3, and pripple_ipple.mp3 in mp3 format in the current directory.

Example 2

$ ogg2mp3 -o /media/ipod my_song.ogg
processing 1 / 1 : my_song.ogg -> /media/ipod/my_song.mp3
This command creates the file my_song.mp3 in the directory /media/ipod.

Example 3

$ ls *.ogg
track_01.ogg track_02.ogg track_03.ogg
$ ogg2mp3 -o /tmp --verbose *.ogg
processing 1 / 3 : track_01.ogg -> /tmp/track_01.mp3
ID3 Tags:
album => Frengers
artist => Mew
date => 2003
genre => Pop
title => Am I Wry? No
tracknumber => 1

processing 2 / 3 : track_02.ogg -> /tmp/track_02.mp3
ID3 Tags:
album => Frengers
artist => Mew
date => 2003
genre => Pop
title => 156
tracknumber => 2

processing 3 / 3 : track_03.ogg -> /tmp/track_03.mp3
ID3 Tags:
album => Frengers
artist => Mew
date => 2003
genre => Pop
title => Snow Brigade
tracknumber => 3

As you can see, adding the --verbose option turns on display of ID3 tags.

Acme::Test::Weather is a Perl module to test the weather conditions for a user.

SYNOPSIS

use Test::Weather;
plan tests => 2;

# You may only install something
# when its nice outside.

&isnt_snowing();
&isnt_cloudy();

# output:

1..2
ok 1 - its partly cloudy in Montreal, Canada
not ok 2 - its partly cloudy in Montreal, Canada
# Failed test (./t/mtl.t at line 5)
# Partly Cloudy
# matches (?i-xsm:bcloudy)
# Looks like you failed 1 tests of 2.

The package determines a users location by looking up their hostname / IP address using the CAIDA::NetGeo::Client package.

Based on the data returned, weather conditions are polled using the Weather::Underground package.

Because, you know, it may be important to your Perl module that its raining outside...
