Free solar water features software for linux

Solar Visitor is a space simulator where the user flies around our Solar System in a 3D view. The program and source code are offered free, there are builds for Windows and Linux. Solar Visitor uses the Ogre graphics library. The planets and objects were created with the Blender program.
Because Solar Visitor is a 3D program, performance depends on the capabilities of the users video system.
If you wish you may build from source using available tools but be warned this is not an easy task. An addition to Ogre a compiler and IDE (on Windows) are required. The Ogre web site has installation instructions for its use. Those without c/c++ experience will find themselves jumping in the deep end.
With the release of version 0.2.x the user can view planets rendered from textures which is a vast improvement over the painted colours of 0.1.0. There is still realism to add. For instance, the orbits are engineered to showcase shadow effects and not be realistic, where eclipses are rare.
The program code is released under the GPL, the media are generated from downloadable images on the web, details of location are provided. Images remain the property of respective owners.
Enhancements:
- bugfixes
- tilted orbits

Solar Imperium is a Solar Realms Elite clone. In it, you rule a solar empire. Solar Imperiums goal is to become and remain the most powerful empire. You can gain strength by buying forces, and you can gain size by colonizing planets.

You start with some planets, and a little bit of money. You are required to feed your people and army, and to pay to maintain your planets and army. If you fail to do these things, disastrous results may occur.

You are given several turns of protection, during which you cannot attack or be attacked, and cannot perform covert operations. This provides a way for smaller empires to build up their defenses and planets before they enter the real world.

Bulk Meter Flow and Operations provides a Web-based application to manage water meter readings.

Lingua::Phonology::Features is a module to handle a set of hierarchical features.

SYNOPSIS

use Lingua::Phonology;

my $phono = new Lingua::Phonology;
my $features = $phono->features;

# Add features programmatically
$features->add_feature(
Node => { type => privative, children => [Scalar, Binary, Privative] },
Scalar => { type => scalar },
Binary => { type => binary },
Privative => { type => privative }
);

# Drop features
$features->drop_feature(Privative);

# Load feature definitions from a file
$features->loadfile(phono.xml);

# Load default features
$features->loadfile;

Lingua::Phonology::Features allows you to create a hierarchy of features of various types, and includes methods for adding and deleting features and changing the relationships between them.

By "heirarchical features" we mean that some features dominate some other features, as in a tree. By having heirarchical features, it becomes possible to set multiple features at once by assigning to a node, and to indicate conceptually related features that are combined under the same node. This module, however, does not instantiate values of features, but only establishes the relationships between features.

Lingua::Phonology::Features recognizes multiple types of features. Features may be privative (which means that their legal values are either true or undef), binary (which means they may be true, false, or undef), or scalar (which means that their legal value may be anything). You can freely mix different kinds of features into the same set of features.

Finally, while this module provides a full set of methods to add and delete features programmatically, it also provides the option of reading feature definitions from a file. This is usually faster and more convenient. The method to do this is "loadfile". Lingua::Phonology::Features also comes with an extensive default feature set.

Scorched 3D project is a game based loosely (or actually quite heavily now) on the classic DOS game Scorched Earth "The Mother Of All Games". Scorched 3D adds amongst other new features a 3D island environment and LAN and internet play. Scorched 3D is totally free and is available for both Microsoft Windows and Unix (Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, Solaris etc.) operating systems.
You can pick up the game and begin playing very quickly. Then, when/if you are interested, you can poke in the dimmer recesses of the game and get into the strategy (or just ignore it altogether!).
At its lowest level, Scorched 3D is just an artillery game with two+ tanks taking turns to destroy opponents in an arena. Choose the angle, direction and power of each shot, launch your weapon, and try to blow up other tanks. Thats basically it.
But Scorched 3D can be a lot more complex than that, if you want it to be. You can earn money from successful battles and use it to invest in additional weapons and accessories. You can play with up to twenty four other players at a time, mixing computer players with humans.
Theres a variety of changing environmental conditions and terrains to be dealt with. After the end of each round (which ends when everybody dies or theres only one person left), you get to buy stuff using the prize money you won from previous matches.

KAdventure is a nice and simple adventure game providing fun and challenging puzzles. The player is presented with a 2D view from above a playing field, where he has to move his player to the exit.
To get to the exit he has to overcome several obstacles, like walls, moving blocks, water and creatures.
I encourage anyone to create new levels using the new level editor, or even new objects and artwork.
Finally, if someone manages to create a Windows port hes welcome as well.
Version restrictions:
- Clicking Save Level immediately saves the current level, and will overwrite the old level without warning.
- Saving levels only works when the level files are writable. So you should have installed in your home directory or made the directory with the levels writable. No warning is given when saving fails.
- Pressing +/- to change the resolution has some redrawing issues in Edit mode. You can minimize and re-open the window to get a correct redraw.
- If you have changed the size of a level, you need to save and reload the level for the new size to take effect.
Enhancements:
- Fixed the crash when a mine exploded.
- Some small fixes and tidying up.
- Added 2 small new levels.

Space Plumber is a first-person 3d game, not much different to Doom and Quake. The main goal of Space Plumber is to reach the extraction pumps before the water level increases swamping everything.
Each of the 30 levels that conform the game have progressive difficulty by adding more pumps and consoles that you must deactivate first, and by making the map bigger. There are no enemies, you fight against time and misorientation, and you only have your skills to move inside the maze.
The 1.1.x series are a port to use the QDGDF library, making it easier to compile in a variety of systems. Its included in the package, so you dont have to download it separately.
Enhancements:
- Space Plumber has been ported to use the QDGDF library, so its compilable in a wider variety of platforms and has some new features.
- The most important new feature is sound support under Linux.
- The game itself is exactly the same.

POE::Filter::LZW::Progressive is a POE filter wrapped around Compress::LZW::Progressive.
