Source Speak is a PHP program which enables a person to display their programs source code. If you are wondering why someone would want to share their code, there are many reasons.

displaying code for a potential employer
showing other developers your algorithms
developers on add to your code

This program is easy to use. Just copy the program to your web server that has PHP installed. The next step is to copy your project into the projects directory.

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.

Sorcerer is a source-based Linux distribution for system administrators. The sources are downloaded directly from software authors homepages and mirrors.

Then, they are compiled with the architecture and optimizations that the system administrator specifies.

Finally, it is installed, tracked, and archived for easy removal and upgrades. Sorcerer has both command line and menu driven source mangement programs.

Beesoft Commander is a file manager (like Norton Commander) for Linux.

BSCommander is based on Qt-GUI.

The basis of this program is Qt toolkit from Trolltech (non-commercial licence for open sources programs). Im writing in C++, and using Qt and STL.

BSCommander is open-source software released under the GPL license.

GNU Source-highlight produces a document with syntax highlighting when given a source file.

Source-highlight reads source language specifications dynamically, thus it can be easily extended (without recompiling the sources) for handling new languages.

GNU Source-highlight also reads output format specifications dynamically, and thus it can be easily extended (without recompiling the sources) for handling new output formats. The syntax for these specifications is quite easy (take a look at the manual).

Since version 2.2, source-highlight can also generate cross references; in order to do this it relies on GNU Ctags.

These are the output formats already supported:

HTML
XHTML
LATEX
TEXINFO
ANSI color escape sequences (you can use this feature with less)

These are the input languages (or input formats) already supported (in alphabetical order):

C/C++
Bison
Caml
Changelog
Diff
Flex
Fortran
Html
Java
Javascript
Latex
Logtalk
Log files
Lua
ML
Pascal
Perl
PHP
Prolog
Python
Ruby

Gconfigure is a shell-script that allows for a more easy building of programs for sources.

If you want to build a tarball, youll usually execute:

tar -xzvf mypackge.tar.gz
cd mypackage
less INSTALL
less README
./configure --help
./configure --prefix=/usr
-sysconfdir=/etc/gnome --some-other-option
make
su -c "make install"

With gconfigure, youll merely right-click on the tarball and choose build. Some dialogs will allow you to set the necessary options and the program will be installed for you.

Including adding it to you package management system. Installing a package from source will be almoust the same as installing it from rpm/deb/tgz.
