Free space probes software for linux

Space Racer project is a OpenGL Car Game in a galactic environment.

It aims to be a clone of the well known Stunt Car Racer developed by Geff Crammond, author of Grand Prix I and II.

To play a 3dfx is recommanded. But TNT and Matrox Cards should now work.

If you have a 3dfx, you can take advantage of OpenGL 1.1 in adding this line in config.h:

#define SP_OPENGL_1_1

Space Commander is a game that aims to be similar to Elite and Privateer, with maybe a bit of Trade Wars thrown in.
The project is a remarkably functional space simulation with under 200 lines of code in the main file.
DEPENDENCIES
You need a recent version of Python and some support libraries. The game is currently being written using Python v 2.4.3 but it may work with newer or older versions with some minor tweaking. I intend to be using Python 2.5 and PyGame 1.8 shortly.
- Python 2.4.3
- PyGame 1.7
- Numeric 22.0
Basically you need a pretty complete Python kit. Most Linux distributions should have everything that you need and Windows / OSX users will be able to install it all with a small bit of effort.
To play the MIDI score in Linux you have to install and configure Timidity due to some old code in sdl-mixer which is a pre-dependency of PyGame. If the game crashes and
complains about midi, just comment out the MIDI line in spacecommander.py to disable it.
As to performance issues. I pass the buck. If it runs too slowly then get a faster computer, better graphics card, better operating system, whatever.
The idea of writing this in Python is to have a compromise between ultimate performance and the ability to understand and tinker around with the code.
You could try reducing the number of stars in the galaxy by editing bigbang.py also.
Feel free to re-write the game in hand optimized assembler, but you must send me a copy of your code per the LICENSE.
RUNNING THE GAME
Linux: ./spacecommander.py
KEYBOARD COMMANDS
ESC / Q: Quit the game
Left / Right: Yaw
Up / Down: Pitch
PgUp / PgDN: Roll
Enhancements:
- The main engine was completely rewritten and now supports flying a spaceship around a randomly generated galaxy. 2D rendering of objects using PyGame is supported.
- Mouse flight control is featured.

Open Space Shooter is a simple 2D space shooter like asteorids.

Just a small spaceship, some Asteorids and some enemies. You got lasers and rockets and try to fight the enemy ships, not more.

It is simple but funny.

All is just a prototyp of a game I want to write later. But I have no time at the moment...

mrtg-misc-probe probes different system features for mrtg to graph.
Currently it can probe:
- percent usage of disk space and inodes for UFS filesystems
- percent usage of disk space for VxFS filesystems
- incoming and outgoing mail messages on sendmail mail server
- total size of mail messages sendt and received on sendmail mail server
- network delay using NTP peers/servers
- number of ClearCase vobs and views
- number of available and used ClearCase and MultiSite licenses
- number of active and disconnected sessions of a Citrix Metaframe server
- number of reachable hosts in a given network range
- network device reachability (ping success)
Enhancements:
- New probes: ctxmf - number of active and disconnected Citrix Metaframe sessions; hostcount - scan given nmap-network-range and return number of hosts found.

Sparklet is a multiplayer networking game. Sparklet is multiplatform, real-time, 2D, top-down view, 3rd person space shooting game. It is released under GPL license.

At the moment there are no known bugs, but the game has not been deeply tested yet.
