Free sparco steering wheel software for linux

SpacePong is an innovative game that is controlled with the mouse. The gameplay involves steering your spacecraft ball around the screen and picking up speed by bouncing off the walls. The goal is to collect a certain amount of space boxes in a short time.
Enhancements:
- New sounds and music were added.
- A moving stars effect in the background was implemented.
- Packages for Debian and Mandriva were added.

EvRouter reads events from the Linux input layer, and acts on them according to a user-specified set of rules. Currently, EvRouter can map events to X11 key and button presses, XMMS commands, and it can also run shell commands.

EvRouter is intended to help legacy applications understand modern events such as mouse wheel movement and special keys on keyboards.

EvRouter also offers hotkey-like functions, and can help existing modern applications deal with events that, for one reason or another, X11 is unaware of (as long as they are accessible through a Linux event device).

POE::Wheel::Audio::Mad is a POE Wheel implementing in-session non-blocking mpeg stream playing.

SYNOPSIS

use POE;
use POE::Wheel::Audio::Mad;

POE::Session->create(
inline_states => {
_start => &am_start,
message => &am_message
}
);

sub am_start {
my ($kernel, $heap) = @_[KERNEL, HEAP];

## you may also specify decoder options, listed below..
$heap->{wheel} = new POE::Wheel::Audio::Mad ( message_event => message );

$kernel->yield( decoder_open, {
filename => /path/to/some/stream.mp3,
play => 1
});
}

sub am_message {
my ($kernel, $message) = @_[KERNEL, ARG0];

if ($message->{id} eq INPUT_EOF_WARNING) {

print "finished..n";

undef $heap->{wheel};

} elsif ($message->{id} eq DECODER_FRAME_DATA) {

if (defined($message->{data}->{played})) {

print "rplayed: $message->{data}->{played}";

}
}
}

$poe_kernel->run();
exit();

POE::Wheel::Audio::Mad is an attempt to bring a naitive perl mpeg decoder into a perl session. This module was written to work as a POE Wheel due to its nature -- it simply playes mpeg streams -- you have to do the job of controlling the player and handling updates. This really isnt your traditional wheel.

Edastro places ever changing astrology charts for current time on your desktop.

The package contains 8 themes:

-2 (a black and a white) standard wheel charts
-2 standard wheel charts with hourglass look effect
-2 aspect/midpoint grids
-2 dispositor hierarchy charts

All the themes made in two differend colors, for dark and light desktop (for some dark themes an alternate background included with white shadow). The themes updating every 2 minutes as the sky spins a half degree. Click on the charts to display larger version.

The themes using the unbelievably good freeware ASTROLOG made by Walter D. Pullen (www.astrolog.org). I included an astrolog executable (compiled on 32bit without graphics) in the theme, because probably few able or have time to build it. Imagemagick used to resize images, make them still readable and transparent, and view them.

###To set up a theme:
1, Find out Your location coordinates. You can use these websites:
http://www.astro.com/cgi/aq.cgi?lang=e or http://www.heavens-above.com/countries.asp
2, Extract the theme anywhere, change to that directory and start the !SETUP install script from command line and Answer the questions. Thats all...

###Playing with settings:
Check astrolog.dat config file for the calculation settings. Check the astrolog helpfile from its homepage to read about command line parameters, the 7 chart types etc.

###Possible problems, solutions:
If there is a problem try to rerun the !SETUP script.
If Astrolog executable is not working in Your system, get the source from www.astrolog.org and build a new astrolog, then copy it to the theme folder.

###Known problems:
The theme sometimes flashes on update

IMWheel is a daemon for X11, which watches for mouse wheel actions and outputs them as keypresses.

This is a not so short little ditty that does the simple conversion of mouse button presses into key presses. By grabbing only the 4th and 5th mouse buttons the program is able to receive input from the Intellimouse series mice.

There is also a modified version of gpm included that has, already, support for the Intellimouse, and I added a wheel fifo. The user library may also be used, although this may need to be debugged. See the gpm section below for more.

The wheel button can always be used as middle button, this program does not affect how the XServer, nor GPM, react towards it. A mouse with a wheel button is a 3 button mouse, and should be configured as such!

Installation:

The `configure shell script attempts to guess correct values for various system-dependent variables used during compilation.

It uses those values to create a `Makefile in each directory of the package. It may also create one or more `.h files containing system-dependent definitions.

Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status that you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, a file `config.cache that saves the results of its tests to speed up
reconfiguring, and a file `config.log containing compiler output (useful mainly for debugging `configure).

If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try to figure out how `configure could check whether to do them, and mail diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README so they can be considered for the next release.

If at some point `config.cache contains results you dont want to keep, you may remove or edit it.

The file `configure.in is used to create `configure by a program called `autoconf. You only need `configure.in if you want to change it or regenerate `configure using a newer version of `autoconf.

The simplest way to compile this package is:

1. `cd to the directory containing the packages source code and type `./configure to configure the package for your system.

If youre using `csh on an old version of System V, you might need to type `sh ./configure instead to prevent `csh from trying to execute `configure itself.

Running `configure takes awhile. While running, it prints some messages telling which features it is checking for.

2. Type `make to compile the package.

3. Optionally, type `make check to run any self-tests that come with the package.

4. Type `make install to install the programs and any data files and documentation.

5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by typing `make clean. To also remove the files that `configure created (so you can compile the package for a different kind of computer), type `make distclean.

There is also a `make maintainer-clean target, but that is intended mainly for the packages developers. If you use it, you may have to get all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came with the distribution.

The Software Enigma is a little application that imitates the original behaviour of the Enigma, a cryptographic device that was used in World War II by the Germans. The cipher mechanism was cracked by several different parties (polish, english, ...) in the 40s.
The enigma uses a symmetrical encryption algorithm based on 3 wheels that carry letters in a random order and a reflector wheel also carring letters in random order. A letter passes the 3 wheels, the reflector wheel and then passes the wheels reverse. after each letter the position of the wheels is changed according to the Enigma specifications, see the links below.
The Software Enigma was designed in order to demonstrate the techniques used to crack this mechanism in a coding competition in summer 2000. The Software Enigma can work with more than 3 wheels and can handle more than 26 different characters.
In general you can examine the code and learn to understand the algorithm used to imitate the original Enigma. You can also try to crack encrypted enigma messages by following the procedures that the crackers used in the 40s. You can also use the Software Enigma for encrypting private messages, if you want to rely on an old already cracked cipher mechanism. In any case it is fun playing with it...
Enhancements:
- Corrected historical information inside the docs.
