Free text animation software for linux

Term::Animation is a Perl module that provides a framework to produce sprite animations using ASCII art. Each ASCII sprite is given one or more frames, and placed into the animation as an animation entity.

An animation entity can have a callback routine that controls the position and frame of the entity. The module can also do collision detection between entities.

INSTALLATION

To install this module type the following:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

Common Text Transformation Library, CTTL for short, is a set of C++ classes and functions to understand and modify text data. Common Text Transformation Library implementation is based on STL classes and algorithms.
Concept of a substring plays major role in design of the text transformation library. CTTL substring is an object that interacts with fragments of text encapsulated by STL std::basic_string template class.
Template classes cttl::const_edge and cttl::edge, designed for constant and mutable data access, respectively, represent CTTL substrings. Substrings may be compared, inserted, deleted, or replaced across multiple text inputs. If content of text mutates, the substrings adjust their positions accordingly to the change. CTTL guarantees that substrings remain stable with respect to a potentially mutable text.
Within CTTL framework, a substring may be parsed with EBNF-like grammar. CTTL lexical analysis engine generates a stream of substrings corresponding to the parsed symbols. BNF and EBNF grammars can be written directly in C++.
Template meta-programming and operator overloading offer features to write C++ expressions that describe grammar rules. No additional steps of parsing, compiling, or generating source code are required. Compiled CTTL program implements LL(INF)-parser, the recursive-descent parser with infinite lookahead.
Enhancements:
- This release focuses on documentation enhancements, which include multiple documentation improvements and revisions.
- An alphabetical index of all CTTL facilities was added: http://cttl.sourceforge.net/documentation_idx.html.

Animation fade-loop is a plugin for GIMP that can convert an animation to make it look better when played in a continuous loop (e.g. for DVD menus).

"This plug-in copies an animation frame by frame and adds a cross-fade effect at the end so that the last frame blends seamlessly back to the first.

Note that because of the resulting overlap, the output animation is [fade_length] frames shorter than the input. The currently loaded gimp image should be the first frame of the input animation.

Text::MicroMason::Functions Perl module contains Function Exporter for Simple Mason Templates.

SYNOPSIS

Use the execute function to parse and evalute a template:

use Text::MicroMason::Functions qw( execute );
print execute($template, name=>Dave);

Or compile it into a subroutine, and evaluate repeatedly:

use Text::MicroMason::Functions qw( compile );
$coderef = compile($template);
print $coderef->(name=>Dave);
print $coderef->(name=>Bob);

Templates stored in files can be run directly or included in others:

use Text::MicroMason::Functions qw( execute_file );
print execute_file( "./greeting.msn", name=>Charles);

Safe usage restricts templates from accessing your files or data:

use Text::MicroMason::Functions qw( safe_execute );
print safe_execute( $template, name=>Bob);

All above functions are available in an error-catching "try_*" form:

use Text::MicroMason::Functions qw( try_execute );
($result, $error) = try_execute( $template, name=>Alice);

As an alternative to the object-oriented interface, text containing MicroMason markup code can be compiled and executed by calling the following functions.
Please note that this interface is maintained primarily for backward compatibility with version 1 of Text::MicroMason, and it does not provide access to some of the newer features.

Each function creates a new MicroMason object, including any necessary traits such as Safe compilation or CatchErrors for exceptions, and then passes its arguments to an appropriate method on that object.

You may import any of these functions by including their names in your use Text::MicroMason statement.

Text Text Revolution project is a text-based ncurses DDR clone.
Text Text Revolution is a text-based Dance Dance Revolution clone.
It supports pyDDRs .step file format (which has now been superceeded by the .dance format), and plans to stream OGG, MP3, or WAV files.
Enhancements:
- Joystick (DDR mat) support is working now. use the -j switch. Its currently hardcoded to use /dev/input/js0.
- Some graphics code was cleaned up, and it is now possible to specify the difficulty (--light, --standard, --hard, or -ln, where n is 1, 2, or 3).

Text::Emoticon::Yahoo is a emoticon filter of Yahoo! Messenger.

SYNOPSIS

use Text::Emoticon::Yahoo;

my $emoticon = Text::Emoticon::Yahoo->new(
imgbase => "http://example.com/emo",
);

my $text = "Yet Another Perl Hacker ;)";
print $emoticon->filter($text);

# it prints
# Yet Another Perl Hacker

Text::Emoticon::Yahoo is a text filter that replaces text emoticons like ":)", ";P", etc. to the icons of Yahoo! Messenger, detailed in http://messenger.yahoo.com/emoticons.php

Text::TemplateFill is a Perl module for formatting of reports with templates from files, use for I18N.
SYNOPSIS
use Text::TemplateFill;
my $tmpl = new Text::TemplateFill;
$tmpl->SetOpt(BaseDir => "paras/$Country");
$tmpl->SetOpt(ErrorFunction => &LogMsg, LineTerminator => "rn");
# Must read all the files before printing a paragraph
$tmpl->ReadPara(Header, "head");
$tmpl->ReadPara(FirstPage);
$tmpl->ReadPara(Footer);
$tmpl->ReadPara(Body);
$tmpl->SetOpt(StartPageTag => Header);
my ($a, $b, $cn, $d) = (a, letter b, ACME Inc, 4.92);
$tmpl->BindVars(NameOfA => $a, B => $b, CustomerName => $cn, VarD => $d);
print $tmpl->GeneratePara(FirstPage); # Optional - since we want a specific 1st page
print $tmpl->GeneratePara(Body);
... $a = ...; $b = ...
print $tmpl->GeneratePara(Body);
print $tmpl->CompletePage;
Main features:
- I18N formatting support, eg: decimal comma in France
- I18N date support
- Automatic page breaks
- Variables are registered, not passed to each GeneratePara
- Items of text (paragraphs) that are output are initially read from a text file.
- Calculations may be defined as part of the paragraph definition in the file.
- Optional use of your own Error reporting code
- Variables can be formatted by the full power of printf
- Automatic page/paragraph counting
- Output is a string that may be then written anywhere

Text::VimColor is a syntax color text in HTML or XML using Vim.

SYNOPSIS

use Text::VimColor;
my $syntax = Text::VimColor->new(
file => $0,
filetype => perl,
);

print $syntax->html;
print $syntax->xml;

This module tries to markup text files according to their syntax. It can be used to produce web pages with pretty-printed colourful source code samples. It can produce output in the following formats:

HTML

Valid XHTML 1.0, with the exact colouring and style left to a CSS stylesheet

XML

Pieces of text are marked with XML elements in a simple vocabulary, which can be converted to other formats, for example, using XSLT

Perl array

A simple Perl data structure, so that Perl code can be used to turn it into whatever is needed

This module works by running the Vim text editor and getting it to apply its excellent syntax highlighting (aka font-locking) to an input file, and mark pieces of text according to whether it thinks they are comments, keywords, strings, etc. The Perl code then reads back this markup and converts it to the desired output format.

This is an object-oriented module. To use it, create an object with the new function (as shown above in the SYNOPSIS) and then call methods to get the markup out.
