Free tv land software for linux

Fruit Land is the first PC-game that has been produced by MesSoft and you can get it for free! The game was programmed in C using DJGPP, RHIDE and Allegro. The first version of the game appeared in 1998 on the MSX, an old 8-bit home-computer and was fully coded in assembly language.

The graphics were done by Patrick Smeets and Jorrith Schaap composed the music. The game was published by STUFF, a group that produces the diskmagazine FutureDisk, which means at least 250 people have the game.

The PC-version of Fruit Land is not a straight conversion of the MSX-version, only the graphics and the level-data were ripped out of it. The game totally been reprogrammed in C without looking at the original Z80 Assembly source (which wasnt possible because I lost the source of the game) and it only took me less than 2 weeks to complete the game.

The only things that are missing in the PC-version are the musics and the sound-effects. Maybe Ill release a second version if someones kind enough to send me some midi-songs and samples...

Some technical information about the game. The game uses MODE-X with a resolution of 256*224. Thats pretty weird (at least for PC), but since the first version of game was done on an MSX (which has a resolution of 256*212) this was the easiest way to do it. Offcourse I could scale all images, but then the images become very ugly.

Anyway, I was very happy when I saw that resolution in the Allegro-documention because it made things easier for me. The graphics were ripped from the MSX-version, the only tricky thing about it was that I had to hack the game to get the right palette (I lost the original source code...).

Me TV is a digital television viewer for GNOME.
The software was developed for the modern digital lounge room with a PC for a media centre that is capable of normal PC tasks (web surfing, word processing and watching TV). It is not designed to be a full-blown media centre such as MythTV but will integrate well with the existing GNOME desktop. If you think that a remote is something that belongs in a museum then Me TV is probably for you.
It currently supports only DVB-T but Im willing to add support for other DVB types because it seems straight forward. It just needs to be tested.
Main features:
- Completely mouse driven
- Current and future program information
- Instant Record
- Double-click fullscreen
- DVB-T and DVB-C support
- Very simple installation and set up

TVProg project is a TV guide software.

TVProg is TV guide software running as a Web server application. It fetches the TV guide source from tvmovie.de and stores it in a MySQL database.

TV shows can be browsed online. Theres also a vcr wrapper script that, running as a cron job, is able to record scheduled tv shows in DivX.

The TVProg package contains a script "list.cgi" that is run as a CGI script to browse the tv guide. You can select channels, do searches or look what is running right now. Theres a detail view for every single tv show.

Cookies are supported for keeping the view properties while browsing.

A cron job script, "vcrwrapper.pl", acts as a wrapper for vcr. Run it every minute and you will have a nice frontend for vcr: In the tv show detail view you can click the record link to schedule it for recording.

There is also a "profile" section where users can subscribe to receive daily tvshow mailings. Also, a user may activate a search, done by a cron job, and receive the search results via email.

This way you can look for a special tvshow or movie without having to look into the listings every day.
