Java Date Picker is a suite of date components for Swing, highly appreciated by Java developers for its richness of features, configurability and well crafted API. Java Date Picker project contains an editable date picker, a date/time field, a multiple month calendar and a month component.
Main features:
- Lots of features to handle any date/time entry situation
- Careful and well-crafted API to speed up the development of your application
- Microsoft-like calendar to keep the same feeling for users when moving to Java applications
- Mouse and keyboard support to enter date time information intuitively
- Detailed tutorial and examples to get the most out of the API
- Source code access to ensure the life of your application
- Works with J2SE 1.3 or higher on Windows, Mac, Linux and all Java enabled platforms
- Royalty free distribution
Swing Compliant
The components can be localized for any language and region
Ready to use JTable date cell editor so you dont have to write one
Keyboard support for maximum productivity
Look and feel support (Metal, Windows, Motif, Aqua and custom)
Flexible API
Date model to control the edited date
Date parser to parse shortcut dates like "yesterday" or "today + 3"
Date renderer to paint calendar dates as you need
Date selection model to control everything about the selected/-able dates
Custom UI delegates to finely adjust or even reimplement the UI as you like
Date Selection
Selection type like single, single interval or multiple intervals
Week and day of week selection support
Null dates support to allow maximum date input flexibility
Restrict dates to an interval like Jan 1, 2002 - Apr 7, 2003
Restrict dates with rules like "Week-end dates cannot be selected" or "Holidays cannot be selected"
Restrict individual dates like January 3, 2005
Date Time Editing
Structured editor that forces users to type syntactically valid dates using any date format
Free text support to enter dates as a simple text, with no constraints
Shortcut dates support so you can type shortcut strings like "today", "xmas" or "tomorrow" to specify a date
Date validation to keep users from making mistakes
Date field access to have full control over an edited date
Calendar Configuration
Multiple month calendar to view a quarter or a whole year
Control grid color and visibility
Paint the calendar dates as you like with date renderers
Customized fonts and colors to create an intuitive interface
Show or hide week numbers and days
Enhancements:
- This release adds support for the JBuilders dbSwing data binding framework.
- It improves the date editor to support month names.
- JDatePicker is created faster (comparable to JComboBox).
- The JDatePicker calendar can now be configured using a Popup object.
- The JDatePicker class has fewer methods (reduced from 29 to 7).
- There are other improvements and bugfixes.

PureBasic is a new "high level" programming language based on established BASIC rules. PureBasic is similar to any other BASIC compiler you may have used, whether for the Amiga or PC. Learning PureBasic is very easy! PureBasic has been created for the beginner and expert alike. Compilation time is really fast. We have put a lot of effort into its realization to produce a fast, reliable and system friendly language.
The syntax is simple but the possibilities are endless with PureBasics advanced features, such as pointers, structures, procedures, dynamically linked lists and much more. The experienced coder will have no problem in gaining access to any of the legal OS structures or API objects.
PureBasic is a portable programming language which currently works on AmigaOS (680x0 and PowerPC), Linux, MacOS X (PowerPC) and Windows computer systems. This means that the same code can be compiled natively the three systems and still use the full power of each. There are no bottlenecks like a virtual machine or a code translator; the generated code produces highly optimized executables regardless of the OS on which it is compiled. The external libraries are mainly written in hand optimized assembler, which produces very fast commands, often much faster than the C/C++ equivalent.
Main features:
- Huge set of internal commands (800+) to quickly and easily build any application or game
- All BASIC keywords are supported
- Very fast compiler which creates highly optimized executables
- No external DLLs, runtime interpreter or anything else required when creating executables
- Procedure support for structured programming with local and global variables
- Access to full OS API for advanced programmers
- Easy but very fast 2D game support trough dedicated libraries (DirectX, SDL, ...)
- Easy and high quality 3D support based on OGRE
- Optimal use of the available hardware by using highly optimized (assembly) commands
- Source code is portable between AmigaOS, Windows, MacOS X and Linux, for games and applications
- Dedicated editor and development environment
- Integrated debugger to easily trace programming bugs.
Technical Features:
- 486, Pentium (Pro, II, III) support
- Built-in arrays, dynamically linked lists, complex structures, pointers and variable definitions
- Supported types: Byte (8 bits), Word (16 bits), Long (32 bits), Float (32 bits) and also user defined types (structures)
- Built-in string types (characters)
- Constants, binary and hexadecimal numbers supported
- Expression reducer (grouping constants and explicit numbers together)
- Standard arithmetic support in respect of sign priority and parenthesis: +, -, /, *, and, or, lsl, asl, lsr, asr
- Very fast compilation (about 300 000 lines/min on a P200)
- Procedure support for structured programming with local and global variables
- All Standard BASIC keywords: If-Else-EndIf, Repeat-Until, etc.
- External library support to manipulate objects like BMP pictures, windows, gadgets, SDL, etc.
- External libraries are fully written in hand optimized assembler for maximum speed and compactness
- The Linux API functions are fully supported as if they were BASIC keywords
Inline assembler
- Precompiled structures with constants files for extra fast compilation
- Configurable CLI compiler
- System friendly, easy to install and use

Gamma Patrol project is an old style, vertical scrolling space shooter.

You have to fight your way through lots of enemies using different kinds of weapon systems.

The game was intended to be my first Linux program, but I had to switch to Win95 for a while, because the harddisk with Linux fucked up. Now - with a brand new K6-2 500MHz - development is continued under Linux again.

Gamma Patrol is built on top of the Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL), a platform independent API for games. My primary target platform is Linux, but Im able to supply Windows and BeOS versions, too. Thanks to SDL and GCC this is just a matter of ./configure && make

The game features quite nice looking graphics - almost everything has been rendered with the PoVRay raytracer. Title and background music is still to be composed, my wife just began to play with a tracker...
