The WebStone benchmark tests were originally developed by Silicon Graphics
to measure the performance of Web server software and hardware products.
WebStone 2.0.1 is a more portable version of the original WebStone
benchmark which added support to use Windows NT systems as client test
systems.
Mindcraft, Inc. has acquired the rights to WebStone from Silicon Graphics.
WebStone 2.5 is Mindcraft's enhancement to WebStone 2.0.1 to improve
reliability and portability as well as to make tests more reproducible.
WebStone 2.5 also offers new workloads for CGI and API tests (see below
for more details). WebStone 2.5 provides performance-identical test
results with WebStone 2.0.1 when using the same workloads
This FreeBSD port rely on rsh and rcp being allowed for the user proces
running webstone between the web server and web clients. This is not
enable per default in FreeBSD, and root is never allowed to do it without
entering password for each operation.
Cross platform
==============
Kivy is running on Linux, Windows, MacOSX, Android and IOS. You can run the
same code on all supported platforms. It can use natively most inputs
protocols and devices like WM_Touch, WM_Pen, Mac OS X Trackpad and Magic Mouse,
Mtdev, Linux Kernel HID, TUIO. A multi-touch mouse simulator is included.
Business Friendly
=================
Kivy is 100% free to use, under LGPL 3 licence. The toolkit is professionally
developed, backed and used. You can use it in a product and sell your product.
The framework is stable and has a documented API, plus a programming guide to
help for in the first step.
GPU Accelerated
===============
The graphics engine is built over OpenGL ES 2, using modern and fast way of
doing graphics. The toolkit is coming with more than 20 widgets designed to be
extensible. Many parts are written in C using Cython, tested with regression
tests.
PyCogent is a software library for genomic biology. It is a fully integrated
and thoroughly tested framework for: controlling third-party applications;
devising workflows; querying databases; conducting novel probabilistic
analyses of biological sequence evolution; and generating publication quality
graphics. It is distinguished by many unique built-in capabilities (such as
true codon alignment) and the frequent addition of entirely new methods for
the analysis of genomic data.
The Revision Control System (RCS) manages multiple revisions of files. RCS
automates the storing, retrieval, logging, identification, and merging of
revisions. RCS is useful for text that is revised frequently, including source
code, programs, documentation, graphics, papers, and form letters.
This port is gnu rcs 5.7. It is compatible with the rcs that was in FreeBSD
prior to its removal in FreeBSD-10.0. Some ports will not work with changes
made to rcs (e.g. changes to command line syntax) following the rcs 5.7
release.
UAE is a mostly complete software emulation of the hardware of the Commodore
Amiga 500/1000/2000. Commodore Amiga, for those who don't know, is a 16/32
bit computer system based on the Motorola 680x0 CPU and a few specially
designed custom chips that provide very good graphics and sound capabilities.
Its first incarnation, the A1000, appeared in 1985, followed by the highly
successful A500 and A2000 models.
Requires a valid Amiga ROM file in order to be useful.
This is a port of Atomic Tanks, a 2D tank game where small tanks use
cartoonishly large weapons to blow up each other. Atomic Tanks is loosely
based on the classic DOS game, Scorched Earth. The game is very
flexible, allowing anywhere from two to ten players, variable environments
and a wide range of weapons and other items.
To work, this game requires that the Allegro graphics library be installed.
A simple, easy to understand game. From an overhead perspective, pilot your
little ship around with the arrow keys, shooting your way (with the space bar)
through about twenty levels of action and gorgeous (_cough_) 3d graphics. In
theory, all you windows folks need to do is extract the archive, and double
click the exe. In theory. Sorry, I never got round to adding sound - but look
on the bright side, at least you can use it at work without anyone noticing. :)
excido is a free (GPL) game. It combines (simple|old school|arcadey) gameplay
with 3D OpenGL graphics and OpenAL positional audio. Excido is not a
highly complex experience, but you may enjoy it as a small diversion.
Excido was developed under GNU/Linux, and has also been found to work on MacOS
X. It should also work with minimal porting effort on the other platforms
supported by SDL/OpenAL.
Return to Castle Wolfenstein is a remake of sorts of the id's early, seminal
first-person shooter, Wolfenstein 3D. However, with the advances in graphics
technology and gameplay design since the original game, without the name and
the occasional in-game references, it would be unrecognizable as a remake.
Unlike the original Wolfenstein 3D, only a handful of the single player
missions in Return to Castle Wolfenstein takes place in the infamous castle
and prison.
