About the project We plan to build a program that will accept ASCII text as input and generate International Morse Code as output. The output formats can be: - . -..- - (text) on the console Raw audio on /dev/audio (8bit PCM data) .wav files .ogg or (proprietary format) compressed audio International Morse Code Supported character set includes [A-Za-z] (all downcased as Morse is not case sensitive), [0-9], ",-.?/" plus a few procedural characters (SK, AR, BT etc).

The snow package provides support for simple parallel computing on a network of workstations using R. A master R process calls makeCluster to start a cluster of worker processes; the master process then uses functions such as clusterCall and clusterApply to execute R code on the worker processes and collect and return the results on the master. This framework supports many forms of "embarrassingly parallel" computations. Snow can use one of four communications mechanisms: sockets, PVM, MPI, or NetWorkSpaces (NWS). NWS support was provided by Steve Weston. PVM clusters use the rpvm package; MPI clusters use package Rmpi; NWS clusters use package nws. If pvm is used, then pvm must be started, either using a pvm console (e.g the pvm text console or the graphical xpvm console, both available with pvm) or from R using functions provided by rpvm. Similarly, LAM-MPI must be started, e.g. using lamboot, for MPI clusters that use Rmpi and LAM-MPI. If NWS is used, the NetWorkSpaces server must be running. SOCK clusters are the easiest approach for using snow on a single multi-core computer as they require no additional software.

Ecasound is a software package designed for multitrack audio processing. It can be used for simple tasks like audio playback, recording and format conversions, as well as for multitrack effect processing, mixing, recording and signal recycling. Ecasound supports a wide range of audio inputs, outputs and effect algorithms. Effects and audio objects can be combined in various ways, and their parameters can be controlled by operator objects like oscillators and MIDI-CCs. As most functionality is located in shared libraries, creating alternative user-interfaces is easy. A versatile console mode interface is included in the package.

MikMod is a portable modules player originally written by of Jean-Paul Mikkers (MikMak) for DOS. Current MikMod'Unix maintainer (since version 3.0.4) is Miodrag Vallat <miodrag@mygale.org> It uses the OSS /dev/dsp driver including in all recent kernels for output, and will also write wav files. Supported file formats include mod, stm, s3m, mtm, xm, and it. The player uses ncurses for console output and supports transparent loading from gzip/pkzip/zoo archives and the loading/saving of playlists. Full source included, use of this library for music/sound effects in your own programs is encouraged!

Bennu is a high level open source game development suite which focuses on modularity and portability, making it a perfect choice for cross-platform game development. Although officialy it is only supported on Windows, Linux and GP2X Wiz (on the right), Bennu can run on multiple other platforms, including *BSD, MacOSX and other consoles such as the Wii, Dingoo A320, GP2X, or the classic Xbox. This makes it really fun to code in Bennu: the game can be played on you computer AND your console!

CUnit is a lightweight system for writing, administering, and running unit tests in C. It provides C programmers a basic testing functionality with a flexible variety of user interfaces. CUnit is built as a static library which is linked with the user's testing code. It uses a simple framework for building test structures, and provides a rich set of assertions for testing common data types. In addition, several different interfaces are provided for running tests and reporting results. These interfaces currently include: Automated, Basic, Console and Curses.

Termbox is a library that provides a minimalistic API which allows the programmer to write text-based user interfaces. The library is crossplatform and has both terminal-based implementations on *nix operating systems and a winapi console based implementation for Windows operating systems. The basic idea is an abstraction of the greatest common subset of features available on all major terminals and other terminal-like APIs in a minimalistic fashion. Small API means it is easy to implement, test, maintain and learn it, that's what makes the termbox a distinct library in its area.

The VT102 class provides emulation of most of the functions of a DEC VT102 terminal. Once initialised, data passed to a VT102 object is processed and the in-memory "screen" modified accordingly. This "screen" can be interrogated by the external program in a variety of ways. This allows your program to interface with full-screen console programs by running them in a subprocess and passing their output to a VT102 class. You can then see what the application has written on the screen by querying the class appropriately.

The pip ("Perl Installation Program") console application is used to install Perl distributions in a wide variety of formats, both from CPAN and from external third-party locations, while supporting module dependencies that go across the boundary from third-party to CPAN. Using pip you can install CPAN modules, arbitrary tarballs from both the local file-system or across the internet from arbitrary URIs. You can use pip to ensure that specific versions of CPAN modules are installed instead of the most current version.
