The curl() and curl_download() functions provide highly configurable drop-in replacements for base url() and download.file() with better performance, support for encryption (https://, ftps://), 'gzip' compression, authentication, and other 'libcurl' goodies. The core of the package implements a framework for performing fully customized requests where data can be processed either in memory, on disk, or streaming via the callback or connection interfaces. Some knowledge of 'libcurl' is recommended; for a more-user-friendly web client see the 'httr' package which builds on this package with HTTP specific tools and logic.

The `exhaust' project is a redcode simulator that is (hopefully) easy to embed into your applications, as an alternative to pMARS. The documentation contains the following: README - Instructions to embed exhaust in a program. test.pl - Perl script to check for differences between exhaust and pMARS. src/ - The C source code of exhaust (highly commented). warriors/ - Test warriors. The "warriors" subdirectory contains Redcode assembly files (.red) and parsed Redcode assembly files (.rc). The last ones can be loaded into exhaust, the others have to be parsed, for example with pMARS. NOTE: this documentation is only useful for developers.

It also features a scripting language for versatile gameplay or tutorials and an integrated map editor.
