This package contains xcursorgen, a program for creating an X cursor file
from a collection of PNG images.
libvanessa_socket is a library that provides a simple layer for TCP/IP socket
operations. It includes code to open a socket to a server as a client, to
listen on sockets for clients as a server and to pipe information between
sockets.
Simulates a jigsaw puzzle and illustrates the use of clipping paths.
You need a medium-sized TIFF file to play this game.
Left-click and drag to move a piece or cluster.
Ctrl-left-click and drag to connect knobs to slots.
Right-click to disassemble a cluster.
Ctrl-right-click to extract a piece from a cluster.
Cpanel::JSON::XS converts Perl data structures to JSON and vice versa. Its
primary goal is to be correct and its secondary goal is to be fast. To reach the
latter goal it was written in C.
As this is the n-th-something JSON module on CPAN, what was the reason to write
yet another JSON module? While it seems there are many JSON modules, none of
them correctly handle all corner cases, and in most cases their maintainers are
unresponsive, gone missing, or not listening to bug reports for other reasons.

bitmapped vectors of booleans (no NAs), coercion from and to logicals,
integers and integer subscripts; fast boolean operators and fast
summary statistics. With 'bit' vectors you can store true binary
booleans {FALSE,TRUE} at the expense of 1 bit only, on a 32 bit
architecture this means factor 32 less RAM and ~ factor 32 more
speed on boolean operations. Due to overhead of R calls, actual
speed gain depends on the size of the vector: expect gains for
vectors of size > 10000 elements. Even for one-time boolean operations
it can pay-off to convert to bit, the pay-off is obvious, when such
components are used more than once. Reading from and writing to bit
is approximately as fast as accessing standard logicals - mostly
due to R's time for memory allocation. The package allows to work
with pre-allocated memory for return values by calling .Call()
directly: when evaluating the speed of C-access with pre-allocated
vector memory, coping from bit to logical requires only 70% of the
time for copying from logical to logical; and copying from logical
to bit comes at a performance penalty of 150%. the package now
contains further classes for representing logical selections:
'bitwhich' for very skewed selections and 'ri' for selecting ranges
of values for chunked processing. All three index classes can be
used for subsetting 'ff' objects (ff-2.1-0 and higher).
LBreakout is a classical Breakout game and this means (if you like Breakout ;-)
it is a lot of fun to play! If you never ever played such a game you can check
out the manual for more information and last but not least... play it!
This is a list of LBreakout's features:
Sound
HighScore
A menu with mouse support
Mouse or keyboard can be used for playing
Controls can be redefined
Mouse can be kept in window while playing
Your starting level can be chosen
A difficulty can be selected (easy, medium, hard)
Various backgrounds
A lot of collectable extras
Nice graphics
Cool effects
Own levels can be created
Work with International Standard Book Numbers. From the ISBN, a country
code and publisher code can be extracted. The ISBN number itself can be
verified as being valid, the checksum can be fixed, and it cna be converted
to a European Article Number (EAN).
JSON-GLib is a library providing serialization and deserialization support
for the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format described by RFC 4627. JSON is:
a lightweight data-interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write.
It is easy for machines to parse and generate. It is based on a subset of the
JavaScript Programming Language, Standard ECMA-262 3rd Edition - December 1999.
JSON is a text format that is completely language independent but uses
conventions that are familiar to programmers of the C-family of languages,
including C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, Python, and many others. These
properties make JSON an ideal data-interchange language. -- From Introducing
JSON
Many high-level languages already provide native modules for parsing, generating
and manipulating JSON data streams. JSON-GLib is a C library based on GLib and
released under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1.
It provides a parser and a generator GObject classes and various wrappers for
the complex data types employed by JSON, such as arrays and objects.
JSON-GLib uses GLib native data types and the generic value container GValue
for ease of development. It also provides integration with the GObject classes
for direct serialization into, and deserialization from, JSON data streams.
The suite of utilities known as DosUnix provide a selection of features
allowing manipulation of text files in a mixed DOS/Windows and Unix
environment.
The three utilities are:
- dosunix, which creates a copy of a DOS text file in Unix text format;
- unixdos, which creates a copy of a Unix text file in DOS text format;
- chktxt, which inspects a given text file to determine whether it is in
DOS text format or Unix text format.
