XJump (aka 'FALLING TOWER') is a cool game based on simple X graphics
where the object is to get the player up as many levels as possible.
Quite possibly one of the most addictive games out there.
xbindkeys is a program that allows you to launch shell commands with your
keyboard or your mouse under X Window. It links commands to keys or
mouse buttons, using a configuration file.
Gri is a language for scientific graphics applications. By 'language' I mean
that it is a command-driven application, as opposed to a click/point
application. It is analogous to latex or tex, and shares the property that
extensive power is the reward for tolerating a modest learning curve. Gri
output is in industry-standard PostScript, suitable for incorporation in
documents prepared by various text processors. Gri can make x-y graphs,
contour-graphs, and image graphs. In addition to high-level capabilities, it
has enough low-level capabilities to allow users to achieve a high degree of
customization. Precise control is extended to all aspects of drawing, including
line-widths, colors, and fonts. Text includes a subset of the tex language, so
that it is easy to incorporate Greek letters and mathematical symbols in labels.
Tk::TableMatrix is a table/matrix widget extension to perl/tk for
displaying data in a table (or spreadsheet) format. The basic
features of the widget are:
* multi-line cells
* support for embedded windows (one per cell)
* row & column spanning
* variable width columns / height rows (interactively resizable)
* row and column titles
* multiple data sources ((perl hash|| perl callback) &| internal caching)
* supports standard Tk reliefs, fonts, colors, etc.
* x/y scrollbar support
* 'tag' styles per row, column or cell to change visual appearance
* in-cell editing - returns value back to data source
* support for disabled (read-only) tables or cells (via tags)
* multiple selection modes, with "active" cell
* multiple drawing modes to get optimal performance for larger tables
* optional 'flashes' when things update
* cell validation support
* Works everywhere Tk does (including Windows and Mac!)
VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is, in essence, a remote
display system which allows you to view a computing 'desktop'
environment not only on the machine where it is running, but from
anywhere on the Internet and from a wide variety of machine
architectures.
This library allows Python to read, modify, and write out bitmap fonts in
the BDF file format, such as are used as screen fonts in GNOME and KDE
(among others).
XRally is a Linux clone of the classic Rally X arcade game. For
those who don't know, in Rally X you control a blue (good) car,
that has to collect yellow flags around a maze-like map, while
avoiding the red (bad) cars. In order to help himself, the blue car
can use clouds of smoke through the maze. If a enemy touch any of
these clouds, it stops for a while. The enemy cars can also crash
one with the other, what gives you some extra time.
XRally is written in C using only the basic Xlib and Xpm libraries.
It's a project aimed mainly at newbie X11/Game programmers like me
(but any experienced help is appreciated! :) )
Aview is powerful graphics viewer which utilize the aalib API and allows
viewing netpbm format (and others in the presence of netpbm or ImageMagick)
on console (using slang) and X.
There are three programs.
aview: the main program which could used to view pnm, ppm, pgm and pbm
files. It runs under X or slang.
asciiview: a shell script wraps around aview to allow wider range of image
formats to be viewed. Netpbm package is required for the conversion.
aaflip: a program to view flip animation using ascii text. Works under X
and slang.
You could press h to get help. You may also save the pics in various text
format. Thanks to aalib!
KCharSelect is a tool to select special characters from all
installed fonts and copy them into the clipboard.
gucharmap is a Unicode/ISO10646 character map and font viewer. It uses
GTK+ 2, and supports anti-aliased, scalable fonts.
