libcpuid is a small C library for x86 CPU detection and feature extraction.
Using it, you can:
- Get the processor vendor, model, brand string, code name, etc.
- Get information about CPU features such as: number of cores or logical
CPUs, cache sizes, CPU clock, etc.
- Check if the processor implements a specific instruction set such as
SSE2 or 3DNow!
- Execute the CPUID and RDTSC instructions in a portable way
- And have this all in your commercial application, without getting into
trouble, due to permissive license
Reference utility (rather advanced and useful on its own) is also provided.
wm2 is a window manager for X. It provides an unusual style of window
decoration and as little functionality as I feel comfortable with in a
window manager. wm2 is not configurable, except by editing the source
and recompiling the code, and is really intended for people who don't
particularly want their window manager to be too friendly.
wm2 provides:
* Decorative frames for your windows.
* The ability to move, resize, hide and restore windows.
* No icons.
* No configurable root menus, buttons or mouse or keyboard bindings.
* No virtual desktop, toolbars or integrated applications.
Xtacy, a Graphics Hack for X11 windows
--------------------------------------
"Wow! This is better than snorting caffeine!" --Neil Braun
Xtacy is a graphics hack which I've been, well, hacking on, for 2 or 3
years now. It's been compiled on DECstations 3100, SGI running IRIX 5.3,
and Linux boxen. I think someone got it running on a Sun once, but it
had problems with the circle draw function, so a couple of the modes
looked quite odd. Not that odd is bad. Just odd.
So what does it do? Xtacy displays bouncing shapes, rotating palettes,
a couple fractals, a kaleidascope, and lots of more stuff.
This port allows you to operate TiMidity++ with X11AMP skins.
Please prepare skins and set environment variable.
Ex.
% setenv timidity_skin ~/.x11amp/Skins/timidity/
Formerly, the original version of this program was written by Tuuka
Toivonen(until version 0.2i).
Now, Masanao Izumo and many hackers are developing "TiMidity++".
Ideal's The Missing Link, a 4x4 puzzle, riding on the wave of Rubik's
Cube craze. There are many variations on this theme, including the "6x6"
puzzle and Babylon Tower. What makes the Missing Link a harder puzzle to
solve is that the 2 center positions rotate together.
USBHotkey allows you to catch USB keyboard events (key press and release
events) and transform them into X11 keyboard events using a Ruby script.
This provides mechanism for creating keymaps that can be more complicated
than the standard table-based keymap approach of X11.
X-CD-roast is an X11 based CD-burner. You can burn Audio and Data
CD-ROMs. It can be used to extract data and audio tracks.
You can format CD-RWs, create ISO images, burn ISO images, and many
other stuff...
Note: It uses cdrecord and works only on SCSI drives.
XSel is a command-line program for getting and setting the contents of
the X selection. Normally this is only accessible by manually
highlighting information and pasting it with the middle mouse button.
This port is similar to x11/xsel, but with different CLI syntax and
a bit more functionality. It is a lot more popular, too.
From The README:
Xblackjack is a MOTIF/OLIT based tool constructed to get you ready for the
casino. It was inspired by a book called "Beat the Dealer" by Edward O.
Thorp, Ph.D. of UCLA. A number of important statistics are maintained for
display, and used by the program to implement Thorp's "Complete Point System"
(high-low system).
Beginners can learn a basic strategy which doesn't require counting. The
best strategy employs a simple card counting technique which can be used to
distinguish favorable situations. Avid players can learn to compute Thorp's
high-low index, which takes the number of unseen cards into account.
The index is used by the program to suggest a bet, indicate when you should
buy insurance, and whether you should stand or hit, etc. You can test the
strategy using a slider to control "autoplay mode". Pressing the message
button below the playing area provides hints; the current count, index
and strategy table are revealed.
Xjewel is a dropping block game akin to tetris.
It is played by controlling the motion of blocks which continue to fall from
the top of the screen. One can move them left and right, as well as
rotate the jewel segments. The object is to get the most points before
the grim reaper ends the fun.
Death happens when the screen is no longer capable of holding any more
blocks. To make high scores more interesting, you are given but three
attempts to get points -- use them wisely.
As the game progresses, and more jewels are removed, the speed of the game
will increase. This is measured in seconds of delay between steps of
block motion.
