PsychoPy 1.00.02
An open-source package for creating psychology stimuli in Python (a real and free alternative to Matlab) more>> An open-source package for creating psychology stimuli in Python (a real and free alternative to Matlab)
PsychoPy will combine the easy Python syntax with the graphical strengths of OpenGL to give psychophysics a free and simple stimulus presentation and control package.
The goal is to provide, for the busy scientist (including me!), tools to control timing and windowing and a simple set of pre-packaged stimuli and methods. The code is platform independent, using Python and C libraries that are widely available.
Main features:
- Platform independent (tested on OS X and Windows)
- Simple syntax (see the demo code)
- Freeware (and based on totally free libraries)
- Uses hardware-accelerated graphics (OpenGL)
- Integration with CRS Bits++(for 14bit luminance resolution)
- Integration with Spectrascan PR650 for easy monitor calibration
- Simple routines for staircase and constant stimuli experimental methods as well as curve-fitting and bootstrapping (these are not the only things you can do - they are just the ones that Ive included so far within the package)
- Simple (or complex) GUIs via wxPython
- Easy interfaces to joysticks, mice, keyboards
- Easy interface to parallel and serial ports
- Unicode text rendering in any TrueType font
- Multi-monitor support
- Plays movies (mpg, DivX, avi, QuickTime...) as stimuli
CocoaBornes 1.0.1
CocoaBornes is a recreation of the classic French game of Mille Bornes more>>
I remember playing the game of Mille Bornes first on the Mac as a shareware program by Greg Abbas, which was originally written in ThinkC in 1992. I didnt realize it was a card game until a couple of weeks before I made this version you are hopefully about to play. I had been working on a game called Chessera for the uDevGames competition, but the guy who was getting me artwork darkbolt.com is a pretty busy guy, so by the time I got some to work with, I didnt have much time left. I suppose I could have submitted it, but I really wanted it to be complete.
I then got a hankering to play Mille Bornes again when I saw the actual card game for sale in a catalog, but was loath to launch classic just to do so. "Well," I thought to myself, "you have experience with card games from your dismal failure HunterCard, and youve been programming a whole year since then, why not whip up another card game, a really GOOD one, for this years contest?"
So I did. I challenged myself, with only 21 days to go, to recreate Mille Bornes for Mac OS X. Less then a week later, I had succeeded. Man, is Cocoa great, or what?
I really feel this is my best work yet, and although I did lift some of the interface from the original, I think Ive improved upon it as well. The game looks good, plays well, and I can play a great game without classic, and setting my monitor back to 256 colors. Have you ever tried Mac OS X in 256? Yuck!
This program is free, of course, and source is available after the uDevGames contest is over. See http://idevgames.com for more information. I will accept any donations if you really like it. Mail me at rziefel@rochester.rr.com if you want to ask about something, or want to give me tons o cash, or have a bug report, or a feature request. If tons o cash does show up at my door I will of course thank you profusely, before I pass out from shock.
Enhancements:

my-e-Ob 2.4
my-e-Ob - Calendar of events for pregnant women more>>
my-e-Ob is intended to provide a newly diagnosed pregnant woman with a "Calendar of Events" regarding her pregnancy and development of her unborn child.
The information provided, concise and well-laid out on a single sheet of paper is like a "Quick Reference Guide" for the weeks ahead, and is very informative especially for the first time expecting, mother-to-be.
The General Practitioner or midwife who provides antenatal care would find it particularly useful, and even more so, the busy ObGyn will also welcome it, since, at the time of registration, the Nurse can have this information, personalized, (ncluding Rhesus negtive, Diabetics, multiparity and women over 40), to the patient, in a matter of seconds, and the expectant mother-to-be can go through it while in the waiting room.
When registered, the registration reminder will be disabled and the printed output can be customized by the user to his/her own preference.
Enhancements:
- Greatly improved user interface
- All known bug fixed.
Spree 0.8.3
Rails-based open source commerce solution more>> Rails-based open source commerce solution
Spree is a complete open source commerce solution for Ruby on Rails. Spree should run on any database supported by Rails. So far it has been tested on MySQL, PostgreSql and Sqlite3.
You can customize Spree as much as you wish through extensions. The idea is that you build a single custom extension that would contain all of the things that would normally be contained in your app directory.
Spree will load these models, views and controllers in preference over the ones that normally ship with Spree. So its easy to add your own custom logic, etc. once you have a basic understanding of this process.
NOTE: Spree is licensed and distributed under the terms of the New BSD License.
Main features:
- Ruby on Rails Support: Spree is distributed as a Ruby on Rails gem. It supports the latest version of Rails (2.1) and it can be frozen to your deployed Spree application as well. You use the gem to create your application which automatically installs the plugin in your project. The newly created project is actually a fully functional store. All that remains is for the developer to customize and style to taste.
- Completely Customizable Views: Spree applications utilize an extension mechanism which allows developers to override existing views or to provide new ones. The real power of this approach is that it allows custom development for each client application without forking the Spree code. Users will be able to upgrade to newer versions of Spree without losing their custom views. This is much more powerful then simply providing a stylesheet for the developer to override (although that approach is supported as well.)
- Customizable via Extensions: The Spree extension mechanism allows for more then just customized views and stylesheets. Developers can also provide additional models, migrations and controllers. Developers can also replace or mixin additional functionality to the existing controllers. Spree users are encouraged to collaborate with one another and share their custom extensions with the rest of the community.
- Payment Gateways: Spree supports all of the major payment gateways via the popular Active Merchant plugin. We are busy adding new gateway and integration support. Our top priority is to get all of the PayPal options working along with Google Checkout.
- Custom Tax Logic: Spree ships with a few basic tax calculators but it is anticipated that you may need to write your own custom tax logic. Rather then trying to guess the exact tax rules you are going to need, Spree provides you the hooks to write your own. Thanks to the power of Ruby, it is possible to model your tax logic in just a few lines of code.
- Powerful Inventory Model: Spree also provides a highly sophisticated inventory model. Inventory is tracked at the variant level and a flexible system for handling backorders is also provided. Users with simple inventory needs will not have to concern themselves with the more complex features. Advanced users will be able to track units of inventory on a per record basis which allows for the physical tracking of each unit of inventory as it moves through the order fulfillment process.
- Git and Github: Spree uses Git to manage its source code. When you combine this with the wildly popular Github service you have the best set of collaborative tools available for any open source commerce project out there.
- International Support: Thanks to some recent contributions from volunteers, Spree now has basic i18n support. Basic functionaltiy for changing the language and currency are included in the upcoming 0.3.0 release. Basic VAT support will also be part of the next release. This support is literally being improved by the day so drop by the #spree channel or the spree-user group to see how things are going (or to lend a hand.)
- SEO Permalinks: Spree also offers handy SEO permalinks for your products.
