mng
MNG Player 1.0b1
MNG Player - Simple player for Multiple-image Network Graphics more>>
The MNG format takes the popular PNG image format, and uses it as the basis for an animation format. Roughly speaking, MNG is to PNG as Animated GIFs are to ordinary GIFs.
The MNG compression scheme is particularly well-suited for synthetic image sequences, particularly screen-captures. This makes it ideally suited as a replacement for the much less efficient Animation and Graphics codec which are currently used by QuickTime. The compression achieved by MNG for screen-capture sequences is typically a factor of 5 to 10 times better than the Animation codec, with no loss in quality.
Most of the spec is supported, with the following exceptions:
There are issues with colour-matching using sRGB chunks.
Alpha support on JNG images is not complete.
MNG Component 1.0b5
MNG Component - QuickTime components for playing MNG documents more>>
MNG files are not particularly widespread, so the main goal is not to support MNG files per se. Rather the intention is to use MNG as a superior compression algorithm for sequences of computer-generated images such as screen captures.
MNG allows for much greater compression than the Animation and Graphics codecs which have been standard parts of QuickTime for the past decade.
Main features:
- The ImageCodec allows QuickTime to create movie files which uses the MNG codec for encoding video data. These MNG tracks can be played back and edited just like any other QuickTime video track.
- The MovieImporter allows QuickTime-savvy applications to import MNG documents in place.
- The GraphicsImporter allows QuickTime-savvy applications to import MNG files as still images.
- The MovieExporter allows the video track of any QuickTime movies to be exported as a MNG document.
Visual Component Framework 0.6.5
Advanced C++ application framework that makes it easy to produce powerful Mac OS X applications in C++ more>> Advanced C++ application framework that makes it easy to produce powerful Mac OS X applications in C++
Visual Component Framework is a based on a thoroughly modern C++ design and has built in support for Rapid Application Development (RAD).
The Visual Component Framework framework is designed to be portable over multiple compilers and platforms, so you dont have to lose all that work that went into writing your app for a single platform!
Main features:>
- Modern C++ design - use of modern C++ techniques like exceptions, templates (where useful), name spaces, and heavy use of the Standard Template Library.
- Advanced RTTI features that allow for such things as dynamic object creation given a registered class name or a registered UUID string that represents the class, dynamic introspection of a given objects class and listing such data as the class name, super class, the properties of the class, member methods, and implemented interfaces.
- Modular - built across several libraries as opposed to one huge monolithic library that then becomes difficult to break apart. This means that while the VCF is incredibly powerful as a framework for writing GUI based applications, if you just want to use the core features, such as threads, file IO, and RTTI you can do so, without having to have dependencies on all the GUI code.
- Easy to use, and powerful event system, suitable for console as well as GUI based applications.
- Support for Thread, Mutexes, Semaphores, Files, Streaming data, error logging, string utility functions, and other basic services. All of this is part of the FoundationKit and has no dependencies on the graphics or UI code.
- Powerful and easy to use graphics classes, plus more advanced support for anti aliased vector graphics through the use the AntiGrain Graphics libraries.
- A simple to use image loading architecture that allows multiple formats to be registered dynamically, for loading up a variety of different graphics formats. On Win32 systems the default image loading support is limited to BMP files, but by using the ImageFormats library (also a part of the VCF) a wide variety of additional image types are also supported. Currently the ImageFormats library uses FreeImage to support a image types such as .TIFF, .TGA, .PSD, .PNG, .PCX, .SGI, .MNG, .RAS, .PBM, .PPM. and many others.
- More advanced classes for customizing the drawing process by extending Stroke and Fill classes.
- A complete set of powerful GUI classes, including a common set of base classes enabling advanced custom control creation. Some of the control classes include tree controls, list controls, check box and radio controls, push buttons, single line and multi line text controls, and many others.
- A standard set of application classes for things like resources, loading windows or forms dynamically at application startup, saving of application state, a registry class for common storage of system and application information.
- Other application classes include an Undo/Redo architecture based on commands that allows for undoing and redoing commands as well as notifying other objects of the events.
- GUI controls that support both alignment and anchoring. Any control may be aligned to the top, bottom, left or right of its parent container control. Alternately controls may use their anchoring properties to anchor themselves to the left, right, top and/or bottom sides of their parent container control. In addition to control alignment, it is possible to write custom layout containers and assign them to a control to customize layout logic.
- The ApplicationKit provides a set of Model and View classes for using in MVC patterns. A series of models like the ListModel, TreeModel, and TextModel are used in controls to provide separation of the data from the UI presentation code. Because a View can be dynamically attached to a Control at runtime, it will be possible to develop "themes" in the future.
- Because of the RTTI features and the event handlers, the VCF easily supports component programming with in IDE that allow for visual development.
- The VCF tries to be as flexible as possible, allowing you to use the parts you want, and allowing for inter-operability with other frameworks. Thus VCF controls can be used inside of an MFC application if you like, or only use the graphics module for enhanced graphics features.
- No need of special preprocessor tools - if you have a reasonably complete C++ compiler then youre all set to go.
- The ability to access the low level handles for most native objects. For example, by accessing the Threads peer class, you can get a handle to the native thread handle itself. For a control, you can access the controls peer and get a handle id that represents the windowing systems native handle for a window/widget. This allows you to use platform specific calls when necessary.
Enhancements:
- This is the very first src release of the Mac OS X port of the VCF. It should build and run some of the examples, but is obviously very much still a work in progress.
MacMame 0.103u2
MacMame - Original arcade game emulator more>>
MacMAME achieves this by running the original program code found in the arcade games.
As such, it is much more than a reproduction, it is essentially that same game running via an emulated layer inside your Macintosh.
On this site youll find the most current build of MacMAME, information about upcoming versions and instructions for using it.
Please look around and enjoy reliving some of the games that made going to video arcades an enjoyable part of our pop culture.
Enhancements:
- Updated to match Win32 MAME 0.103u1. [Brad Oliver]
- Hopefully fix assorted crashes when using certain extra input devices. [Brad Oliver]
- Carlo Noben has contributed a few new icons. [Carlo Noben]
- Blasto should once again work. [Brad Oliver]
- MNG recording should now work (using a new MacMAME "Movies" folder), although you may need to remap the default keys from Shift-F12 to something else. [Brad Oliver].
