SpriteWorld is an extensive Open Source collection of powerful routines Mac programmers can use to implement smooth, fast sprite animation in games and other applications.
The features lend themselves to the creation of nearly any kind of 2D game, particularly those that are action oriented as SpriteWorlds routines are highly optimized for speed.
SpriteWorld comes with complete source code in C, so you can study the code to gain a further understanding of how SpriteWorld works, or change areas you want to work differently.
SpriteWorld contains very thorough Inside-Mac style documentation. As well, many demos are available that show how to use almost every aspect of SpriteWorld, including one demo that is a complete game.
Features:
- Support for Carbon development while still supporting "Classic"
- Hardware accelerated drawing (through OpenGL in Carbon and RAVE in Classic)
- An unlimited number of sprites of any size
- Time-based animation making it possible to have smooth animation independent of frame rate
- Sprite storage in variety of formats (PICT or RLE resouces or any type of graphic file that Quicktime can handle)
- Pixel-precise collision detection
- Special effects via. custom blitters, including alphamasking, rotating, scaling and additive blending
- Fast scrolling
- Simple yet effective sound handling.

Bible Buddy 2.1.0 is an ideal way to help you study the Bible with focus on two powerful features - easy navigation and using bookmarks with comments. Bible Buddy includes the full text of the King James Version of the Bible. There are multiple ways to navigate through the Bible (including jumping directly to any verse) and you can bookmark passages with ease. Bookmarks are added to a drop-down menu for easy use. Bookmarks can include free-form comments of any size. Bookmarks and comments are saved for use in future sessions.

Listen! is a tool designed for those of you who listening to certain sounds brings back memories or brings you particular pleasure? For some, that might be a dinner bell, a train whistle or the call of the loon in the wild.

That is called an audible anchor. Listen! helps you repeat that experience any time you wish. Listen! can also be used as a friendly timer to let you know your study time, nap time, exercise time, etc., is up.

When you launch Listen? you see a small, simple Control Window with two pushbuttons. Click on the "Setup" button to bring up the Setup Window.

The Setup Window provides a choice of three modes plus sliders to set the time between sounds (ten seconds to sixty minutes).

When you first launch Listen! a folder titled "ListenSounds" is placed in the Users/~/Documents folder. (On Windows XP, this folder is created in the My Documents folder.) Wav sound files with a ".wav" prefix placed in that folder are used by this application.

When you next launch Listen! these sound files will be recognized and used.

Simulum is a project that deals with different simulations of star movements and their visualizations. At first we look at the projection and accumulation of star brightness.

In actually doing this we have to distribute stars among a three dimensional figure. To get a nice effect we combine the photographic image production with a moving view point.

So we get the visual impression of flying through a star field.

Secondly we will study different algorithms of particle movements and clustering. The primary approach will use a combination of Newtons gravitational law, energy and impulse conservation.

At all these stages an highly dynamic view of the processes could be produced and will lead at least to interesting screen savers...

Note: Now you could start the main program by calling (or maybe just clicking)
java -jar lib/mulumis.jar

Anki Stream is a tool for long-term flash card review, mostly necessary when learning foreign languages.
Like Piotr Wozniaks SuperMemo, Damien Elmes Anki, and the Mnemosyne Project, it schedules flash cards for review using spaced repetition, allowing thousands and tens of thousands of words to be remembered over years and decades. Anki Stream focuses in particular on presenting an intuitive visualization of how cards are scheduled and making the scheduling formula transparent and adjustable by the user.

The Problem
Do you need to memorize a ton of stuff and keep it in your mind for a long time? Flash cards work well for memorizing new words in a foreign language or other small chunks of information.
If you review them frequently, the flash cards can also keep the words or info chunks fresh in your mind over long periods of time, even if you dont use them often in daily life.
But when you are studying intensively for a big foreign language exam, like I am right now for the level 1 JLPT, there are so many new words to learn that without a smart, automatic method of organizing your flash cards for review, your card pile will quickly grow out of hand and become useless.
For example, the level 1 JLPT requires that you learn about 10,000 Japanese words, mostly written in the 2000 or so characters of the general use kanji, no less.
So if you have 10,000 flash cards in front of you, how do you review them? When you sit down to review, you need to know which of your thousands of cards to study right now, and which you still remember well enough to not waste time on.

Main features:
- Human or machine readable xml file format.
- Import/export to comma-delimited text files for faster card editing and swapping.
- Instantly switch between languages (right now just Japanese and English) via the Help menu!

Enhancements
- Fixing "review" kanji in Japanese text.
