TPF engine test release

This is a test release of my up-and-coming Wolfenstein 3D/Doom style graphics engine.

Z

A 7 year old space shooter of mine that has now been rewritten in C. It's still a demo though, and is likely to share its name with several other space shooters, all of which are better in every possible way.

Absolutely

A small module to fix some memory allocation issues with the Wimp in RISC OS 4 and below.

Funge-98 interpreter

All-singing, all-dancing WIMP Befunge interpreter. Can also be compiled as a console app for non-RISC OS machines.

FreeUEF

A quick RISC OS port of FreeUEF release 3. Source included.

GetKeyboard

A little BASIC program I wrote to control the USB switchbox I'm using to share a keyboard. It toggles the scroll lock key once on and off, to grab the attention of the box. I can't use the keyboard to do this directly as the switchbox I'm using only responds to requests from machines other than the one currently in control of the USB device. Once downloaded, settype to BASIC.

Grab Error

A small module to aid debugging by logging the most recent error and a snapshot of the program that caused it.

QTeM

A module that maps TrackerModule *commands and SWIs to their QTMModule equivalents, so that TrackerModule-based games can retain sound and music on modern machines.

skopt

Tool for automating some aspects of preparing RiscPkg packages and indexes for distribution.

spr2bbc

A BASIC program (and C equivalent) for converting RISC OS Sprites to raw files suitable for loading into BBC video memory. The C version is undoubtedly faster, but completely untested. Usage:

spr2bbc <infile> <outfile>

Accepts 1bpp, 2bpp, 4bpp sprites as input; only the first sprite in the spritefile will be converted.

spr2tiles

A quick C program for cutting sprites up into equal-size tiles

srcrename and rsrcrename

Tools for renaming source trees from Unix to RISC OS form and vice-versa. Created after discovering that the RISC OS zip/unzip sources were dependent on a binary srcrename tool that was no longer maintained (and wasn't 32bit compatible).

TSL

A RISC OS port of Telnet Scripting Language. Source included.

LimpX/WOUM

An ever-growing C library for WIMP programming, 3D graphics, 2D graphics, fixed point math, debugging, memory management, cheese grating, and coffee making.

An old BASIC program to perform LZW compression.

ARMv7-safe 'unzip'

VNC server

A RISC OS VNC server which I appear to have taken over development of.

ARM code for beginners

Much like the above, a series of old BASIC programs which simulate blobby 'things'.

Typo

A small selection of modules that intercept the keyboard input and manipulate it to produce deliberate spelling mistakes, funny messages, etc.
