Thousand Parsec is not only a game by itself, it is also a framework for creating a similar group of turn-based space empire building games, which are often called 4X games, from the main phases found in them: eXplore, eXpand, eXploit and ... [More] eXterminate. Some examples of games which Thousand Parsec draws ideas from are Stars!, VGA Planets, Reach for the Stars, Master of Orion and Galactic Civilizations. The idea is that a protocol is specified which defines how game servers and game clients communicate with each other. Protocol also specifies which objects are available for custom games or rulesets, which can have different rules of gamplay. Any client should be able to connect with any server and player should be able to play any game with it. [Less]

PHP-Qt is a language binding for Qt that allows you to write Qt application with the PHP language. Its goal is being a base and supplement for further bindings such as Akonadi, Plasma and other KDE related software as well as enabling PHP developers ... [More] to write desktop applications. PHP version 5, with its new object oriented features, turned into a language that can be used for writing desktop software. A widely believed legend says PHP is a web-oriented language, but in truth the language itself cannot be web oriented, in contrast to an interpreter, such as the Zend engine which is focused on web environments. We support Zend engine, but also we're working on support for the Roadsend Compiler which gives users the capability to compile their software into binaries. [Less]
