Projects

Growl

Growl is a notification system for Mac OS X: it allows applications that support Growl to send you notifications.

The MacPorts Project

The MacPorts Project's main goal is to provide an easy way to install various open-source software products on the Darwin OS family, with Mac OS X being the primary target. There are currently over 8000 ports available, with more being added on a regular basis.

Fink

The Fink project wants to bring the full world of Unix Open Source software to Darwin and Mac OS X. It modifies Unix software so that it compiles and runs on Mac OS X and makes it available for download as a coherent distribution. Fink uses Debian tools like dpkg and apt-get to provide powerful ... [More] binary package management. You can choose whether you want to download pre-compiled binary packages or build everything from source. [Less]

MacFUSE

MacFUSE implements a mechanism that makes it possible to implement a fully functional file system in a user-space program on Mac OS X (10.4 and above). It aims to be API-compliant with the FUSE (File-system in USErspace) mechanism that originated on Linux. Therefore, many existing FUSE file systems ... [More] become readily usable on Mac OS X. The core of MacFUSE is in a dynamically loadable kernel extension. Although MacFUSE has a completely different kernel-level implementation from Linux FUSE, it supports the FUSE specification well enough that many popular FUSE file systems can be easily compiled and work on Mac OS X--often out of the box.

Irrlicht Engine

The Irrlicht Engine is a high performance real-time 3D engine written and usable in C++, and also available for .NET languages. It is completely cross-platform, using D3D, OpenGL, and its own software renderers.

Clutter Toolkit

Clutter is an open source (LGPLv2.1+) software library for creating fast, compelling, portable, and dynamic graphical user interfaces. It is a core part of MeeGo, and is supported by the open source community. Its development is sponsored by Intel. Clutter uses OpenGL for rendering (and ... [More] optionally OpenGL|ES for use on mobile and embedded platforms), but wraps an easy to use, efficient, flexible API around GL's complexity. Clutter enforces no particular user interface style, but provides a rich, generic foundation for higher-level toolkits tailored to specific needs. [Less]

Qt 5

Qt is a cross-platform application and UI framework. Using Qt, you can write applications once and deploy them across many desktop and embedded operating systems without rewriting the source code.

OpenTK

The Open Toolkit (OpenTK) is a free, fast, cross-platform C# wrapper for OpenGL, OpenGL ES, OpenAL and OpenCL. The bindings are strongly-typed and contain inline documentation for improved security and coding speed. Additional utilities integrate the bindings with .Net, making OpenTK especially ... [More] suited to Rapid Application Development. OpenTK can be used alone or integrated into GUI toolkits, like Windows.Forms and GTK#. It runs on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X without recompilation, is easy to deploy and is compatible with all .Net languages: C#, VB.Net, C++/CLI, F#, IronPython, Boo, ... [Less]

X-Chat Aqua

X-Chat Aqua is X-Chat with an Aqua interface for MacOS X. X-Chat Aqua uses the irc engine from X-Chat, and is designed to look and feel like the GTK+ front end.

Thousand Parsec

claimed by KDE

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 eXterminate. Some examples of games which Thousand Parsec ... [More] 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]
