A multiplatform vector drawing program with a complete library of electronic symbols. Schematics and drawings are stored in a very compact text format. There is no netlist concept behind the drawings (so no simulation, and this is a choice) but this allows a great graphical flexibility and ease of use, making FidoCadJ the perfect tool for exchange sketches in forum and newsgroup discussions with a few clicks. Drawings can be exported in several graphic formats, such as pdf. Follow the development live on Twitter: https://twitter.com/davbucci

AutoREALM is a free role-playing game mapping program originally made by Andrew Gryc. This program is an excellent mapping program that can design castles, caves, cities, dungeons and more. New developers are more than welcome! Previously, development were using Delphi language. Some attempts to rewrite it in other languages were done, but currently (since January 2012) there is an attempt or rewrite using those technologies: _ C++11 _ wxWidgets 2.9 (will be 3.0 when it will be released) _ openGL _ pluma framework (a fixed version located on bitbucket) The design of the actual C++ code-base primarily targets clean source code and high modularity of source code, to allow easy reuse of the code and fast learning for people who might join the effort. Current development is located on https://bitbucket.org/bmorel/autorealm . Howerver, older repositories are still here in case someone would like to consult them, and to allow easy access to algorithms they might contain.

purecss-francine is a remarkable artistic and technical project created by Cyan Harlow, demonstrating how complex digital illustrations can be achieved using only HTML and CSS, without any JavaScript or images. The artwork, titled Francine, is a detailed portrait crafted purely through CSS shapes, gradients, and layering techniques. It showcases the expressive potential of front-end technologies and serves as both an educational example and a piece of digital art. The project emphasizes precision, creativity, and the boundaries of what is possible within web standards. Every visual element—from facial features to textures—is rendered using handcrafted CSS properties, illustrating advanced concepts in styling and layout manipulation. As a result, purecss-francine stands as a powerful example of CSS mastery, inspiring developers and designers to explore the artistic capabilities of code.
