PLAYSTATION 3 Bluetooth Remote driver for Linux

directhex — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 12:24:06 +0000

This script, written in Python, enables you to control a Linux-based PC using Sony’s PLAYSTATION 3 remote (capitalization theirs not mine). For a video of the remote in action, see here. Python’s certainly not my language of choice, but it is based on a previous script downloaded from here, which itself is based on a previous script for the Nintendo Wii remote from here.

Bob the Robot – scribbly old undergrad code

directhex — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 12:13:23 +0000

We were tasked, when I was an undergrad, with a 3D graphics project: “Make an animation about a robot”. I rather liked my effort, so I’ve attached it here. Requires a C compiler, and GLUT headers/libraries. Ought to be happy on Windows, Linux or Mac (no Mac binary included though)

Doomsday Kickstart for Linux

directhex — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 12:06:26 +0000

Doomsday is my favorite Doom engine replacement. It makes the game look really rather pretty. However, the command-line parameters are a pain. The Windows version of Doomsday used to come with a simple Visual Basic UI called “Kickstart”, and I ported it to Linux using GTK2-Perl. I believe there’s a new UI for both versions now, but Kickstart is much simpler for basic configurations.
