CANNOT - Coyote Annotation. This framework was developed in JAVA and its API's facilitates to the reuse of code and the sharing of information through to the architecture in layers and standard ISO MPEG-7 used for the Digital Video Content Annotations..

The GUCE project aims to provide an engine that can be used for multimedia applications. At first mainly targeted at game development. The affiliated GUCEF project is used as the main platform uppon which GUCE is build.

HIPAcc development has moved to github: https://github.com/hipacc HIPAcc allows to design image processing kernels and algorithms in a domain-specific language (DSL). From this high-level description, low-level target code for GPU accelerators is generated using source-to-source translation. As back ends, the framework supports CUDA, OpenCL, and Renderscript. HIPAcc allows programmers to develop imaging applications while providing high productivity, flexibility and portability as well as competitive performance: the same algorithm description serves as basis for targeting different GPU accelerators and low-level languages.

Inform 7 is a design system for interactive fiction based on natural language. This is the home of the source code for the Linux graphical port of Inform 7's development environment.

Jadeite Engine is a free cross-platform 3D game development framework. It provides rendering, sound, networking and physics. Please visit the project homepage!

WallSwap is a free, open-source wallpaper rotator for Windows Vista and XP. Similar to Windows 7's wallpaper changer and Firefox's Personas Rotator, WallSwap will allow users the ability to have they own wallpaper slideshow.

Freekode is an open source multi platform implementation of the OpenKODE 1.0 Specification.

Library to connect and download sound samples directly from samples websites (OneShotSamples.com) directly into audio applications (Wavemixer.sf.net).

A hybrid visualization framework for desktops, large immersive displays and the web. A framework for virtual reality and cluster-driven display systems. Requires Python (the pre-installed 2.7 version on OSX and most linux distros works fine, on Windows omegalib comes with python bundled so you don't need this). C++ Build tools for your platform (g++, clang/XCode, Visual Studio 2012/2013 depending on the OS). On windows, the free Visual Studio editions work fine. Modules are optional components that extend omegalib functionality. Enabled modules are automatically downloaded and compiled. A full list of modules can be found in the Omegalib hub. On most platforms, omegalib is distributed as a source-only project. Users are responsible for creating binaries for their operating system and architecture. The build process is kept as simple as possible and should require very little configuration effort by the user. Omegalib can build out-of-the-box and has no external dependencies.
