What is this page, anyway?

As the summary mentions above, this Project List page is a list of all current, future, old and obsolete projects.

This actually lists all home projects I've worked on. Some are just ideas what were never developed, other were ideas that I tried to think about (i.e. write some specs for) and may or may not have implemented. Each project has a starting date and no completion date (on purpose, as they are always open, sort of.) All projects also have status up-to-date information and sometimes milestones dates.

Most projects link to more descriptive pages.

It is important to understand that some projects are just "ideas". Some I may have thought about and just abandoned them. Some may get revived later (unlikely though). This is more a list of possible project ideas than actually available projects.

Aproxy

So the idea is mostly to see if the modular spec really holds its promise and if Java can really provide an efficient implementation of such.
Note: There is no garantee that this development will actually produce anything real anyway. Although it is called "RIG 2", it does not obsolete RIG 1.

Status: Vaporware.

Tacet

Description: A toy ray-casting engine. Used by Nerdkill 3d. Never started nor even specified.

VideoShooter

Description: Grabber & player running under BeOS.
Language: C++.
Platform: Player running (bugging) under Windows. Based on RLib.
Status: Unpublished due to absence of GUI but otherwise a prototype was really implemented.

RLib

Description: A portable library. It's the core classes for all my new projects. The lib gives a uniform class canvas that allows for programming on BeOS (R3 Intel and R3 PPC) and on Windows. AmigaOS port is possible and a Linux port would be cool. Almost done (at least at the conception level). Unpublished dreamware.
Language: C++.

Status: Unpublished, unfinished.

Nerdkill

Status: v1.0 x86 & PPC: 1998/09/01

Pegase

Description: A version control and source archiving project, based on a client/server model.

Note: The result of a brainstorming between JMO, LP, XD and me.
Status: Never started. Frozen to death.

ShellMe

Description: ShellMe is my last Tracker add-on. It allows you to preset several command line dealing with files. Then you can easily apply the defined commands to a file, a directory or several of them with a simple mouse click without quitting the comfortable Tracker. This add-on is still under developement, I only coded the part I really needed. I have planned a lot of options and a nice GUI that would allow you to add commands without need for an extensive command-line knowlegde, but that's still to be done.
Language: C++.
Status:

v0.1.0: 1998/04/21
Suspended.

ExpandMe

Description: ExpandMe is the precursor of the native BeOS tool Expander. It allows you to expand compressed files with just one click or a keypress. It's a Tracker add-on, which means its use is pretty straightforward : just select the file and select ExpandMe in the File>Add-ons menu!
Language: C++.
Status: Indefinitely suspended. Updated from time to time.

v0.6.0: 1997/08/08
v0.5.0: 1997/06/04

ZipMe

Description: ZipMe is the coolest way to zip files and directories directly from the BeOS Tracker. Once ZipMe and the zip binary installed, you just need to right-click on a file and select ZipMe in the add-on context menu.
Language: C++.
Status: Indefinitely suspended. Updated from time to time.
