ZINC

ZINC ("ZINC Is Not CoreWar") is a variant of the game of Core War in which programmes (called "warriors") fight in a battle to take control of a virtual computer. The warriors are written in a simple language called Redcode and are run by a tool called Memory Array Redcode Simulator (MARS). ZINC is Free Software licenced under the GNU General Public Licence (GPL). The ZINC User Manual includes a short tutorial that teaches you the basics of Core War. The current version of ZINC is 0.1 and runs on at least Linux and Windows.

Virtual Taj Mahal

This is an interactive 3D walkthrough of the famous Taj Mahal in Agra, India. It is based on the original demo published by Intel India, from where I took the 3D models and textures - the original demo was coded by D Sanjit and the models were created by VR Real Technologies. The programme uses OpenGL/SDL and runs on Windows and Linux - please read the included 'README' for more details. I hope you like it.
