MAMEJumpFlash had to be useful for something: this is it I think; covering just about every old-school arcade game with a jump option all rendered in time to Van Halen's "Jump". Last Updated: 1 June 2004 |

Dismount!If you used to configure your train set purely for the purpose of simulating dramatic crashes into stations or over mis-set points (as I may have done), then you should find these dismounting games fun too. Good physics simulation too... Last Updated: 1 June 2004 |

Bruce Schneier's CryptogramBruce Schneier is the author of the excellent Applied Cryptography, which is still the best resource for information on cryptographic algorithms and security. He also publishes Cryptogram, a monthly newsletter which I can't recommend highly enough. Last Updated: 1 June 2004 |

LAME - Lame Ain't an MP3 EncoderLAME is a the source code for a fully GPL licenced MP3 encoder, which has both the speed and quality to rival commercial MP3 encoders. Since the project's inception in 1998 the code has been regularly improved and the feature list now includes MPEG 1, 2 and 2.5 layer III encoding, constant (CBR) and variable (VBR and ABR) bit-rate encoding and psycho-acoustic noise-shaping. Note that the project is distributed as C source only, however, you can obtain a binary version of the encoder by downloading CDEx. Last Updated: 25 April 2004 |

CDExCDEx is a very nice tool for CD ripping which has been developped continually since 1998. Tracklisting is provided through FreeDb.org and audio files can be encoded in a wide variety of formats including MP3, Ogg Vorbis, Monkey's Audio as well as to standard WAV files. There are also some nice batch encode/decode screens for translating between audio formats. Last Updated: 25 April 2004 |

wsh Utilities and ScriptsIf you ever wanted to do anything interesting with the Windows Scripting Host then this is the place to go. Everything from a lightweight forms packages and lots of controls to use with it to an API toolkit that you can call from the scripting host. Combined with a humorous editorial line and a smattering of vbAccelerator code you'll probably not find much better. Last Updated: 7 November 2003 |

Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS)If you haven't had enough options for installation systems already, then check this one out. Developed to support Winamp this is an excellent, tiny installer (adds only 20-40k overhead to the compressed data) and supports everything you'd want to do, not to mention providing a, cough, "lovely coding experience with elements of PHP and assembly". Very widely used (visit the users page and follow some links - some very interesting applications and coding tools to be found). Last Updated: 7 November 2003 |

FCKeditor - RichText Editing for IECracking open source (GNU LGPL) DHTML-based editor for IE users, with ASP, ASP.NET, Javascript and IE Behaviour implementations to support it. This gives you all the editing facilities you'll need, has a good looking toolbar and is well on the way to having full international support. I kinda like the name, too...
