Tux Dancing

Killer Tux ( Linux vs Windows )

Tux Droid : your smart companion!

Tux Droid is a Linux and Windows wireless Tux  mascot (210mm x 180mm x 140mm - with lowered wings) with a programmable interface, allowing it to announce events by its gestures and by ALSA driven sound. The events are detected by specific gadgets, which are handled by the Tux Gadget Manager. The Tux Droid supports Linux kernel 2.4 or later and needs a 800 MHz CPU and 128 MB RAM. It communicates by infrared to the USB port (1.1 or 2.0) and for media detection it needs an internet connection. The mascot is driven by Atmel AVR  RISC microcontrollers. The new version supports also Windows-based PCs. The Tux Droid can be used at XP and Vista (both at 32 Bit).

Features

The mascot comes with a microphone and an infrared receiver, to perform a 2.4 GHz wireless full-duplex digital link between the USB dongle. The Tux Droid also has a light sensor and a push button on top of the head. Its gestures cover e.g. eye- and wing-movements, while switch sensors in both wings are triggered by pushing the wings. For its sound output there is a volume control wheel to control a speaker and a 3.5mm stereo audio socket for audio out.

The software, which comes with the mascot, so far combines just some primary gadgets (some more are under development, such as a Skype and an AI ALICE chat robot).

Tux Commander - Open Source File Manager

Welcome to the project site of the Tux Commander application.

Tux Commander is a windowed file manager with 2 panels side by side similar to popular Total Commander or Midnight Commander file managers. The main goal of this project is to create powerful and user friendly file manager for Unix operating systems.

General features:
# Graphical application, uses GTK2 windowing toolkit
# Two directory panels side by side (vertical)
# Tabbed interface, buttons for quick access to favorite places
# Configurable mounter bar for quick access to removable media and network shares
# Multilingual user interface
# Basic VFS (Virtual File System) support, allowing you to browse archives and network places
# Extendable via plugin system, several VFS modules available in the distribution
# Portable, no installation required, usable right after the extraction
# Designed for GNOME and XFCE desktop environments while preserving complete independency (libraries are loaded dynamically when available)
# Extension-based file type actions (associations)
# Threaded file operations
# Large files (> 4GB) support
# Main application written in Object Pascal language (with FreePascal as default compiler), plugins are written in C/C++ language
# Sources available in GIT repository

Using Object Pascal language might be considered as limiting factor, however we recently switched to FreePascal compiler, solving many compatibility issues. Also, the x86_64 port was introduced and is officially supported as well as the i386 platform. PowerPC port is working, though issues may appear. Kylix compatibility will be still maintained.

This project uses Pascal GTK2 bindings from the gtk2 for pascal project, which are now part of FreePascal v2.0 distribution.

SuperTuxKart - Open Source Tux Games

SuperTuxKart is a Free  3d kart racing game; we want to make the game fun more than we want to make it realistic. You can play with up to 4 friends on one PC, racing against each other or just try to beat the computer. (a network multiplayer feature is planned)

See the great lighthouse or drive through the sand and visit the pyramids. Race underground or in space, watching the stars passing by. Have some rest under the palms on the beach (watching the other karts overtaking you :) ). But don't eat the bananas! Watch for bowling balls, plungers, bubble gum and cakes thrown by opponents.

You can do a single race against other karts, compete in one of several Grand Prix, try to beat the high score in time trials on your own, play battle mode against your friends, and more!

Tux Paint - Open Source Drawing Software for Children

Tux Paint is a free, award-winning  drawing program for children ages 3 to 12 (for example, preschool and K-6). It combines an easy-to-use interface, fun sound effects, and an encouraging cartoon mascot who guides children as they use the program.

Features

Multi-Platform

Works on Mac OS X (Intel and PPC), Windows (Windows95 through Vista), Linux and other systems.
Simple Interface

    * A number of useful drawing tools are made available. (See Drawing Tools, below.)
    * The drawing canvas is a fixed size, so the user doesn't need to worry about 'pixels' or 'inches' when making a new picture.
    * The entire program fits on a screen as small as 640x480, and can be displayed full-screen, to hide the computer's underlying 'desktop' interface. (It defaults to 800x600 mode, but can run at larger sizes and in portrait or landscape mode, as well.)
    * Loading and saving of images is done using thumbnails, so no knowledge of the underlying operating system's filesystem structure is needed. Even filenames are unnecessary.

Entertaining Interface

    * Fun sound effects are played when tools are selected and used.
    * A cartoon version of Tux, the Linux penguin, appears at the bottom to give tips, hints and information.

    * The Print and Quit options can be disabled.
    * Alternatively, the Print option can be limited to allow only one print every n minutes.
    * Tux Paint cannot be launched more than once every 30 seconds, to prevent multiple copies from being run accidentally, due to over-eager mouse clicking.
    * The directory/folder where Tux Paint saves files may be changed. This can be used to save pictures in a student's home directory on a network drive or shared drive, rather than locally on one particular workstation.
    * Stamps, starters and brushes are stored using popular open formats (PNG, SVG, Ogg Vorbis, etc.) allowing parents and teachers to create their own content for use at home or in the classroom - even using completely free tools.
    * The 'Tux Paint Config.' program allows parents, teachers, and school technicians to alter Tux Paint's behaviour using a simple, easy-to-use graphical interface. (It's separate from Tux Paint, to prevent children from changing things.)
    * ... and much more!

Welcome to ID TUX

What is Tux ?

Tux is a penguin character and the official mascot of the Linux kernel. Originally created as an entry to a Linux logo competition, Tux is the most commonly used icon for Linux, although different Linux distributions depict Tux in various styles. In video games featuring the character, female counter parts, named Penny and Gown, accompany him. The character is used in many other Linux programs and as a general symbol of Linux.
