Battle City - remake of multidirectional shooter video game - LinuxLinks
Battle City contains 35 different stages that are 13 units wide by 13 units high. Each map contains different types of terrain and obstacles. Examples include brick walls that can be destroyed by having either the player’s tank or an enemy tank shoot at them, steel walls that can be destroyed by the player if they have collected three stars, forest that hides tanks in them, ice fields that make it difficult to control the tank and patches of water which cannot be crossed by tanks. In addition, flashing red tanks drop power-ups when destroyed. There are several types of power-ups, such as a clock that freezes all enemies, a protective shield, and a bomb that eliminates all on-screen enemies. The enemy tanks come in four different sizes, with the largest one requiring four shots to destroy.

ii - minimalist FIFO and filesystem-based IRC client - LinuxLinks
The in file is used to communicate with the servers and the out files include the server messages. For every channel and every nick name there will be new in nd out files.
The basic idea of this is to be able to communicate with an IRC server with standard command line tools. For example if you want to join a channel just do echo “/j #channel” > in and ii creates a new channel directory with in and out file.
axx - generalized assembler - LinuxLinks
To process each processor architecture, a pattern file (processor description file) for it is required. You can define any instruction, but if you create a pattern file based on the assembly language of the target processor, you can process the assembly language of that processor, although the notation is slightly different. In short, it is just the grammar rules of the instructions and the generation of binaries based on them.

Cypht - webmail aggregator - LinuxLinks
Cypht is an application built entirely of plugins, or as we call them, module sets (which is obviously way cooler sounding than plugins), that are executed by the framework. Modules provide a flexible way to add new features or customize the program without hacking the code.
