Enigma (Puzzle Game)

Submitted by millarrp on August 15, 2007 - 9:17pm

I found this unique and addicting puzzle game called Enigma, which is based on Oxyd (if anybody has ever heard of it), and it's open source.

Here's the description from their web site:

Enigma is a puzzle game inspired by Oxyd on the Atari ST and Rock'n'Roll on the Amiga. The object of the game is to find uncover pairs of identically colored Oxyd stones. Simple? Yes. Easy? Certainly not! Hidden traps, vast mazes, laser beams, and, most of all, countless hairy puzzles usually block your direct way to the Oxyd stones

Open Source Desktop Translator

Submitted by Patrick Patience on August 15, 2007 - 1:56pm

Does anyone know of a desktop language translator? I've searched and found nothing, because I like to have at least a French-English, English-French and Spanish-English, English-French dictionary, and I hate going online to like Google Translate or something. I guess it might be rather big, but does anyone know of just like a desktop one? Maybe where you can add your own dictionary's for other languages. I would probably try to make it portable if I like it enough.

Thanks guys.

Portable SharpDevelop or other IDE or Snippet Compiler

Submitted by sgt.wicked on August 15, 2007 - 12:16pm

It would be very awesome to have some kind of portable IDE for software development, preferably one that supports any language. I can't count the times where I have my drive with me and I am visiting a friend or staying somewhere for a long period of time and I just feeling like programming out an Idea I had and I have no means to besides Notepad++ to get it down in a file.
