||
BLib is a library of useful things to hack the <a href="http://www.blinkenlights.de/" target="_top">Blinkenlights</a>. The
|
||
software used for the original Blinkenlights installation in
|
||
Berlin didn't fit our needs when we planned the installation in
|
||
Paris, dubbed <a href="http://www.blinkenlights.de/arcade/" target="_top">Arcade</a>. We
|
||
decided we need something more generic and developed BLib.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
BLib was written by Daniel Mack, Michael Natterer and Sven
|
||
Neumann with modules contributed by 1stein (BPacman, BBreakout)
|
||
and Simon Budig (BMatrix).
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
There are a couple of software packages that use BLib:
|
||
</p><div class="variablelist"><table border="0"><col align="left" valign="top"><tbody><tr><td><span class="term">blinkentools</span></td><td><p>
|
||
A set of command-line utilities related to Blinkenlights.
|
||
It includes b2b, a converter for Blinkenmovies that can
|
||
apply some simple effects, b2mng, which creates MNG
|
||
animations from Blinkenmovies, and bsend, which sends movies
|
||
over the net using the Blinkenlights Network Protocol.
|
||
</p></td></tr><tr><td><span class="term">blinkensim</span></td><td><p>
|
||
A graphical Blinkenlights simulator that displays the UDP
|
||
packets it receives according to the Blinkenlights Network
|
||
Protocol. It supports themes and comes with <a href="http://www.directfb.org/" target="_top">DirectFB</a> and <a href="http://www.gtk.org/" target="_top">GTK+</a> backends.
|
||
</p></td></tr><tr><td><span class="term">blccc</span></td><td><p>
|
||
The Blinkenlights Chaos Control center is the heart of
|
||
every Blinkenlights installation. This is the master
|
||
process that controls the lights. It makes heavy use of
|
||
BLib.
|
||
</p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p>
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
BLib depends on <a href="http://www.gtk.org/" target="_top">GLib</a>
|
||
version 2.0 (or newer). For the optional DirectFB view you need
|
||
<a href="http://www.directfb.org/" target="_top">DirectFB</a> version
|
||
0.9.11 (or newer) and the GTK+ view requires at least <a href="http://www.gtk.org/" target="_top">GTK+</a> version 2.0.3.
