Administration
Finance
Finance is a universally applicable accountancy program. Beside the capture of the data, it offers functions for the graphic analysis of the data. With the built-in report and formula editor you can generate any kind of report. As the data is stored in a file and not in a database, the program is also suited for calculating various scenarios. Finance can deal with any number of currencies and securities. Transactions between two currencies can be evaluated at a given time or at the balance date.
Taskorg
TaskOrg is a CRM/ERP for service providers. After projects are defined, employees can start assigning their expenditure to these projects. From the entered expenditures you can generate invoices at any time. By request, employees receive notifications about which projects are currently the most urgent. Documents can be shared with others via the documents database. Know-how or other text fragments can be put in a text-based database.
Graphic
AlphaEdit
AlphaEdit is an application for drawing bitmap graphics, which intensively uses the alpha channel (transparency). Various functions allow you to arrange these transparent graphics on top or underneath of each other, to tint them, etc. Thus a picture can be developed in layers. With the built-in vector editor you can create simple shapes. Since we only use few, but powerful functions, you will quickly be able to use the program. When producing (rendering) the bitmaps from the vector drawings, we use a self-developed method, which allows the calculation of edges (transitions between foreground and background) without creating alias effects (stairs, pixelization). In contrast to the common antialias filters, which always filter the whole picture, thus blurring it, our method guarantees a clear and detailed picture. This is particularly crucial with small or delicate graphics like fonts.
PictureDB
PictureDb is a database for pictures. You can assign tags to picture, which can be created and deleted dynamically. Assigning those tags to pictures is a manual task. As this can be a lot of work with huge amounts of pictures, we experiment with artificial neuronal networks, which can apply once learned tags also to other pictures. Because pictures require a lot of storage space, we also experiment with different compression technologies. However, the first version will be published without these experimental technologies.
Fractal (experimental)
Fractal originated as a seminar project during mathematics studies and was for a long time a base for the development of our framework. For nostalgic reasons, however, we have never given it up and the basic idea – to generate beautiful pictures out of some mathematical formulas and algorithms – is still exciting.
Networking
P2P
P2P is both a network server and a client. We call this a network knot. These knots can be connected with other knots, thus building a private network on the Internet. P2P is independent of DNS or rather has its own system for the identification of IP addresses. With P2P, files can be directly exchanged between two PCs via the Internet. The data stream does not use any server and is encoded. P2P is also a cloud solution, which is built in with almost all products.
DataWeb (experimental)
DataWeb was originally meant to become a web server. We experiment here above all with HTTP, SSL and HTML expansions. The project was revived recently to develop a CMS (content management system). Contents are not edited in the web browser, but within DataWeb. Editing and viewing are completely separated. The advantage is: more security and faster viewing in the browser.
Games
SimCiv (experimental)
SimCiv is an attempt to create a 3D game out of real GIS (geographic information system) data. We experiment here primarily with DirectX and OpenGL.
Tools
Meta (experimental)
Meta internally produces an LR parser out of lexical and syntactical definitions, which then, in a second step, translates text or binary data in accordance with a list of translation directives. In this way, you can for example translate Pascal to C. Meta is an experimental expansion and further development of the well-known lex and yacc.
Framework
Currently, our framework exists in the form of tools and libraries, which we integrate into our applications. The goal is to produce language and maybe platform-independent products out of these libraries.
