Jeremy Johnson has started a SourceForge project for OpenAL Xtra, a free, open source scripting Xtra for Macromedia Director that extends Lingo with the basic functions of OpenAL, a cross-platform 3D audio API. With the OpenAL Xtra, a Director developer can arrange sounds around a virtual listener in a simulated, three-dimensional space. Currently, there is a release for Windows available, although he is hoping to find a Mac developer to port the project. http://sourceforge.net/projects/openalxtra/ If you found this site helpful and would like to contribute to the cost of maintaining it or contribute toward the continued development of any of the Xtras on the site, please click the link on this page.

June 4, 2001 — PRegEx 1.0 released. The first Xtra to be released on this site, PRegEx 1.0, is now available. PRegEx is an Xtra that brings the power of regular expressions, flexible utilities for lists and property lists, and more, to Lingo. It is inspired by the similar features of the Perl programming language, but you don’t have to know anything at all about Perl to use PRegEx. Mailing List for Announcements and SupportTo be notified of future releases or updates of PRegEx and/or other Xtras on this site, or to discuss bugs or technical issues, simply join the *penxtras@googlegroups.com mailing list. This is a moderated list and is very low-volume (roughly a few messages every 6 months).
About Open SourceThe Open Source philosophy encourages developers to release software projects to the general public along with the complete source code. Open Source products are not necessarily “free”. Every open source product has its own licensing arrangement and its own copyright status -- some may require a fee for commercial use. The main requirement for a project to be considered Open Source is that the software and source be freely and publicly distributed. As it happens, currently the only project on this site, PRegEx, happens to also be “free” in that you may use it, and/or create derivative works, free of charge. But don’t let this confuse you... future projects released on this site might be open-source, but might not be “free” for any use. To learn more about the Open Source movement, please visit Call for ContributionsThe editorial committee of this Web site is actively seeking new contributions and new participants. We especially encourage developers who may already have mature Xtras to consider releasing them Open Source, even if they are not necessarily prepared to make them free for all users. Any projects contributed to us for consideration will be handled in the strictest of confidence and will never be released to any outside parties until formally accepted by the editorial committee. Copies of rejected projects will not be retained by the committee. In addition to insisting that projects on this site be Open Source, the editorial committee of this Web site may apply other, subjective, criteria before deciding to make any particular project available directly on this site. The general guidelines will be published soon, but ultimately, the subjective decisions of the editorial committee will always govern. In the meanwhile, consider PRegEx to be a good example of what we’d like to see. We may apply a weaker standard for merely providing links to other Open Source Xtra projects, so we actively encourage you to self-publish any projects of your own and to send us the URL for possible linking from this site. If you are interested in contributing a new Xtra to the community, please join the Google group above and send an inquiry to the group.
