XCruiser

XCruiser (formerly known as XCruise) is a filesystem visualization utility which compares a filesystem to a 3D-formed universe and allows you to "cruise" within it. It constructs a universe from directory trees, and you can navigate with a mouse.

      xcruise.ad
      i have encountered problem with this file too... one

      solution is to comment out keyboard part, or delete

      this file.. it's not just that brake problem that's under

      bugs tracker... i mean, when i set brake to right value

      mouse interaction works put when i press random

      button... maby "o", or "alt" then it goes to segfault

      again. i didn't find out how to open/exec files too... if

      it's really starting files like exec "open <file>" then

      it's wrong, but i don't think that it's so dumb

      problem... anyway, this project is really great, waiting

      for new features :)

      something wrong
      When the program starts, my spacecraft lauches off to the segfault nebula.

      Seriously, there must be something wrong with the controls. I have suse 8.1 and the controls are broken. It just flies away until crashed:(

      Actually useful!
      I've used this program to demonstrate how the Linux/Unix filesystem generally works.. it's good for those who can't get the concept of symlinks or what the /dev or /etc directories are for, etc.

      In Total Agreement!!!
      A fantastic program which is amazingly easy to use. I love the way symlinked files are actually physically linked together - take a look at /usr/lib! It would be great if the "planets" could be selected for some form of file management (view properties, rename, delete, etc...) perhaps with some kind of aircraft style targeting system:-)

      Now this is one cool app...
      Entirely useless but absolutely amazing. Point this at /dev! Wow, you'll never need LSD in front of your Linux box again ;-).
