PhysicsFS

PhysicsFS (PhysFS for short) is a zlib-licensed programming library written in C for virtual file access. PhysicsFS is designed to provide a hardware abstraction layer to the developer, allowing them to access files contained within various archive formats as well as direct access to the filesystem, which would all be represented in a single virtual Unix-like file tree. PhysicsFS initially supported ZIP, Quake PAK, and Doom WAD file formats, but recent editions expand filetype support to LZMA-compressed 7z, Build engine GRP, and Descent HOG and MVL formats.

Usage

PhysicsFS is mainly used in the video game industry, but can be used by other sorts of programs, too. The Allegro, LÖVE and NAS2D game engines support it natively. Video games that use PhysicsFS include Dead Meat, netPanzer, and MindBender.

    PLAYLIST TIME:

    Vesuvius

    by: Vic Chesnutt

    Trying to clip the creek to the bank with a clothes pin
    Waterlogged system, rusty spring, faulty planning
    Logic squeezed out like mustard at a corndog
    Hypertension is not wisdom, chewing the leather straps
    Trying to hold the sun still with a bobby pin
    Burned fingers. excellent conductor of heat
    Private fantasies are not public policy
    Christian charity is a doily over my death boner
    Busy work is not the Great Wall of China
    Vanity bamboo hut out back behind the big house
    Pretend is salve for whitey-boy guilt
    Furiously slapping at the moon with a cane pole
    Trying to prop up the heavens with a fresh flat pencil
    Some folks are allergic to rubber
    I am trying to stitch this one to all the rest of them
    But the seams will split, collide and cleave
    Neopolitan ice cream is never truly integrated until it s too late
    Trying to stop the bleeding with scotch tape
    Platelets spoil adhesion, fire up the cauterizing iron
    It's a branding of necessity not scarification
    Bliss was a pimple that I tried to pop
    It erupted up and out on my countenance
    Ugly eruption, Vesuvius, ugly eruption, Vesuvius
    Ugly eruption, Vesuvius
