This seems to only be for Rails.. I don’t understand it and there is no newbie-friendly documentation to explain the basics.
Reportedly faster/cooler than WEBrick.

This is a generally crappy game. Several elements of gameplay are annoying, or take too many clicks or whatever. Sigh.

Flash movie capturer. Works PERFECTLY, but has no audio support under Linux.
Works perfectly under both Windows and Linux. Godlike.
They abandoned Linux support for newer versions. Linux can’t record audio. =(
Abandoned by the original author. Reportedly taken over by a company, but was never updated; flagging as abandoned.

http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/rxvt-unicode.html
A nice light terminal emulator. A Unicode-capable version of rxvt.
When I learned that aterm does not support unicode, I went looking for its replacement. It suggested rxvt-unicode, so here I am. See Unicode VGA font for the font I ended up using.
It is not tabbed, use one of the /tag/terminal-multiplexers (I currently use this one).
\urxvt -pe tabbedhttps://www.os-cillation.de/en/opensourceprojekte/xfce-terminal/

LXTerminal — I’m not sure which came first.

andreasvc/cplay (Python 2.6+)
A commandline music player.
One of the best out there. It’s extremely obvious to use.

was https://code.google.com/archive/p/mrxvt
A terminal emulator which allows tabs.
I could just use Screen, but mrxvt is so much easier to use. =)
See also: rxvt-unicode (rxvt), which is also definitely light.
