Welcome! This is the website of Christian Kinesis, which isn't a real company, but we'd like to consider it a nonprofit organization. You may never know whether we have one, two, or fifty members. You also may never know what all we do. But this is what you can know: we intend to make what we can to help people, through entertainment, tools, et cetera, and to treat our users with the utmost care. Anyone can call herself or himself a Christian, but that doesn't make him or her one. The same theory is applied to being a member of Christian Kinesis. Anyone wishing to contribute, contact friendsnetwork@gmail.com. At the moment, in terms of specific requests, we're looking for someone to take part in creating an all-encompassing spriting guide--we've made a tentative outline.

Now, take a look at some of our possibly useful or fun programs! They're all freeware, by the way. If you want, for some strange reason, to give a little to the webmaster, you may visit the CafePress shop and purchase buttons or T-shirts.





Programs

Name	Description
Paint WIP Grabber	Saves a screenshot of a specific MS Paint window every time the mouse button is released.
Kinesis Animator	GIF animation studio. Contains code by many programmers.
ColorCounter	Counts the colors in a specific image file (GIF, PNG, or BMP) or in an image on the clipboard. PNG-loading code by LaVolpe.
4Colors	Contains quite a few image effects of which the creators of many other freeware image editors never thought. It's a bit glitchy, so users should be careful about what they do with it--try to only use images whose width and height are multiples of 4.
BinaryLoad	Allows the user to edit small files as binary digits. This is mainly for lazy coders who want to see what bits they got wrong in their file-saving procedures.
MassiveMover	Capable of moving or copying files either based on dates or ignoring them. It's great for making comprehensive back-ups and then updating only the new or modified files daily.
Tide	A text editor that seems simple at first, but once you open the menu, you'll see that it has a sort of tab feature, an on-screen keyboard, a special clipboard that can hold as many items as can fit on the screen, a feature that emulates keystrokes to any given program (or up to 4 programs, in order), an Always On Top option, and an extremely complex find/count/crop/replace feature. The printing function is untested since the creator never prints anything.
The DeMattei Project	An equation program designed to handle complicated equations and graph them, even reporting then ignoring some errors.
MassRenamer	A program designed to rename a list of files either via a given text file or by manually inserted names. It's not very useful unless you have a list and it's in the same order in which the files are organized (usually alphabetically according to the old filenames).
UltimateBoardGame	This program is practically a simple programming language and environment for making board games. The system is designed to support everything from checkers to more famous and complicated games with several stacks of random cards, dice, and so on. It comes with checkers and tic-tac-toe, but a few other games have been made for it. This also requires the Microsoft® WinSock Control. (License information pending.)
TypingTest	A tiny program that allows the user to type whatever (s)he wants and gives the user her/his average speed, ignoring any typoes.
Date2Date	A simple calculator designed to give the number of days from one given date to another. It takes leap years into consideration, of course.
The Drag Drop File Lister	A program designed to list files the user drags and drops into it. For programmers, it's a good example of a few neat tricks, so request the source code.
Third-Party Freeware	This is a list of useful programs recommended by Christian Kinesis.
