Bastet ("bastard tetris") is an ncurses Tetris clone which is harder than every other tetris released. It is based on a heuristics engine which tries to detect which block you need or don't need, and then gives you the blocks that you don't need. For instance, if you usually play by leaving long "canyons" one square wide and then waiting for the long "I" block, you'll have to wait till eternity before you see it. The heuristics have been worked on for some time and are quite nasty.
Tournament Pool and Bracket Tracker contains everything you need to run a tournament pool. It supports small groups or organizations who wish to provide an NCAA basketball tournament pool without a lot of administrative work in calculating up-to-date results and possibilities. Though it was built with the NCAA tournament in mind, it should be able to handle most other sport tournament pools. Once a tournament is underway, users can keep track of their progress as the administrator for a tournament updates the results of games. Pool adminstrators can choose from many different scoring systems.
