Symphony is a vertical shooter type game which, like Audiosurf and Beat Hazard (among others) generates the levels based on your music. It ranges from easy to mind-blowingly difficult, with the higher difficulties becoming unlocked as you progress through the game and recover pages of the "Symphony of Souls"; created when a mysterious entity invaded and tried to take over by capturing the souls of musicians. This mysterious entity is absorbing and corrupting your music before your eyes.

Celestia is a 3D astronomy program created by Chris Laurel. The program is based on the Hipparcos Catalogue (HIP) and allows users to travel through an extensive universe, modeled after reality, at any speed, in any direction and at any time in history. Celestia displays and interacts with objects ranging in scale from small spacecraft to entire galaxies in three dimensions using OpenGL, from perspectives which would not be possible from a classic planetarium or other ground-based display.
