PsychoPy 1.00.02
An open-source package for creating psychology stimuli in Python (a real and free alternative to Matlab) more>> An open-source package for creating psychology stimuli in Python (a real and free alternative to Matlab)
PsychoPy will combine the easy Python syntax with the graphical strengths of OpenGL to give psychophysics a free and simple stimulus presentation and control package.
The goal is to provide, for the busy scientist (including me!), tools to control timing and windowing and a simple set of pre-packaged stimuli and methods. The code is platform independent, using Python and C libraries that are widely available.
Main features:
- Platform independent (tested on OS X and Windows)
- Simple syntax (see the demo code)
- Freeware (and based on totally free libraries)
- Uses hardware-accelerated graphics (OpenGL)
- Integration with CRS Bits++(for 14bit luminance resolution)
- Integration with Spectrascan PR650 for easy monitor calibration
- Simple routines for staircase and constant stimuli experimental methods as well as curve-fitting and bootstrapping (these are not the only things you can do - they are just the ones that Ive included so far within the package)
- Simple (or complex) GUIs via wxPython
- Easy interfaces to joysticks, mice, keyboards
- Easy interface to parallel and serial ports
- Unicode text rendering in any TrueType font
- Multi-monitor support
- Plays movies (mpg, DivX, avi, QuickTime...) as stimuli

MenuCal 0.8 is described as a reliable as well as powerful tool that lets you display a calendar with iCal information available for the selected date. It is currently in it's infancy and is being made available to gather feedback.
MenuCal is donationware. If you like it and use it, feel free to visit the website and make a donation. There are no registration reminders, and if you don't think it's worth paying for, you are welcome to continue using it for free.
Please note that MenuCal is a work in progress. If you download expecting it to just work, you will be dissapointed. Until a version 1.0 is available, it should be considered experimental software and may crash or do random nasty things. If you aren't willing to give it a run and report any problems, then this download is not for you.
Requirements: Mac OS X 10.3

Arena Crystalis 1.0
Arena Crystalis - Experimental freeware game for the Macintosh more>>
Its a very simple game where you control a crystalline ship and fight for survival against other ones in a square arena, depending on the game rules set.
You can set your own challenge, choosing how long and challenging the battle will be against the computers, and you can challenge a friend or even team up with one against them.
There are up to 8 players, each of which controls a crystalline ship that can turn, jet forward or fire lasers. Each crystal has infinite fuel and infinite laser charges, and a life meter (which has a customizable initial level) that decreases when the crystal is hit by the white-hot tip of another crystals laser. There are also powerups that occasionally appear in the form of coins to help whoever can get to them first.
The goal of a game depends on the game mode and the many preferences set. There are tournament modes, deathmatch modes, and timed-tag modes, and you can play every-man-for-himself or make custom teams of human or computer players.
Main features:
- Customize up to eight players.
- Set the intelligence level of computer-controlled crystals, from "stupid" to "vicious," or customize the control keys.
- Make custom teams of crystal players vs. other crystal players,
- Many different play modes: Tournament, where you must win a certain number of rounds; Deathmatch, where you must make a certain number of kills; or Timed-tag, where you must aggressively become "it" and stay "it" for a certain length of time.
- Set the size of the playing field, and choose if/how it wraps around.
- Set the size of the screen display, set whether polygonal objects are drawn in wireframe or polygon-fill.
- Mono or Stereo sound effects, and choose from three included background music tracks.

Eduphant 2.0b2
PostgreSQL GUI client. more>>
You can use EduPhant regardless of your language or favorite operating system since it supports any text encoding PostgreSQL supports and works on Mac OS 8 and 9, OS X, Windows, and we have an experimental build for Linux too now.
Most other SQL clients dumbly enter data in PostgreSQL in their operating systems default text encoding, regardless of the encoding in which your database has been defined. This results in corrupted data that isnt usable cross-platform or with other clients that do respect the text encodings like EduPhant. The corruption is most noticable with non-ASCII characters like an accented "e."
EduPhants SQL query templates will allow the novices to quickly pick up the SQL syntax and logic, or they will jog the memory of the more advanced users. Plus they make it a breeze to rapidly construct your SQL queries. When you click on cells or headers of the query results table or of the database overview table, you enter their content into your query -- another very practical feature to reduce typing (and typos). You can also store your own custom SQL templates.
