It     supports most options from the GNU version of grep.

Kugel Lines 2.7
http://freshmeat.net/releases/107611/

    Kugel is a game played by moving objects on a board. When you create     rows, columns, or diagonals containing the same objects     (&quot;kugels&quot;), the score will increment by the number of objects     you manage to line up. At the same time, the lined up
&quot;kugels&quot; will disappear, so you can continue the game with
    more maneuver space on the board. Any time you fail to create a line of
&quot;kugels&quot;, new ones will appear on the board. Once the board
    is full, the game is over.

There's a mat with four directional     arrows, and the game scrolls arrows up the screen to the beat while     playing a song. When the arrows reach the top of the screen (not sooner     and not later), the player hits the corresponding arrow on the pad, and     given that it's hit on time with the beat, points are scored.
