-*hacks.grav.documentation: \
-This program draws a simple orbital simulation. If you turn on \
-trails, it looks kind of like a cloud-chamber photograph. Written by \
-Greg Bowering.

*hacks.qix.documentation: \
This is the swiss army chainsaw of qix programs. It bounces a series \
of line segments around the screen, and uses variations on this basic \
each face. Don't think about it too long, or your brain will melt. \
Written by Joe Keane, Fritz Mueller, and Jamie Zawinski.
+*hacks.hyperball.documentation: \
+Hyperball is to hypercube as dodecahedron is to cube: this displays \
+a 2D projection of the sequence of 3D objects which are the projections \
+of the 4D analog to the dodecahedron. Written by Joe Keane.
+
*hacks.halo.documentation: \
This draws trippy psychedelic circular patterns that hurt to look at. \
It can also animate the control-points, but that takes a lot of CPU \
Simulates that pen-in-nested-plastic-gears toy from your childhood. \

+*hacks.nerverot.documentation: \

This program makes collages out of random images pulled off of the \
With the -water option, it manipulates your desktop image to look \
like something is dripping into it. Written by Tom Hammersley.

+Draws a rippling waves on a rotating wireframe grid, using GL. \
+Written by Josiah Pease.

+*hacks.xrayswarm.name: XRaySwarm
+*hacks.xrayswarm.documentation: \
+Draws a few swarms of critters flying around the screen, with nicely \
+faded color trails behind them. Written by Chris Leger.
+
+*hacks.zoom.documentation: \
+Zooms in on a part of the screen and then moves around. With the \
+-lenses option the result is like looking through many overlapping \
+lenses rather than just a simple zoom. Written by James Macnicol.
+
+*hacks.whirlwindwarp.name: WhirlwindWarp
+*hacks.whirlwindwarp.documentation: \
+Floating stars are acted upon by a mixture of simple 2D \
+forcefields. The strength of each forcefield changes \
+continuously, and it is also switched on and off at random. \
+By Paul 'Joey' Clark, ported from a QB program written for Ivor.
