Post by: Darkbluerabbit on 20 Feb 2009, 22:57: Man, I tried that particle pro game, but I had to quit because the particles were driving my eyes crazy. I can actually still see little dots bouncing all over my monitor.

Post by: Spluff on 20 Feb 2009, 23:17: What the hell, I had 97% at 041 and only got 98%.

Post by: Something Witty on 20 Feb 2009, 23:47: I'm guessing that there is a 2% margin of error to account for the fluctuations in the state of the icons that you charge up.

Post by: LittleKey on 21 Feb 2009, 01:19: i got 84% on coconut run and 97% on particle pro. how you guys can get 100% on both is beyond me.

Post by: onewheelwizzard on 21 Feb 2009, 13:57: I honestly haven't the foggiest notion how you did the coconut run in 15 seconds. I'm struggling to beat twice that time.

Post by: Spluff on 21 Feb 2009, 15:47: Your wheels are probably too small.
Title: Re: I'VE GOT A LOVELY BUNCH OF COCONUTS!
Post by: Alex C on 21 Feb 2009, 16:29: Yeah, I was able to make it in 13 seconds flat with no lost coconuts simply by making a big cart with big wheels.

This is one of the best things I've seen in a while.

Also I am not shit at cart building, it is just my computer does not run flash very fast, and designs that break 15 seconds easy on another computer take a minute or two on mine. I was experimenting with systems of many different sized wheels to accelerate up to speed but that was totally unnecessary.

Also guys check out Fantastic Contraption it is like the cart game except way better.

Ha!

And here's the cart that got that time:

Post by: Alex C on 22 Feb 2009, 18:14: My 12 second cart was a lot like that, it just didn't have the "lid." Beyond a certain point nailing the right amount acceleration seems to count more than anything. For example, I shaved off that last second by slowing down just a bit near the end; I was basically leaping the shredder part instead of immediately dropping into it prior to my adjustment.

This is the Beast. I can't get it to go any faster than 20 seconds, but it can do a full somersault without spilling a single coconut. It is a TANK.
