If Sheepeh buys my Wii, I might replace the Wiimotes with star bars and see if he notices.

The handling on 'Excite Truck' might improve slightly...

CG- how the fudge are you supposed to do the Overhead Slide level?

Also - Grim..., any idea on my Active X issue?

Try adding it to trusted sites - Tools->Internet Options->Security Tab->Click on the Trusted Zone and then the sites button. This may have been disabled by your admins.

I've just voided all of my saved levels so I'm playing it again. I'll let you know when I get there. I think I've got to level 48 previously before being completely baffled.

Hmm. No. And I've gone into the security settings and Active X is apparently enabled there. Must be an Admins thing. Thanks for trying, though.

It's level 7 or something, and I'm totally stumped.

Easy dude:

Something like this will do the job.

MrChris · **Joined:** 1st Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 30498

GAAAAH.

I was doing something like that, but attaching the basket to the ramp, not the loose sheet, and hoping it would swing in place.

Thanks!

Okay, Thursday fans - here is Magic Pen - a clever physics game.
The winner will be the person with the lowest number of pieces used to complete all the levels. We'll trust scores you tell us, but if you get a remarkably low score a screenshot would probably help.

Denied.

I can't work out level 10 of Magic Pen at all.

I scored 390.

ah, that one -

i made a block on the top platform with a big hinged piece to knock the other pieces out of the way. then i pinned the ball to that block and made it fall over.

Thanks.

Now level twelve is killing me. I'll give it a while yet before giving up, though.

Curiosity · **Posted:** Thu May 08, 2008 13:16

This game is not working for me. I load the page, and it then attempts to give me epilepsy* by flashing several screens including the title screen, credits screen and instructions screen at me very, very fast indeed. It continues to do so until my eyes melt.

I lose.

*I know that is not how you become epileptic.

MrChris · **Joined:** 1st Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 30498

Curio - that's what it's doing to me, as well. Maybe you've infected me?

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49232

I was driving with a mate over to his house the other night when we spotted a girl curled up in the foetal position at a bus stop. We pulled over and jumped out. She was conscious but shaking uncontrollably, and managed to tell us she was having an epileptic fit. We phoned for an ambulance and waited with her.

After a few minutes I realised that right in front of this girl having a fit was my car, with its hazard warning lights flashing away. Lummie, that can't help, I thought, and went to turn them off.

Two minutes later, 2 ambulances and a paramedic turned up, all with flashing lights-a-go-go. Oh well.

you must know that you can put a pin or hinge on both the center block and the red block itself.

GAH. I am now stuck again, half a dozen levels later:

I know I need to put a swingy thing on th point above the ball, and get it to swing round, but even with what liuttle counterweight I can add to it I can't get the ball over the crest.

Mr. Chris is a lawyer, Craster.

He has a word file open, but I presume thats to flick to in case anyone walks by

That one is a bugger chris - I haven't got a saved solution handy but I'll try to beat it now.

ElephantBanjoGnome · **Joined:** 22nd Dec, 2010 **Posts:** 8175

Here we go:

The green bit is a bit of rubber with -100% tension. This basically causes it to expand very quickly in all directions, which gives our little armadillo enough thrust to get to the end.

MrChris · **Joined:** 1st Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 30498

Ah, I tried that but thought you had to anchor it. Thanks!

Cras - I'm off tomorrow and the office is quite quiet this week.

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49232

It was a rhetorical question. I know you don't do any work.

ElephantBanjoGnome · **Joined:** 22nd Dec, 2010 **Posts:** 8175

While the game hasn't saved my solution, it tells me I did it with $26 left last time. Christ knows how.

This game has a bizarre physics bug that allows you to create a metal sheet around an anchor point which then spins inhumanly quickly. It's a very fiddly method that involves putting metal bars around it in a specific way, which creates some kind of impossible situation of physics that makes the thing spin very powerfully.

I'll try to find a video or an example level of this.

Edit: Here we go, a full explanation of what it is and how to create it. http://armadillo.metaclassofnil.com/php ... ?f=3&t=237

Futher edit: haha, just made it work on the golf level, $150 left.

Right just finished Magic Pen. Used 173 shapes.

I am proper stumped on the croquet one.

ElephantBanjoGnome · **Joined:** 22nd Dec, 2010 **Posts:** 8175

Not to be insulting, but it's ludicriously easy and if you can't figure it out then you're just STUPID*.

* but I still love you

MrChris · **Joined:** 1st Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 30498

No, it really isn't. Help!

I'm too stupid to live.

ElephantBanjoGnome · **Joined:** 22nd Dec, 2010 **Posts:** 8175

Just, like... use some metal rods to create a support structure to keep it from falling, then use the standard nudge tactic to move the 'dillo. Easy chap.

MrChris · **Joined:** 1st Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 30498

Nudge tactic? Sounds norty.

So the rocket thingy isn't used in getting the ball across? How disappointing.

ElephantBanjoGnome · **Joined:** 22nd Dec, 2010 **Posts:** 8175

Plenty of time for rockets later on.

MrChris · **Joined:** 1st Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 30498

Cool - done it. I promise to stop asking stupid questions now.

Build a bridge between between the top 2 flags, then rest a rectangle that spans the whole screen on the bottom flag. A bit like this:

I played the demo version when it first came out, It's a good game, but I did't have the funds to buy it, and it's not the sort of game I would pay for really. It's a bit of free fun.
