The windmill was fun though. Glad i was able to take a break from it and finish my homework first. nayt ------------------ Art: making weird people seem interesting since 1503 IP: Logged

I hit the windmill 5 times - I think there's a timing issue on this computer, but it was going really fast. I just got 72 my first time, I'm sure I'll get better quickly. Edit/Append: 59; 57.

Aiyana Geek Posts: 73 From: Columbus, OH USA Registered: Jan 2002	posted May 02, 2002 19:38 First try: 48. Stoopid windmill and slopes! Rar! Although I have to disagree on #17. I just whacked it as hard as I could at about a 45� angle to the wall, and it bounced back and forth down the path till it was right down next to the hole. Got that 'un in two shots. Maybe it was just dumb luck? At any rate, it was much more fun than studying pharmacology! Addendum: 36 on my third try. Darnit! One point short of being a l33t g0lf0r and 0wnzing you all. ....I'm sorry, I couldn't resist. It had to be done. Oh, and my tactic for #8 and #17 still holds true. I nearly got a hole in one on #17, in fact. If I'd just hit a teeny smidge harder... Yes, the slope physics definitely need work. Sometimes the ball rolls completely off them as you'd expect...other times it comes to a dead stop. How does a ball stop on a smooth slope?! Of course what really miffs me is it tends to go when I want it to stop and stop when I want it to go. D'oh! ------------------ "You can lead a horse to prune juice, but you can't make him drink it.

Stickist Geek Larva Posts: 24 From: Colorado Springs, CO, USA Registered: Mar 2002	posted May 02, 2002 20:35 Hole 18 was the killer for my score. I had a 37 before... ended up with 49 after. IP: Logged
Stormtalon Geek-in-Training Posts: 37 From: Minnesota Registered: Feb 2002	posted May 03, 2002 07:42 35! Yay! (edit) The mark is down to 34.... and 32.... and 30.... =) (I think I'm playing it WAY too much. Can regularly hole-in-one the first 3 holes, easy).

I had a 37 before... ended up with 49 after. By dumb luck, I just got it lined up perfectly such that I got a hole in one on 18, giving me a 46. The overall score stinks, because I messed up on 8, 14, and 17. I got holes-in-one on 2,3, and 13. IP: Logged
Bregalad Super Geek Posts: 230 From: Vancouver, BC, Canada Registered: Jan 2002	posted May 03, 2002 17:57 48, 41, 37 I'm still having trouble with 18 and there are some problems with the ball hitting a wall that it should be missing by a good 10-20 pixels. I agree with most of you that 17 is just annoying. Addicted? I'm not getting addicted Edit: down to 35 including a 4 on 18. I just can't seem to get his slopes figured out. IP: Logged
Aiyana Geek Posts: 73 From: Columbus, OH USA Registered: Jan 2002	posted May 04, 2002 04:55 Awww, yeah! 29! Any takers on that one? Hole-in-one on 1, 2, 3, 7, 9, 12, 13, 15, and....17. Hehe.

Aiyana Geek Posts: 73 From: Columbus, OH USA Registered: Jan 2002	posted May 04, 2002 21:37 Well, Stormy, I see yer 28, and uh...well, I just see it. Tied it, but couldn't beat it....yet... 1/1/1/2/1/1/1/1/1/2/2/1/3/3/1/2/2/2 Friggin' #14 ALWAYS gets me. I cannae do it! Also haven't figured out the trick to #10. As for the windmill, well...I don't think its timing is consistent. Yah...that's it. But dig that hole-in-one on #8! ------------------ "You can lead a horse to prune juice, but you can't make him drink it. Nor would you want to." --Space Ghost IP: Logged
EngrBohn Highlie Posts: 766 From: United States Registered: Jul 2000	posted May 05, 2002 04:03 I noticed there's another miniputt on this guy's website (select "practice"). But the one that's got me addicted now is SnowCraft. It's fun and cute and addictive. My current best score is 84. ------------------ cb Oooh! What does this button do!? IP: Logged

Posts: 1538 From: In a world beyond your understanding Registered: Jan 2002	posted May 05, 2002 16:07 That other putt putt was ok. at least i could figure out what way the hills were sloping. That music was annoying though. i did not do as well on it as i did on the other. Bad enough, i don't want to tell you what i got. nayt ------------------ Art: making weird people seem interesting since 1503 IP: Logged
Aiyana Geek Posts: 73 From: Columbus, OH USA Registered: Jan 2002	posted May 05, 2002 16:21 Oy...that other mini-golf game was rather slow and clunky for me. A 266 MHz G3 running OSX doesn't handle Flash too well. So I went back to the original mini-putt and... 26!! Mwa ha! ::shakes her groove thang:: 1/1/1/1/2/2/1/1/1/2/2/2/1/1/2/2/2/1 Okay, your turn, Stormy! ------------------ "You can lead a horse to prune juice, but you can't make him drink it.

Stormtalon Geek-in-Training Posts: 37 From: Minnesota Registered: Feb 2002	posted May 07, 2002 10:52 Here's a bit of advice for that pesky windmill hole. Place the ball as far back on the tee area as possible, and all the way to the left hand side. When putting, pull back to the very edge of the browser window and aim for a spot just before the left hand silvery chute. If you do it right, the ball will bank off the wall just before it enters the chute and come out at just the right angle to bank off the back wall and into the cup. The windmill itself is a red herring. Stormtalon ------------------ Those who are easily offended should be. And often. IP: Logged

[/QUOTE] You know, until you posted that, I'd been doing pretty well getting the ball past the windmill blades. Curse your subconscious suggestions! Anyway...I give. ::bows down to your superior putt-fu:: Addendum, 10:45 P.M.: Whoops...I guess I spoke too soon. How does 23 sound to ya? 1/1/1/2/2/1/1/1/1/1/2/1/1/2/1/1/1/2 And just in case you're starting to doubt me... (psst...Geocities is really finicky...I guess they're miffed because I haven't actually built a site yet...if it tries to tell you the file doesn't exist, highlight the address line and hit enter. For some reason, "refresh" doesn't work. I promise you, though, I DID upload this file. It is SO there.) Man...the room for error just keeps getting smaller and smaller...now it's all a matter of dumb luck or how much time one has to kill trying to perfect one's shots. Aaaand I think I've brutally slaughtered enough time already. ------------------ "You can lead a horse to prune juice, but you can't make him drink it.
