I can't remember if this has been posted before, and if it has, it's time for another round.

Just try to beat 323.3, chumps!

All you have to do is click once to make the penguin fall, and again to swing.

Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :

320.5. Getting close.

Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :

320.9's best I got so far.

Posted by advice for robots (Member # 2544) on :

And if you get tired of going for distance, try to land a pop-up higher than 207. Or hit a grounder less than 65.

Posted by amira tharani (Member # 182) on :

319.8.
Is a pop-up one where the penguin just sticks in the snow rather than bouncing? If so, I got one at 209. No grounders less than 65 tho.

Posted by narrativium (Member # 3230) on :

That's freakin' hilarious!

Posted by saxon75 (Member # 4589) on :

Oooo, 65.4! So close!

[Edit: Argh! Twice!]

Posted by Koga (Member # 5646) on :

246.7 on one that bounced a bunch of times, sort of a grounder [Dont Know]

Posted by saxon75 (Member # 4589) on :

So far:

Longest hit: 323.4 (ha!)
Longest pop-up: 207.2
Shortest grounder: 65.4

Posted by Vána (Member # 3262) on :

321! Not too bad.

i can't get the link to work... =(

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

Me neither.

Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :

Doesn't work for me, either, what's going on?

Posted by Jhai (Member # 5633) on :

I got 323.4 too.

(I'm a lurker, btw, but this game is just too fun to not post.)

Posted by Happy Camper (Member # 5076) on :

Long: 323.5
Pop-up: 207.6
Short: around 67-68 range, didn't pay that much attention.

This thing is going to consume my life.

Dang! Ya beat me, Saxon and Jhai?

It is an addictive game, is it not? My manager at work caught me playing it when I had an urgent job to get out, and I had to eat crow for a bit. Luckily he's a nice guy, and I have brownie points to spend.

Moose, I'd feel better if you DID say it.

[Smile]

On second thought...maybe not.

[Evil Laugh]

Posted by Nato (Member # 1448) on :

322.9 twice, 320, 320.5, 319,

I got popups of 206.3 three times in a row and another two times besides. (207.4 long)

I've got to stop.. No more Hatrack for tonight. I have an essay to write in class tomorrow morning.

Posted by Mr.Funny (Member # 4467) on :

207.4 Pop-up.
322.9 Long.
65.4 Short.

Posted by Mr.Funny (Member # 4467) on :

PS: Try refreshing the screen if it doesn't work. That sometimes fixes the problem.

Posted by Wonko The Sane (Member # 2945) on :

323.4 [Wave]

Posted by scottneb (Member # 676) on :

323.4 As well.

I think that's the highest.

Posted by advice for robots (Member # 2544) on :

Thpppt.

I wasn't going to mention it, but the highest score I've heard of is 323.5. I'd be all over that right now, but I haven't been able to get in this morning.

Good job, sluggers.

Posted by Hobbes (Member # 433) on :

Hmmm, I think another fun implementation is to see how close to 200 you can get, my record: 200.3

Hobbes [Smile]

Posted by advice for robots (Member # 2544) on :

I got a faceplant on about 199.7, IIRC.

Posted by advice for robots (Member # 2544) on :

HAH!

323.5

Eat THAT for breakfast! [Big Grin]

And I landed two popups right on 200 as well.

*thumps chest*

Posted by lcarus (Member # 4395) on :

Long: 310, and it's the only time I got over 300
Longest Face Plant: 205.7
Closes Face Plant to 200: 199.9

And my only real distinction . . . short: 56

[Embarrassed]

Posted by Frisco (Member # 3765) on :

A pop-up at 196.3 [edit: make that 192 even.][edit: 188.9]

The face plant is oh so satisfying.

[ January 21, 2004, 12:28 PM: Message edited by: Frisco ]

Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :

Ha! 322.9 on my very FIRST swing -- wasn't even sure how to play it when I hit him....

FG

Posted by Happy Camper (Member # 5076) on :

*Points up* I got 323.5 last night (got captured evidence of that one), and I haven't seen anyone speak of a higher pop up, though it may have happened. [Razz]

. I've also got exactly 200, but only once. See how hard it is to stay humble when people ignore you? [Grumble]

Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :

HC,
amira (fifth post down from top post) said they got 209 on pop-up. So I think that's highest recorded here.

The pop-ups are becoming more fun than the distance....

FG

Posted by Happy Camper (Member # 5076) on :

Ah, yes, there it is. If so, that's amazing, as I can't even repeat my, er... 207.6.

Posted by zgator (Member # 3833) on :

I can consistently get short ones of "0". Beat that suckers.

Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :

Okay, come on, honestly, how many of you are lying?

Posted by Frisco (Member # 3765) on :

I think zgator may be telling the truth.

Posted by Happy Camper (Member # 5076) on :

I can attest to the fact that zgator may be telling the truth. It is in fact possible to consistently get scores of Zero. [Big Grin]

*edit* It is also possible to get scores in the neighborhood of 56 (I think), when the score should be zero. Have yet to figure that one out.

[ January 21, 2004, 01:17 PM: Message edited by: Happy Camper ]

Posted by zgator (Member # 3833) on :

I know it sounds like I'm making that up, but I really am getting a lot of zeros.

You just need to try harder.

Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :

I'm not talking about zgator. *closes eyes and sends guilt waves*

Posted by St. Yogi (Member # 5974) on :

64.1... Worship me [Smile]

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

Dangit. I can't get past 319.5.

Posted by advice for robots (Member # 2544) on :

Sorry, Happy Camper, I think I was subconsciously refusing to see your score before.

*high five*

Posted by TheTick (Member # 2883) on :

200.1 (closest to 200)
323.4 (longest)
207.2 (longest pop-up after 200)

Posted by jeniwren (Member # 2002) on :

The best I can get is 316.5. And zero. I just want to be like Zan.

Posted by Gottmorder (Member # 5039) on :

How dare you attack the penguin!

You can get over 400m.

522.6

[ January 22, 2004, 10:07 AM: Message edited by: Kama ]

Posted by advice for robots (Member # 2544) on :

522.6?

Kama, are you playing the same game?

Ah, yes, being a computer program yourself, you have the ability to infiltrate the system from the inside, and let's just say tweak things a little. Am I right? Yes, I thought so. [Smile]

Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :

The very same one.

There's a trick [Wink]

Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :

Now I'm getting a 404. Anybody know anywhere else this game is?

Posted by Tristan (Member # 1670) on :

You'd better not be kidding, Kama, 'cause now I'm going to spend an obsessive amount of time trying to figure the trick out.

Posted by closeyourmind (Member # 5916) on :

the game can be found at http://junk.dawnshadow.se/yp010.swf

or you can go straight to the source at http://www.e-medien.com/

The first version is the same version that we have been obsessing about and the second version is a downloadable version from the designers and their website is really cool looking (but I don't speak a lick of german).

P.S. Kama, if you are not pulling our leg, please let us know the secret [Smile]

Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :

hee hee

Okay, try this one and see if your results are any different. [Big Grin]

Posted by advice for robots (Member # 2544) on :

Hah!

I thought so!

[Evil]

Posted by closeyourmind (Member # 5916) on :

haha...I guess you weren't kidding about there being a trick [Smile]

of course, now I'm trying to beat your 522.6

[ January 22, 2004, 05:27 PM: Message edited by: closeyourmind ]

Posted by Maethoriell (Member # 3805) on :

487.1..I'm getting there Kama.

Posted by closeyourmind (Member # 5916) on :

wow, I just got 578.1

I don't know how to capture the screen, so y'all will just have to take my word for it. [Smile]

P.S. if anyone wants to tell me how to do the screen capture thing, it would be greatly appreciated

Posted by Hobbes (Member # 433) on :

Press "PrntScrn", the image of the screen will now be saved on the clipboard. Go into an image editor (like Paint) and click "Paste", the image should appear.

Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :

We got 593.5 here, on Kama's link. (yes, did screen shot).

What's your furthest head plant on this one? I know we got at least 491 on a head plant.

FG

Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :

Highest Score Evah!

Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :

593.5

Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :

492.5 headplant

Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :

Just to make it clear, no image manipulation had any influence whatsoever on my score, nor did I manipulate the program itself in some way by decompiling then recompiling -- the url is where i was.

Posted by Mr.Funny (Member # 4467) on :

How does that work then? Bug in the program?

Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :

Yep.

The score is actually 2^31. Their integer underflowed when the program tried to subtract (which happens in a certain situation), so it rolled over to the highest possible number.

So I have the highest possible score (without significantly altering the program itself).

Posted by Frisco (Member # 3765) on :

593.5

If yours went so far, fugu, then why is the flag coming from the yeti's crotch? [Razz]

Perhaps it was 2^-31.

Posted by Frisco (Member # 3765) on :

And 493.4 on the faceplant. [Razz]

Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :

Its clearly not 2^-31, that's a very different number.

And its not -2^31, its definitely positive.

I didn't say I had sent the penguin the furthest, I said I had the highest score [Big Grin]

[ January 23, 2004, 02:18 AM: Message edited by: fugu13 ]

Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :

Looks like 593,5 is the most you can get. [Frown]

Posted by Rappin' Ronnie Reagan (Member # 5626) on :

I felt like resurrecting this thread because I just got exactly 200.

Posted by Koga (Member # 5646) on :

Someone linked a version of it last night in chat where I managed to get 1205.6 [Cool]

Posted by advice for robots (Member # 2544) on :

Geez, people, that game was like sooooo last week. [Big Grin]

You're still playing it?

Posted by ae (Member # 3291) on :

My high score: 21596.9.

Posted by Trogdor the Burninator (Member # 4894) on :

The best version yet.
