How far can you Throw It?

My best: 234319

?

Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :

138722, and I must say that it is the most boring game I have ever experienced.

Is there a point?

Posted by ? (Member # 2319) on :

No, I was just really, really bored.

It's harder than it looks. What's your method?

Posted by FlyingCow (Member # 2150) on :

I just topped 85k, and I'm going to sleep.

Posted by Treason (Member # 7587) on :

This thing is at 275,000 and it's still going....I'm "playing" it in another window. I'm going to bed, the point of this escapes me.

It stopped at 284,914. I dont even know how it happened...

With this game you really can't say you're doing anything else than just wasting time... [Big Grin]

79484. And I don't even want to think about the laws of physics this violates. Make it go farther by throwing it higher?

Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :

It's like the penguin game!

Posted by Treason (Member # 7587) on :

198.4 This one is more fun. And cute!

edit: now 308.3 [Smile]

Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :

How the crap did you hit it 420? I can BARELY break the 320 mark.

Posted by Treason (Member # 7587) on :

Finally! I hit 320.5
This is so weird but I could do this for quite a while. I'm going to try and break 420.5! [Smile]

Bah! I give up-at only 323.5. [Grumble]

For the penguin game. Yeah. Really!

Posted by Beren One Hand (Member # 3403) on :

323. I miss the juiced-up version of the penguin game. [Smile]

Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :

I can't get to 6 digit numbers in the throw game.

Posted by MandyM (Member # 8375) on :

49445... ok but can I get neopoints for it?

Posted by akhockey (Member # 8394) on :

A little known fact of the throw game....after you throw it and it says "new personal record! reset"....you can throw it again and it will just keep adding to your record. Lameness.

Posted by Procrastination (Member # 4821) on :

I love this game.

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

[ROFL]

You would.

Posted by FlyingCow (Member # 2150) on :

Stopping the penguin thing at 323.5... I think the 420.5 was a typo. [Evil]

Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :

2147483648 on the penguin one. Seriously.

If you want to know how to get it, open a new copy of the window (it'll only work on the first swing edit: nevermind, it works on further swings), click once to start the penguin down, then click to swing right as the penguin is passing out of where you can hit it.

There's a variable underflow problem (due to the way the distance is stored, if it tries to put in a negative number you instead get a very large positive number; the largest that variable could store if the number is negative one).

Posted by Treason (Member # 7587) on :

ahhhh 214748.... I got it! [No No]

That's cheating! [Razz]

Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :

(Oh, and I know what the digits you can't see are because its 2^31).

Posted by Treason (Member # 7587) on :

Ok, you must be really good at math.
I am not.

[Laugh]

Treason, math moron.

Hmmm... that didn't work for me.

My personal best is 302254 but I wasn't able to add to it. Is it because I'm using Firefox?

Posted by Shawshank (Member # 8453) on :

Not a cool game.

Hey, speaking of flash games- do any of you know where 3D Pong from addictinggames.com went? I used to play that all the time- it now doesn't have a link from the website, and the actual webpage- I've found it a few times, no longer contains the game! Now all they have is curveball. [Grumble]

Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :

Nope, but I found Ping Pong 3D. I'll keep looking though.

Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :

Wait, is this more along the lines of what you were talking about?

Posted by Treason (Member # 7587) on :

ohhhhh that was cool.

Posted by ? (Member # 2319) on :

Anyone up for some more mindless distance games?

Spear Toss

Best: 533.959 (without a foul)

?

Yes, it's another boring night.

Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :

That crazy vertical ping-pong (my brother calls it Gnip-Gnop "ganip-gahnop") was addictive! I played for almost an hour.

Posted by Beren One Hand (Member # 3403) on :

Ah, that spear toss is addicting.

535.005 (padawon 3rd place score whoo hooo!)

Posted by Treason (Member # 7587) on :

So far, the highest I got was 520.474. Thanks a lot ?, for giving me something else inane to do on the computer!
Now 527.924

Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :

I got something over 600,000 but I fouled.
