For all of you bored with hitting penguins, here is another little game (HTML + Javascript).  Quite simple and addictive.  My record is about 26 seconds.  I recommend IE to run it, Mozilla seems to experience a few glitches with this code.

True....these posts are deadly. I had no choice but to keep playing until I beat your score. 26.639. Here's more penguin fun. Penguins plus physics even... http://www.bigideafun.com/penguins/arcade/spaced_penguin/default.htm

just stay in safe corners 28.59 ...

63 seconds. It would be much harder to stay alive if the game creator added a random move at the beginning. With the current version, after going south just when the game begins, you can go in the top-left corner and stay there 13 seconds without any trouble.

Hint: Use a slower computer. I had no difficulties moving the box for several minutes until I got bored.

My computer is too fast, and I only have a stick mouse on my laptop. I can only get 18 seconds. mbg

In the spirit of your little games here is another one: http://www.seethru.co.uk/zine/south_coast/helicopter_game.htm Check out http://www.bbspot.com "Daily Links" to find more and more of these (among other great links).

Ok, for a random start to the game. Add this to the JavaScript, And change the movenemies() method as below.... var directions = new Array(8); for (i = 0;i &lt;8;i++) { directions[i] = getRandom(-20,20); } function getRandom(min,max) { return (Math.round(Math.random()*(max-min)))+min; } function movenemies() { .... //movenemy(0,-10,12); //movenemy(1,-12,-20); //movenemy(2,15,-13); //movenemy(3,17,11); movenemy(0,directions[0],directions[1]); movenemy(1,directions[2],directions[3]); movenemy(2,directions[4],directions[5]); movenemy(3,directions[6],directions[7]); .... }

Looks like the "Back to my weblog" link broke it. :/ The borders are shifted down, but the code uses the old (higher) values. I'm using Mozilla Firebird, but it worked beautifully before the link was added, so I'm guessing it should be an easy fix.

Thanks Cedric! Moving the link to the bottom worked beautifully.

its not at all representative i imagine playing it on a supercomputer "your time: 0,03 sec"

The game with the red and blue blocks is great, but we've noticed the timer is different on every machine! On one machine I get 25 seconds dying at the same place everytime, but I get 30 seconds on another computer. Does anyone here know enough JavaScript to make it use a more reliable timer? BTW, if anyone's looking for another time-waster, check out my 3D minesweeper game (not crap like all the other 3D versions I've seen!). http://www.software3D.com/Mines3D Rob.

I've gotten 27.6 and it gets crazy starting at 26. The timer isn't reliable. There should be a more reliable method to score this thing, such as the number of pixels traversed by one of the blocks. Unfortunately, the speed still varies wildy by machine. A flash version of this would probably be more consistent...

I guess most of you dont believe. My record is 0.04seconds. I havent read comments, but I am trying to make it 0.01second.

kiran

I wont believe this. Maybe the JavaScript didnt gave me the correct time. I got '0' second.

Simple but amazing game. Yeah, i have to agree it's quite addictive, it's funny to see how we don't need huge games with 3d graphics to have fun. I think the key is originality, kind of remind my how the copter game was cool when it was the first of it's kind ;)

13 secs :(

228 seconds, able to get infinite amount of time if creator didnt make it so easy to cheat.
