Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

That was fun. Completed it :D

Pitiful score though. I often just went for the easy route rather than trying to get a long path. My last shot was a real beauty though. Went off screen 7 times :D

Complete fluke of course :D

Now this isn't fair. I put Kevin in an orbit that would have eventually put him in his space ship...but after about 100,000 meters, he just stops. Bastards. It would've been awesome. Then I missed two more times just going straight before putting him in.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

my first time through
Reply #7 on: December 05, 2004, 06:03:04 pm
389,984   but to tell you the truth half were lucky first tries. Seems like the futher up in level made no difference you had equal amount of impossibly hard BS with incredible easy... I would have made it easy tehn harder all the way up consistantly not alternating...

ie:  level 24 took me 60 tries! (which gimped my score obviously), but level 25 was a one shot putt. Go figure...

it was fun first time through, I'm done

Edit: Distance 100,000, that is, well 150,000 now...

you guys think you got weird orbits....




white is all one orbit, goes back and forth between two planets, doesnt go around either.


and this one will result in a good score (dark blue), the shape of the orbit is turning clockwise
