A game for engineers.

You have to get a small red object inside a goal area, and you assemble a "contraption" out of wheels and connectors. Then you hit Start, and watch what happens.

You... you ... ADDICTOR you!

...an hour after reading this I realized I'd better get moving on other things...

I haven't even tried playing it yet, but I watched Kevin. It's addicting just to watch! I'm going to have to try it for myself.

An hour? I bet I spent eight hours there, last night and today. Ugh.

Did you notice that once you complete a level, you can look at other people's solution? It makes me feel so inferior. :-) Some of the designs are so simple. And some... There's one with a giant dancing robot.

I was having a go at this when EC came and watched me. Now it's difficult to get him to do anything else. 8~)

Yeah, I know the feeling. Sorry about that.

More EC news: he's now paid $10 to be able to make his own levels. He told one of his school friends about it, and now several kids go to the school computer room at lunch time to play.

See what you've done! 8~O

Make sure you give me credit when he becomes a successful engineer. ;-)

That'll be your fault too.
