Stupid game with penguins

Not a Mame game, but I've found a very silly (but very addictive if you try it) game at :
http://www.feelosophee.com/pinguin.swf
(if somebody is interested, I can send the exe file to install on your HD)
As me and my friends are trying to figure out hiscore(s), I post there to see if somebody can beat one of my scores there :

Thanks to take a screen capture (there is no hiscore table in this basic game)

I tried about 15-20 swings worth.
My 4th swing was my best. I got 323.3.
On your screenshots page(where the screenshots don't show) if the top text means you got 323.5 then you have me by a nose.
That difference must almost be some slight random element or perhaps there is a slightly gusty wind. I didn't check to see if any wind indicators.
I'm guessing 323+ is a perfect hit with the slight randomness for luck for the differences at that point.

Of course they show up for you. You can access your hard disk: file:///E:/jeuxhumour/PingouinMax=323m5.jpg

Two top screenshots show ok now, but not the two others.
Can you tell me what does these mean:
jet le plus long - is this longest distance?
jet le plus court - shortest distance?
plante le plus long - ?
plante le plus court - ?

Should work now for the 4 screenshots
Yes : plus long = longest ; plus court = shortest ; and "planté" means the penguin has the nose in the ice

as there are some versions of this game where you can score more, it gets a little silly...
its yet another flash fad

Penguin's initial falling speed:
Penguin's speed after hitting it:
Code: Select all
pby = _y - _parent.ball._y + (random(16) - 8);
______________________________________________
_parent.ball.xspeed = (145 - pby) / -3;
_parent.ball.yspeed = -45 - _parent.ball.xspeed;
My signature says it all.

ahh, so the small differences in distances are totally from the random factor. ie. my 323.3 is an identical hit to those that got 323.5.
I also later had a 321 so I guess that also is that same "perfect" hit but not as great of a random number selection.

This time .... near 1000.
The head landed between two mines, they exploded at once, and.... new record

yeah, I think once beyond 600 it's all luck of where the mines are...and how you exactly hit them whether your forward momentum continues or not.
Man, that penguin head certainly holds a lot of blood.
