How to play:
Press 'Run' and then click-and-drag the golden ball. Clear the
board within the given number of moves. Bonus points are awarded
for keeping the golden ball on the board when it is cleared, and
for finishing in fewer moves than indicated. You earn an additional try
for every three boards cleared.

New in this version: More (and more interesting) levels.

Ideas for the future:
Levels (so that you only go to the beginning of the current level
when you lose, not the very start of the game).
"Black marbles": these must not fall of the board (but will be somewhat
in the way).
Smoking marbles (these must be cleared off the board within a given
time, or they'll explode...)

To stop an object being moved, lock the scenario. You can do this with a checkbox at the bottom of the 'Export' dialogue.

Love the extra levels in this, especially the ones with the wooden blocks!

Fixed a bug: when gold marble drops, don't lose the board immediately, but wait until other balls stop to see whether the board is cleared.

wow, if clicked the run button again while its game over, i can play it again :D

mjrb4 writes (on 2008-10-26):

You can as well! Perhaps another bugfix needed ;) Got a bit further this time - though I got stuck on board 10.

mik writes (on 2008-10-27):

I got to board 15. I could get to 12 without losing a try, but then I lost a few tries on every board from then on...

Number 13 is evil... but this is a great scenario. I still can't tell whether the angle is calculated from the image of the marble it hits including or excluding the shadow. How many boards did you create?

mik writes (on 2008-11-17):

There are 16 boards at the moment. Maybe I should ad a mechanism that allows you to start at a later level once you've solved it before... As it is, maybe nobody has ever seen Board 14 (my favourite)...
