A simple game in which the mouse is used to tilt a board.
Balls roll on the board and you have to keep them from falling off.
Balls have different inertia factors which affect how quickly
they respond to changes in the angle of the board.

That's worth a go, and should make it even trickier to keep multiple balls on the go at the same time.

I have now added random inertia assignments to the balls so that their responses to changes in tilt are not uniform.

Nice idea! The tilting of the board seems a bit jerky though and it's hard to get the mouse right on it - any chance it could be smoothened up?
djb writes (on 2008-8-9):
I will see what I can do about the jerkiness. You don't have to put the mouse on the board, it works anywhere on the world, just measuring the offset from the initial press to the current position.

Ahh it was me, I was dragging it up and down rather than left and right!

I have an idea to make it a bit trickier - instead of all the balls starting at 0 velocity, you could assign them a small value to start with just so you're forced to do something rather than sit there with them all accumulating in the middle!

Wow, now that's tough!
