you just HAD to be that guy and outdo my warthog lol. at least you get the same score as me

I'm not sure its the internet speed but the computer speed. My computer is slow and my internet is pretty fast. I just checked it and it's 3.12mbps.

I will second that, we had our power go out for an hour last night and I was still able to play the game without an internet connection. I am using an Acer laptop and it's not the quickest unit around :lol:

i dont know... it wouldnt make much sense, but I was on the same computer at home and work. i brought it with me and it was faster. I assume it factors in to the equation, but its not the whole reason... All that matters i that if I want a high score, design at home, then race at work!

how many applications were running in each situation? I think free memory is the reason. My computer has 512mb of memory and it's always slow as crap and I'll never get under 30 seconds...

I tried this on my moms laptop, the speed and quality of the graphics processor makes a world of difference, i was able to get 15/15 22s 100%

4 wheeled machine with independent suspension :)

same laptop, with just firefox, with just that page

how long was the computer on each time? I'm sure you just didn't have as much free ram. The internet connection doesn't matter.

Im on a different computer with lots of ram, game runs very fast!

Secret to it is making a closing lid :)

100% in 14s

Best Ive gotten is 15/15 in 15 seconds. 99%

I build the same cart on another computer and the best I can do is 28 seconds. I am conviced that it is computer related on how fast you can go.

100% in 13 secs - I'm done...

PC speed up to a point is definatley a component...

Its addicting, I have been playing for 2 blocks at school

Ive been playing it since 1st qtr. Still my favorite online game.

Best I can get is 24 seconds, 15/15, and 96% efficiency. PC speed is definitely a factor.

Cant imagine what computer setup the guy that got 9secs was using.

Probably overclocked heavily. Makes sense; spend tons of cash to make your computer fast enough to do a 9 second coconut run on a free game. The reward must be the bragging rights.

I remember seeing a mac pro I think. It had 32gb ram.:gasp:

dont forget about the 8 core processors and 4TB of storage too!

or the dual (optical) superdrives!!

i like to go to the apple store online and build a best-you-can-get mac pro and imagine them shipping it to me. :lol: too bad it's over $15k... just for the tower! but 8 core processors? 4 independent drive bays for 4tb total? 32gb of ram? 2 superdrives? heh. lemme wipe the drool off my desk now....

At least the drool is stayin in my mouth for now... Buying the new shiny macbook this week!
And i have gotten to play on a mac pro before... A friend of mine has 2 in his office at work, with a total of 40 virtual machines running on them!

I feel special....

I didn't steal Ben's idea of a closing lid, of course not!:whistle::oops:

You didnt steal the idea from anyone. Many people have done it and know it works.

I was just kidding :p

You can also just put a bunch of wheels on the screen and watch them cascade around the level under your control. Quite fun :D

I actually like ceating a bunch of wheels attached by single "shock" devices and have them all rubber banding around each other. Very fun to watch...

15/15 in 14secs. Locked axle with a trapdoor design to keep the coconuts from escaping.

I had to work on a trvel to a place project in speech in the computer lab today. I'm going to Israel... Anyway I played this on the schools nice computers and building a quick vehicle I got 15/15 in 15 seconds.

Takedown thats a SWEET design.:surprised:

Thanks metal. :lol:

I think the draw-a-rectangle prices are lighter then the regular sticks, so that might decrease your times a little. I have to experiment for myself but I wanT to know the ideal wheel size. Just like gearing an rc...
