Default OT-A game to drive you batty

I just got this from a friend about 3 minutes ago and so far the best I
could do was 7 seconds.

It's a real quickie and a good one.

The object of the game is to move the red block around without getting hit
by the blue blocks or touching the black walls.

If you can go longer than 18 seconds you are phenomenal.


The US Air Force uses this for fighter pilots.
They are expected to go for at least 2 minutes.
Give it a try but be careful...it is addictive!!

I managed 19.4 on my 4th attempt. As you say - addictive - but I have to go
to bed (Once I`ve forwarded it to drive everyone else nuts!)!

It took me about eight tries, but I dot to 20.5 seconds. Must go back
and try again. Part of it is being deliberate and not moving too fast
so that you hit the walls.

When I used to play this on my older computer (which is now the kids'
machine), I could go 60+ seconds easy. But when I play on my work
machine or on my new computer, I routinely get zapped by 8 seconds.
Processor speed makes a HUGE difference!!

I'll second that - doing it on the dual processor MAC tower - I can get to
about 8 seconds as well, but on DH's Dell laptop... Well over 20 sec. And
we're on fiber connections here in hi-tech land - so between the really fast
machine, and the fiber connection - web stuff is amazingly fast.
