My roommate is using a bot to cheat at the penguin game

[WinkOsmosis]

He wrote a program that clicks the mouse then clicks again after a certain # of milliseconds. He just enters the ms and clicks "go".

Wow how geeky of him.

 

[WinkOsmosis]

He says it's not constant. He put in 1400ms and it goes a different distance each time.

 

[datalink7]

Best I can get is 316

Whoa... that's weird... hmm... but it's around the same distance right?

Or maybe his bot is flawed.

I'm getting varying results with the same delay in between clicks. Best so far is 319.9 with a 1400ms delay. It's usually getting anywhere from 150-270 with a 1400ms delay.

a pc will not process mouse clicks at 1400 times per second, well at least i doubt it will

also is the flash game mouse detection limited to the fps scene?

 

[datalink7]

Just got 320.2 with no cheating

[Jgtdragon]

322.9, leading the thread so far!

It's not 1400 clicks per second, i was using 1400 milliseconds as the delay in between two clicks.

i know, but i doubt the system windows/flash uses is accurate to 1/1400 of a second

have you tried using high priority on the app?

It's not 1/1400 of a second. 1400 ms = 1.4 s

 

[matt426malm]

317.9 my best so far

 

[radioactiveballpoint]

Good idea bsmithy, I set both the app and IE to realtime priority and the results are much more consitent now. Now I just have to find the sweet spot for the ultimate high score!

 

[Vich]

324 here!

Still, i don't think that changing it between 1400 and 1375 would make much of a difference, still based on luck

or you could just make an app to send a high score to the server

1200000m?

AFAIK, 323.5 is the maximum allowable. This game has been discussed on games all over the web. I and dozens of other people have gotten 323.5, but nobody has gotten higher. There's a variant of the game that allows incredible distances, nearly 600, but the original is limited. I think the max distance for the lawn dart, high loft faceplant penguin flight is 206.7

then how did vich get 324

 

[speg]

He rounded up

 

[Danman]

I got a 323.4, that's all I can get. I haven't got a 323.5.....something new to try for!

yea got that exact number several times

 

[WTT0001]

323.4 for me, 207.6 Face Plant and 65.5 is the shortest so far

Face plant @ 207.6 beats the "max" of 206.7???

Edit: 578.1, 492.3 Face Plant on the second link so far

 

[cavemanmoron]

i got 276.4 so far,LOL
