Out of the Blue

The Halloween festivities around MaisonBlue yesterday were quite fun. It was MrsBlue who bore the brunt of the little costumed munchkins, ably assisted by Hudson, who was wearing a costume of her own... a little doggie tuxedo which she seemed to really enjoy. She certainly enjoyed all the kids coming to the door too, I think she's convinced they were all here to visit her. A couple of people pointed out that last night was a rare Halloween full moon, something I would have mentioned if I remembered, but I'm especially disappointed that I failed to note that it was not only full, but last night was a Blue Moon, as noted in this story (thanks Zariic).

Finally, a big happy birthday to MamaBlue, still the best mom a guy could hope for.

If you go from the very bottom right and then right click and then click in the very upper left, you can get really high speeds (I got 4400 my first try =)

I'm seriously thinking all these 1000+ scores are bogus. The best I can do, with all the tricks, is 846.

I spanked the monkey at 6,729 miles per hour by moving the hand to the right, then right clicking on the screen to pause the animation. Then you just left click on the monkey! BAM!

I got slightly better than the guy at #27.

I hit that speed twice, which makes me wonder if it will actually go any faster.

Check it out , its funny... I always wondered what our pixelbased avatars do on their spare time.

did you notice the timeout between each screen? is it hardcoded into the animation or just a fluke?

Playing music that we mere humans think is 'good' like Bach and Prodigy is just plain stupid. Gee, dontcha think a freakin mouse would try to get away from just about any noise? Stupid, just plain stupid.

Anyway, I got a 640 with a Logitech optical. Yeah, set acceleration to max, and wind up at the bottom of the screen.

Oh Yea 51 baby...

At this time I would like to state that the little known fact that a monkey can not be spanked under 50 mph. I think it's a Darwin thing.

It seems that pointer speed is the name of the game. I was able to increase my monkey smackin' speed from 250 to 550 by cranking the pointer acceleration to the max.

The Legend oF Zelda link was pretty damn spiffy...Did they end up finding out who made it? Very cool animations indeed and it was very entertaining..

Cool!

1952, but not through any skill...
Kinda like the "moving the mouse out the right" technique; if you draw the hand back to the right, then press the right mouse (bringing up the context menu), the flash pauses. Just left-click on the left of the monkey's face, and see what you end up with.

I have a crappy ball mouse and the movement cranked down, so I can only get 52 normally :/

Oh man... I got a freak accident getting 6609 when I used that one trick of moving the mouse in the box from the left side.
