crappest game in the world (rapid acceleration)

playworker said:
"Arriving at work" is always when the timer gets to 10 minutes late, if you start the game and tap the Up arrow so the car's moving at 1mph then you arrive at work before actually encountering any obstacles or children. If only real life was so simple

WTF is the point in this? Teaching us that you're always gonna be late, so you always need to be going faster than the last time.

You can do better than that. You can sit in the car completely stationary without going anywhere and still arrive 10 minutes late. Maybe this guy works in his car or something.

I probably have too much time on my hands but I was bored and took a look at the 'physics' behind this game:

Code: 
inertia = 8.800000;
iforce = inertia;
accel = 1.300000;
weighting = 8.000000;

zebra_frequency = 25;
parked_frequency = 90;
other_frequency = 68;
inertia controls how effective the brakes are; the higher the number the worse they are.
Oh, and the game is hard-coded to always make you 10 minutes late.

Just for fun, here's a modified version with proper brakes :p

Much better version :D

Thank you for your e-mail, we will review the value of the 'Speeding game'
with a view to removing it.

"Dear Madam.

I suggest you create a game entitled "Crossing" which teaches children not to remain stationary, or change directions at random, on zebra crossings throughout the country. As viewed in one of your recent 'games' these are a hazard to themselves and others and prevent us reaching work in time.

If they remain on the crossing, or dawdle, the force of a small nuclear weapon would be unleashed on their home town (in the game, I stress) educating them the wrongs about their doings.

Best regards,
Mr K."

The only thing that I can gather from this is that in real life, kids have much smaller clipping boxes. Generally they dont stand there when there is a guy speeding at them at 70 in a 30mph zone either.
 
You were 10 minutes late but you got to work without injuring anyone.

That fact your are late for work would be of no help to the parents of a child who dies to your excessive speed.

So you drive carefully, dont hit anyone and get there late. And still they think you deserve a lecture about the children you could have killed.

What a bunch of nobbers to make this 'game'. Next go I'm going it at 100.

But they stay on it! You try and get through a gap in the children, and they walk in to your almost stationary car, and die!

Stop on the wrong side of the road, just next to the centre line. You can save a few seconds as you can get going before all the brats have finished crossing.

Out of interest, what did you use to modify the swf file?
 
This game is so stupid lol!

If the government are working out the stopping distances taking consideration of those rubbish brakes into mind, no wonder there are stupid speed limits everywhere, even the brakes in my corsa are better than those!

Although I am not quite sure what the game is trying to prove, I suspect the game is ramming the following messages down our throats:

a) You need to be concentrating on the road not only 2 meters in front of the car.
b) You need brakes that arent made out of cheese.
c) The council should really REALLY do something about the roadworks.
d) Children shouldn't play on the roads.

Have a pleasant, wrapped-up-cotton-wool-24/7 day.
