hopefully not. I don't know what was wrong with that apples thing... oh well.

I really like this one! A lot! Great everything. I think I just spent 8 solid minutes playing with it. Only thing I would change, is maybe add a few more circles to the cursor. but that's just a personal preference. I think it'd look better when it stretches that way. But it's great! LOVE IT!

I was thinking about adding all sorts of options off to the side in dynamic text boxes and such since it's always really really really REALLY OMFGREALLYWTF hard to leave the global variables set to the same thing all the way through these kinds of programs since it's really cool to see the balls flying out of the curser at 100 mph and one of them every frame instead of one every 8 frames (so it's not so cluttered for the cpu challenged)

I did notice something worth noting here though, I've never seen this before but this runs beautifully when I run it in flash player or from flash itself but when I load it up in a web browser or view it in deviantart, the framerate drops from 60 to what looks like 40 and it generally gets more laggy. firefox/IE doesn't cap the framerate in flash apps does it?

I'm not sure, but I have the same problem with my "resume" on the flash version of my website. It lags a littel bit when you scroll the resume towards the bottom. Which is even weirder because it has NO problems as the top of the resume page. Now THAT doesn't make any sense to me! I don't think there's any framerate cap that I know of. Do you ever goto [link] ? Someone there will DEFINITELY know. Incredible forum.

And as for dynamic text boxes, I'd say dynamic Slider tabs. Much less thinking and work involved than a textbox(For the user).

the slider, although user friendly, imposes something I really hate when working with rather open ended toys like this one... a cap. if you have a slider, then you have a max.

even if it does kill my computer, I always love seeing how many balls I can spawn per frame, or putting in 99999 for every variable just to see what happens.
