I've been playing it two ways 1) as intended, longest distance 2) shortest distance (greater than the 0.02 min) My longest so far is 533.59, shortest is .0809999 [Linked Image]

I can't make him get anything more then 323 feet if I let him run all the way up to the foul line. Every time, almost exactly the same distance! What am I doing wrong?

Every time, almost exactly the same distance! What am I doing wrong? Start altering the angle a few centimetres before the stones. Try to get an angle of 45 degrees right before the stones, it'll fly. EDIT: First throw of the morning: 512.883 If it means being on the computer all morning to try to get on that high scores list, so be it

For example.. if you click before that last palm tree... it keeps going up, making the spear go higher, until you release the mouse button. - Deb

(btw, you know it doesn't make any sense you got 100ft farther than all other players, which are a few thousand) Edit: 534.707!! only .200 less than the minimum in "today's highs"!!!

IMO, it doesn't measure the distance you throw the spear (as LK observed earlier), but the time it's in the air. Divide the number it gives you by 100, and that's the number of seconds it was in the air for. So say, an angle of 60 degrees is crucial. I think.
