Water Attractors

Post by Silence » Sat Sep 23, 2006 10:55 pm

There's a PCWorld blog by Steve Bass on Water Attractors. It's a neat little "game" that proves a little entertaining for some random reason. Not very relevant to this site, but since it's related in the fact that it deals with water, I decided that I might as well post the link anyway.

You know, I can't believe he gets paid to search the web for little things like that. It is pretty nifty though--life would be so much harder without those regular blogs. wink.gif

The site didn't work for me in Firefox. I did a ton of Macromedia/Adobe Flash plugin tweaking, and I uninstalled IrfanView which had claimed the file type, but it still didn't work--I ended up using IEView. Funny how Bass doesn't want to admit that he uses IE--he always refers to "my browser."

I suppose this thread could also go under Gaming or Internet...

that game gave me an idea. I know theyre not actual water attractors but I'm sure there would be a way to design a water deflector that is probably too expensive and not very practical. I was thinking of using some form body armour to deflect a stream of water just like a ballon does using static electricity.
I was thinking maybe an electro magnet could do a similar job. I may look into it further but it was just a side thought relating water wars to this game.

That actually sounds really, really interesting. If you plan to investigate that further, I'm interested. Good luck!
