#32This thing is hilarious! I love how this renders the picked up objects so well; it really shows if you try to pick up images! Nice work!
I didn't think it picked up images. I guess I needed to roll my ball a bit bigger before trying that!
If you uncheck realistic pickups, images stick much better.

#33Woo - nice to see this on HN (I'm one of the creators). EDIT: We're serving this off ec2 + apache. It's all static html + js. Any quick tips for speeding things up?
Ok, we switched everything over to S3. Everything should be much faster now. Looks like we have a ~275MB access.log from before the switch. Over a million requests! $ wc -l access.log 1115447 access.log
To quote the King of all Cosmos: "We are moved to tears by the size of this thing."
Really well done, I love it. The only shame was that the music didn't work on Safari, but maybe it's just how I roll.

#34I helped teach and judge at about 10 of the Hack-U competitions while I was at Yahoo and it always amazed me how ingenius the students are.
Congratulations to the team on a great project and it's really nice to see how savvy about web technology the students at Wash-U are.

This will work in Opera too if you add -o- to the POSSIBLE_TRANSFORM_PREFIXES array.

#38New update out: Now you can select controls (left/right click, or touch). Try running it twice, once with right-click, and again with left-click.
Also for dynamic pages, run the script after the content changes and click the "x", and the new content should be pick-uppable.
