Two of ours were born with severe handicaps but they are all insanely fun and fabulously good company. Not sure why my sibling comment was flagged.

Let me hijack this with a hate story about my wife and minigolf games. Back in 1996 she thought maybe she needed a hobby. She was a housewife and we didn’t have any children yet. She said maybe she could do a game. At the time I was working in Microsoft C++ and the Microsoft Foundation Classes framework, building Windows apps. She had never programmed a language more challenging than Turbo Pascal. When she asked how…
Miniature golf was a game I began twice for the Macintosh back in the 1990's but never ended up completing/shipping. I've just recently been trying to recover my nearly 35 year old sources and create disk images for use on an emulator.

I think from a user's perspective, it would be much more satisfying to somehow see the ball go in. It would give you more of a sense of achievement before the next level is loaded.
What do you think?
As someone who interned at Palm, love this so much!

Eh. No, just kidding, of course, it's just that project^W site has a huge Fabrice Bellard-factor to it. Very, very impressive.
