I made this game in 45 minutes out of shear boredom. I will not upload the source because it will make it too easy to fake a screen shot of the win screen. Well... here it is:

[note] There is ALWAYS a green object, it can just be very hard to find at times. And yes I know that sometimes you are forced to reset because you can't get to the green object. But MOST of the time you will be able to if you are skillful enough. I wouldn't offer a reward if it were easy but I have beaten it so It is possible ( with 81 restarts but you will learn that they come fast enough )

The purpose is to move your ball and collide with the green object.
there are 21 levels. Every 5 levels new shapes are added and your ball is moved above the old shapes so that colliding with them is impossible ( so you only collide with the current shapes ). You also get a new save spot every 5 levels. The top number shows the level you are on and the bottom shows how many times you collide with the wrong objects.

The 21st level is the hardest as the object you need to collide with is the same color and shape as everything else, includeing the player. Also, the player is not placed in the bottom left of the screen rather, the player is placed randomly among the objects. Colliding with the wrong one here causes you to jump to a random level.

Enjoy...
[EDIT] To clear this up, its to the FIRST person that beats it not everyone..

Additional challenges:
First person to beat it: Ruldopho
Beat it with LESS than my resets ( 81 ): Ruldopho ( 24 )
bear it in LESS than 30 minutes: None yet...

Ok it doesn't work past 5 on any comp other than my laptop... I will fix it and get back to you guys sorry!! ( not that it stops when the object numbers exceed 150 on the screen, also it may have something to do with the fact that I add cones to the screeen )

for now, try to put dxd9_45.dll or what ever it's called in the same directory as the exe

Vista gave me this when It froze up, It freezes up when run in release mode, I will test a debug.exe version if it runs ( I know it's bigger but if it works right? ) I will upload it, otherwise I will load the source so you can run it via debug.

DEP can help protect your computer by monitoring your programs to make sure that they use system memory safely. If DEP notices a program on your computer using memory incorrectly, it closes the program and notifies you.

[edit]
Use the .exe from here, worked for me...

also check out these images, the first is me next to the green ball in a hard spot to get to it the second is the 6-10 levels

http://picasoe.iwarp.com/img_1.jpg
http://picasoe.iwarp.com/img_2.jpg
http://picasoe.iwarp.com/img_3.jpg
http://picasoe.iwarp.com/img_4.jpg

img_3 is me on the third level, I posted this to show you how hard it is to see the green object on the third level... it IS there


Also, Inregard to a post i read, you only reset to 1 until you reach 6, at level 6 - 10 you reset to 6, 11-15 resets to 11 16-20 resets to 16 and 21 resets to a random level...

The green ball in the last image is somewhere off the screen, but it's there. Thats one of the challenges that far in, is that sometimes it hides from you 8- )

Made it to level 21, than I got reset to 18 and gave up lol good luck to you all

( download moved to first post )

Made it to level 20. Often the random level design makes it impossible. And I mean literally impossible.
Plus, the green cylinder, when seen end-on, is almost invisible sometimes.

If it weren't for the cash prize, I wouldn't even have gone past level 5 before giving up. As it is, you sustained my interest a little longer

The only reason I offered a prize is because no one will win 8-P you will always give up first. Look at the screen shots I posted, they show me getting pretty far without too many resets, Just keep in mind that this is in 3d, you can get closer to the objects than you think...

@dragon knight, this is the first I've heard of that lol, I did know that some of the objects were not being tested for collision so you could go right through them but this happens at random, to be lucky enough to go straight through all the objects to get to level 8 is strange...

@diggsey if you won post an image of the winner's screen 8-D

Haha, no, I don't really need the money, I was just joking around
Extremely annoying game though, especially when objects are positioned off-screen (is this intended?).
Basically I just moved outside the screen and timed how long you had to hold down the keys to travel a certain distance.
Sometimes it's completely impossible though, as the target spawns inside of another object; you should probably do something about that - who wants to play a game that might be impossible to win?

Lol, if you read all of my other posts, all of that is intentional, and you obviously didn't have TOO much trouble..

Well, thing is, you can't really call it a "game" if the levels are built on randomization to such an degree that from time to time it is impossible to win. For example if the target is off-screen, or clustered in between collidible objects.

Now, go fix it

Lol, I made it in 45 minutes sitting on my couch out of boredom and than played it for a couple hours to kill time. I'd say it's served it's purpose.

You only need to do two things to this game and it would actually be addictive.

First of all - obviously - make an algorithm that makes every level possible.

Second, make a button on the keyboard cause your player to shrink in size by 50% or something, but for a short period of time. Only allow them to shrink again when they've moved a certain amount of distance after the shrink - to prevent them from just constantly waiting to be able to shrink again. Now you've got a tactic involved where every time there is a tight space the player has to shrink themselves and rush through it quickly before they return to normal size. Obviously you would need safe spots around the map that the player could travel to when they're about to grow back.

If you would like the source I will post it now so you guys can make your own imporvements to help cure YOUR boredom.
