Old one. I tried it but lack of "undo" really sucks with this one. Anyway, here's probably the most famous line rider demo: Mountain Line Rider BTW, anyone can identify music in the video?
Very cool. It's astonishing what people with lots of free time in their hads can do... and, by the way, the song is Banquet, by Bloc Party, from its album Silent Alarm.

To keep it interesting for today's jaded youth I think you need some moving obstacles. Cute, lovable small animals randomly traversing the screen would be splattered by the bouncing ball, but merely crippled by a roller. Scoring could be a combination of kills and cripples, with bonus points for multiple hits on a bounce. Bunnies would be able to leap up to escape, but not always - obviously they'd score more than squirrels, which only stand up and stare at approaching deadly objects. Of course, crippled bunnies can't jump as well, so they'd score lower on a kill. A few turtles would be interesting, too. A ball landing on the very edge of the shell would send it caroming across the field of play, possibly making numerous kills or merely shearing the legs off other animals (counting only as maiming) in its passage. These points would accrue to the player whose ball struck the turtle. Slicing the legs off a game warden with a hurtling turtle would carry a large bonus. Kittens would score least of all, as they're inclined to chase the damned ball and get plowed under on the rebound. Not terribly bright, kittens, but we're not running out of them.

He was a snowflake, like other "unique" snowflakes, falling down, getting stepped on, and pushed aside to disappear.

And... what's wrong with that? Also, its called entertainment. And definately holds value as such. Similar to the jokes/anecdotes you post quite frequently. ;)

It's been done, and in c# no less. Check out the PhysicsIllustrator application (designed for Tablet PCs) from Microsoft http://www.microsoft.com/indonesia/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/tabletpc.aspx[^]. The source code is available from Microsoft Research http://research.microsoft.com/research/downloads/Browse.aspx?categoryID=0&sortCriteria=shortName&sortOrder=ascending[^]. Granted, PhysicsIllustrator is not a "game" per-se, but it's a heck of a lot of fun. The trick to running it on a non-Tablet PC is: 1) run it from the source code or 2) unpack the msi installer with the command line switch /a, then copy the application to where you want it and run it from there. Works like a champ. :)
