Congrats, Blengine!! Oh dear, if I wasn't living behind the moon, I'd have realized that the p3 is a blueray player. You might have had additional competition.

Cheers

Well, I must tell all the doubters that the first and second place winners are real.

Despite running Win XP, blengine and endif's didn't work. Blengine's tennis ball missed the dominoes and endif's ruler didn't knock down the ball that should have fallen in the glass.

However, after spending the past 45 minutes tweaking and slightly adjusting certain objects in the two files slightly, they both play all the way through. Moving one object in blengine's file makes the ball fall on the dominoes and it plays fine. In endif's I had to add a few more polys to the bottom rail the first ball falls through to get it to consistently make the dominoes fall. After that it was fine.

So to those for whom they don't play right because of physics calculation discrepancies, you can tinker with them a bit and make them work.

Dang, I can't see any of the videos at school because they blocked youtube.

The .blend files should work on windows 32bit. The physics behaviour differs on different platform so you might not be able to run each machine to the end.

That's why the Youtube movies are on the website.

Enjoy!
