That way one end of the slinky could be the "head", that you move around and point with the mouse. It would add a bit more control over direction and power.

I think a dramatic change in control scheme would definitely help it.

Frankly to me a mouse is a terrible method to control it. Using keyboard arrows or WASD would work much better and allow better control. The issue with the mouse is that everyone has a different mouse, everyone has a different sensativity setting also. Making reactions with the mouse either far to fast or slow. With the keyboard the respone time would be much more even and controlled. I wouldnt imagine coding in keyboard controlls, and leaving the mouse controll for those who want it. The controll issue also happens to be my big issue with the Ski Simulator also, mouse for controlls in these types of games = bad, at least IMO. The big problem is the controlls.

The spring should basicaly look as if it is trying to stretch out towards the cursor. And it each of the corners would be a node, and the closest node will be attracted to the mouse, and the second closest node would be attracted some-what. So there will be no fliping of the controls and stuff. See if it is posible to do this. -Sean I have an idea for the control sceme…

This test and my weird physics worm test turned out remarkably similar: http://www.steveswink.com/Wormsworth/Info_Wormsworth_01.htm It seems like there's got to be some fun gameplay in there somewhere, but it'd be a lot of work to find it, methinks. Nice article. Vive la Sprinky! I can still beat the second snow stage, huzzah! This test and my weird physics worm test turned out remarkably similar:

It's no all bad though, i actually had some fun after a while of playing this. But by that time my brain was reduced to a sloppy mush trying to get the hang of it. :-) Unfortunatley the game is more about looks than it is about a good physiscs game, at least thats the impression when i played it.
