Prove you can get in the hole in just 6 putts, damn you.
daemonologist•56m ago
You can bounce the ball up slightly (presumably the spin from rolling is modeled or approximated, and gives lift when hitting a bumper), which might be enough to skip from the tee to near the end of the course. Not sure that should be considered for "par" though. Took me 14.
cluckindan•39m ago
I made it in 3. Git gud.
jdauriemma•18m ago
I scored 5. Bank at max power at 5 o’clock from tee, the ball bounces over the wall and skips most of the course.
foco_tubi•7m ago
edit LocalStorage and you can have whatever score you like

ben0x539•57m ago
screenshot of finishing with 4 strokes / 6 par (tho my locked-in daily result was 14 strokes).

The video is bouncing the ball of a wall right at the start to make it jump over the wall, water, and corner behind the start, to skip most of the track.

1. Download Tor Browser from https://www.torproject.org/download/

2. Visit the site in Tor Browser

3. Tell everyone you know about 1 and 2, and remind them that if they ever actually "verify their age" or any other bullshit, they're likely to have their identity stolen and their details leaked. Never do this. Tell the government to suck a fat one.

4. Use https://www.writetothem.com/ to write to your MP and tell them to repeal the Online Safety Act. It's a censorship and surveillance regime, it makes nobody any safer.

5. Consider joining https://www.openrightsgroup.org/

6. Vote Labour out of power at the next election. Tell all the other parties that they'll have your vote if they repeal the Online Safety Act

Retr0id•1h ago
Feels like there's too much rolling resistance, even with a perfectly lined up shot there's not so far you can go. And definitely not enough to make it in 6!

Also if the camera angle is too high, you can't pull back far enough to reach maximum speed.

ellg•1h ago
tweaking this currently, thanks for the feedback
Retr0id•56m ago
My pasteable "scorecard" was fairly simplistic, just 8 solid green circles followed by an ellipsis. I think you could improve this by dividing the course into regions (either visibly or invisibly - same number of regions as the par) and considering each hit to be green if it makes forward progress, amber if it doesn't, or red if it goes backwards. And don't truncate it if it takes more than 8 shots!
munro•9m ago
If you bounce off the wall at the start, and RNG gods look down on you, you're lined up to go through castle on first shot. Then knock it through castle, and lined up for 3rd final putt into hole.

But I agree with those points. I feel like real putt putt glides more, then more resistance at slower speeds then slow speeds have more resistance. And then yeah, default camera angles are troublesome--it makes it impossible to do full power shot at some angles too.

sergiotapia•1h ago
Par 6 seem impossible? At least 15 necessary at the least?
Retr0id•1h ago
I got it in 15 but overshot the last 2, so I'd say 13 at least is possible. But definitely not 6!
duncancarroll•58m ago
There's a trick to it
cactusplant7374•58m ago
I got 12. I'm not going to tell you the secret though.
recursive•30m ago
6 is possible. Just did it. Less is possible. Hitting a wall gives you a vertical impulse. That can be used.
slopinthebag•20m ago
I did it in 3, but you need to hit a jump from the start over, and roll far enough to go through the arch on shot 2.
Hugsbox•44m ago
This is really awesome! But par 6 is absolute bullshit. I thought I was doing really good, made great progress with every putt, didn't seem to make any major mistakes... but way over par :( I'll return tomorrow and try again

I got a Birdie! You don't just have to follow the main path...(mysterious sounds)
hankbond•43m ago
It's cute but the physics feel off. Something about the bouncing feels like it dampens the momentum too much, and the rolling resistance also feels like it's too aggressive. I really did not like the ramp that pushes for you.
ellg•36m ago
ya its still a wip, I appreciate the feedback though and I do want to keep tweaking stuff like this. Feel free to add feedback at the end of level prompts too if you feel like it, I'll be reading all of them

kjgkjhfkjf•31m ago
I like the concept. It's fun. Feedback:

1. The ball seems a bit soft. I suggest you get a real golf ball and putter and see how they behave, if you haven't already.

2. It would be nice if the camera positioned automatically so that it's roughly in the direction the ball should go on the next shot.

3. There were a bunch of flying yellow blobs. I was not sure what they were supposed to be.

em-bee•20m ago
i agree on the camera direction. that is annoying.

the flying blobs are other players going wild

montag•30m ago
The score card should reflect your latest playthru even if it “doesn’t count.”
em-bee•18m ago
or the best one, so i can challenge myself to improve.
lellow•26m ago
fun little game!
wuliwong•24m ago
Freakin awesome. Hahahah, I love that there are 'cheats' and the fact that you can see everyone playing definitely makes it cool! You can even get hints by watching the ghost players. Great job!
falsaberN1•6m ago
Adorable little game, works very well! In today's hole I found a little shortcut by bouncing back from the starting position into just before the little "house" and managed to complete the hole in 4 shots. I like that such things are possible, feels satisfying.
Retr0id•44m ago
Honestly I assumed imgur blocked tor exits, but you're right, it doesn't (at least not in my test just now).

I configured my host-based proxy multiplexer to use tor for *.imgur.com, and now I'm free!

spython•58m ago
You can go from the starting position to the last u-turn, skipping nearly the whole course. But I doubt that's intentional.
