First version that killed productivity^H^H^H^ I found was much harder, I
think we topped out at 320.... thanks for the Turbo version :-)

Yep, just a tad too easy to nose-plant. Optimal ballistic loft doesn't net
optimal distance. Best I could muster was 556.4
Somebody needs to teach that (those) penguins to arch their backs... 8-)

Doesn't "more useful" imply that what you did do was at least somewhat
useful? <G>

588 here, but the guy next to me at work got 593
what a great diversion, almost everyone was playing.
having about 4 or 5 of the penguins yelling at the same time
is pretty funny when the boss walks in :) Seems the popups can only get
you in the 400's and a line drive with some sliding action is how to get
the really high scores.

Anybody wanna reverse engineer the flash and determine what the
theoretical limit is?

Which means that you are playing it either on a Windows box (what a
shame) or cheating somehow or you have a 5Ghz box or something else is
wrong on regular Linux systems. I do not any Linux user who got
more than 325.5 with the Linux version of the Shockwave plugin.

I got 578.7 on Linux box (of course).

I've gotten over 500 on my 2 GHz laptop running Linux 2.6.1. Even
this fairly fast machine the flash thing frequently freezes for a
split second.

So if you don't know them, they don't exist at all?
For the record: Thinkpad T41, Slackware 9.1, kernel 2.6.1, score: 586.
(And as a side note: are there other Thinkpad owners with problems powering
off their machines, unless you boot with "nolapic"? See
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1901)

There are a couple of version of this floating around, one of them the
physics have been changed. On the original the max was about 300 ish. On
this one its nearer 550

If you download the flashfile and then open that file in your browser
you'll see a part hidden from the sight by the html-frame. Then you will
also understand the freeze. :)

588.6 here.
Nearest without missing the penguin : ~236. Let's start the lazy yeti

It just scales up to fill the window without showing anything I didn't
see previously. In my experience, almost all flash toys have the
freezing problem, not just this one.

Shockwave flash plugin is a lot slower on Linux than on MS Windows.
It also doesn't support transparency on Linux. But that's not
a kernel thing ;-)

I've had 500+ on my K6-2 450 so it doesn't have nothing to do with CPU
speed.

Sounds like 3/4 of the programmers I've ever worked with -- if they
can't figure out how to do it, then it can't be done and anyone who says
otherwise must be lying or cheating.
Still, it does seem like the game is much less predictable on some
systems. I have a linux laptop that plays it quite nicely (thus the
593.4 I reported earlier). I tried it on my desktop at home, and it was
very jerky.
The two systems are pretty comparable.
For anyone who cares: here's the main differences with laptop (good) on
the left and the desktop (bad) on the right:
Mozilla: 1.5 on both, build dates 20031107 vs 20031007
Flash Version: 6.0.79.0 vs 6.0.69.0
CPU: Pent M 1700 vs Athlon XP 2100+
Video: ATI Radeon M9 vs Matrox G400 <=== I think this is the problem
Kernel: 2.4.21 (debian) vs 2.6.1
I am going to reboot to check against the 2.4 kernel. Who knows? Maybe
there will be a pingu bug report against the 2.6 kernel series.

... doesn't seem the same.
It appears that 2.4.22 may be better suited to penguin abuse than 2.6.1.
I rebooted my desktop to 2.4.22. Within a minute, I tied my record
from the laptop.
( http://www.borgerding.net/pingu_proof.png )
Still, the results are far from scientific or conclusive. I need some
objective smackage.
Maybe I will try a blind study with my nieces tonight. I'll reboot the
machine into either 2.4.22 or 2.6.1 and record their scores.
Coming soon to a techie-site near you, "Pingumark 2004".

I've just replicated this score... the little guy's gotta slide a _long_
way to get this far.
I invite all people who wished to be unsubscribed from linux-kernel to
to make future postings in this thread.
And I'm totally serious.
