I love it, but it isn't working right for me - maybe it is my Chumby? It worked right the first time, but now it is as if the Chumby is tilted to one side. Thus, the pendulums swing farther to one side than the other. Seems my tilt sensor and the program are not calibrated properly.

Hi Adrian, I fixed the rapid clicking when you drag multiple balls. I'm trying to figure out how to deal with the other problem. Thanks

2 problems: When the chumby is on its side, the balls don't bum correctly (they shouldnt even bump at all when it is perfectly on it's side). When you drag a ball and bump another ball and hold it there, it keeps making the clicking sound repeatedly.

Hi Aussieguy, I'll add energy loss as an option. Thanks for the feedback.

Hi Abowman, nice, its fun to play with, espacially using the gravity sensor. You may check out my simulations "i am richer", "car" and "hanging smile". I used the sensor there, too.

Awesome. Now for a challenge. Can you account for energy loss or is the cradle in a vacuum or some topsy turvy world? :-)
