Re: Games for the long winter..
I became a bit frustrated by the fact that my mouse often seemed to move too fast for the dart. Occasionally the dart would even stop before the red line as my mouse moved outside the Excel window and then launch in a delayed fashion as I would over-compensate and jerk the mouse back into the window. But this behaviour got me thinking and I soon figured out how to get a "guaranteed" 110+ metre flight every time...
** Spoiler Warning **
If you like playing this game and want to keep enjoying the "challenge" then don't read what follows. On the other hand, if you find the game a bit arbitrary and want to free yourself from the addiction, carry on!
** End of Warning **
1) Click on the dart and them move it to the very top left of the screen. This is not a "click-and-drag" because the dart will follow the mouse even tho' you have released the mouse button. I tend to move the pointer to the top, leaving the spreadsheet area, then move the pointer back into the spreadsheet area from the left-hand side to get the dart all the way into the LH corner. About 1/2 the dart should be visible when this is done.
2) Move the mouse outside the spreadsheed area and around to the "window" side of the scene but do not allow the pointer to go back into the actual picture.
3) Move the pointer horizontally left (it will be the usual Excel thick "+" symbol), making sure that the pointer is nicely in the middle of the Excel cell row that is 2 above the cell row which is level with the floor of the office.
4) As soon as the pointer moves inside the office scene the dart will launch very fast in a downward trajectory but immediately curve upwards, just missing the window frame at the top. There will be no loop-the-loops, just a long, fast flight (with several obligatory dips and rises). Distance seems to top out around 114.5 metres for me.
