Mini golf

[S0lekill3r]

A cool little golfing game that I made. You hit a ball onto a platform into a hole which then returns the ball back to you.

Looks awesome (and so does your Full Scale Dragster that you can see in the background.)

Hah, thanks. I don't know if I'll be finishing the dragster though because I don't have enough pieces.

[Loosewire]

Woohoo!! More games and this on this one the ball comes back! Oh... you could try and see how many continuous pots you could get.

Very creative idea! I really like how the ball comes back. Could definitely be expanded into a larger mini golf course of some sort. Faved! (How can we feature it without a full size image? *hint hint* )

Nice! Even though I hate golf, mini-golf, and the like, I can still appreciate the engineering to design the return-ball-function.

Did you resize those images? If so, try to resize them to something closer to 600x800 rather than a size that small. My camera takes 8mp pictures, so I resize them to 600x800 pictures so as to avoid hot posting.

Hah, right. I'll resize them, I use flickr as a host site so hopefully it works.

You can host pictures here too...

Yeah I know that, but since I don't have any good picture editing software I use flickr to edit all of my photos.

To Crestind: I resized the pictures.

That is an incredibly good design, well done!
