Hi.

Here is my solution ( no images, little CSS and vanilla JavaScript ;) ): http://jsfiddle.net/Dimcho/JmVbD/

Ok guys, I didn’t have too much time this time, so I started from cpojer latest entry: https://tinker.io/c341c/8, I added some sound effects, then I added a background music, then arian fixed a little bug, then I though, why not adding the possibility to switch who to hit? so I implemented a quick and dirty (and rather ugly) twitter lists loader then dimitar (coda) though it was a good idea to show a preview of who you are gonna to hit with the hammer and improved the style a bit. I lastly added a negative score if you miss (but not if you are in the middle of two holes). and a time attack mode. I think what it miss now is a centralized leaderboard. But for this challenge it should be ok :)

So, to recap, this is a collective work of cpojer, kentaromiura, arian, coda :

Enjoy ;)

This is the variant I originally wanted to do: https://tinker.io/c341c/8 Now you can hit the MooTools devs! Bonus points if you can add sounds :)

@Kevin, tinker uses the field type of TEXT in the mysql db, to store the javascript. That apparently has a limit of 65,535 bytes. Nobody else has ever complained about it, but I'll look into it.

Tinker will probably switch to some kind of NoSQL system soon, which works entirely different.

This is my implementation in plain javascript:

Note: inside the class, the blocks generator is inherited by the previous challenge.

Went for “short” this time. 17 lines of code. Not sure I could make it much shorter:

Again, I am probably losing points for using jQuery. But I haven’t had the pleasure of becoming a MooTools pro yet.

Does tinker.io have a js size limit? Apparently some of the JS is getting cut off. This is the converted JS: https://gist.github.com/3229987

I ported my solution to Dart for fun: https://gist.github.com/3229945

Here it is converted to js: https://tinker.io/58980
