If people want to keep playing, feel free - I’m going to bed now, though…
Ideas for a next XELCOL4 competition include:
- Adding pins
- Reducing the diameters of the pins and/or ball
- Adding random inaccuracies to the player’s input, running say 100 simulations, and counting the number of strikes. Player with the most strikes for a single input wins.
- A pool simulation (still need to make some enhancements to the code to support this)
Votes and suggestions for a next competition are invited.
