Harvey's Ball Dropper

With this applet you and all your friends can drop virtual balls up to 9 meters (!!) on the Earth, the Moon and Mars!! Pick your planet or other celestial body in the small box. The applet will keep track of various stats you can see in the box to the left. The "B. Time" variable stands for bounded time. By dragging the blue and red lines around the ruler, you can set the boundaries which define when the bounded timer runs.

Known Issues/Bugs:

  • The applet measures distance from the top of the ball.
  • Though in theory it should be, the "applet time" is not quite equivalent to real time. It is consistent with the rest of the applet's numbers, however.
  • The applet doesn't have a graphical stopwatch like the original applet it is emulating.
  • The applet is kind of ugly
