Hey! We highly recommend you launch this experiment in Google Chrome. It may run slower, or not at all, in other browsers.
Okay, I'll download Google Chrome I'm willing to risk it

Reply to this commentI THINK ITS AWESOME AND DEFINITLY FAST ENOUGH.....GOOD JOB
Reply to this commentwalls need to be higher because balls go up but don't come down
Reply to this commentThis to much slow! It can be used like a screensaver, however. Good idea!
Reply to this commentFuck this
Reply to this commentScreensaver anyone?
Reply to this commentYeah good idea.
Reply to this commentdefinitely a good idea
agree... COMPLETELY
I would totally use this as a screen saver (maybe better in negative?)
Oh, and to fix the slowness, maybe make the balls in the pits disappear after a minute or two. :)
definitely a good idea
you need somekind of human interaction that would be sweet
Reply to this commentHypnotic, though if you think it takes a long time on a desktop/ laptop try it on an iphone!
Reply to this commentThis is slow, but the physics is interesting and the program itself is captivating to watch
Reply to this commentReally, really, really slow.
Reply to this commentWow, that's super neat! The only thing that could possibly improve it would be to make the physics engine multithreaded (I know, Javascript has it's limitations and that tends to be the biggest of all). After a couple minutes, it's using nearly a hundred percent on one of my cores! It still runs alright, though. Very amusing to look at and a good demonstration. Kudos!
Reply to this commentstarts out quick & looks cool but after a min it starts running slow. like, real slow. Crome/Vista
Reply to this commentThe experiment is working great on Chrome Windows 7! A job well done !
Reply to this commentWat steve sed. Kudos!

Reply to this commentthis could be a cool screensaver also, i'm using it on a mac, and it's cool if you inverse the scren (ctrl+option+apple+8)
Reply to this comment*jumps into ball pit* WEEEEEE
Reply to this commentThis is simply beautiful!!! One of the best experiments I've seen!
Reply to this commentI'm pretty sure box2d allows you to let objects 'sleep', so calculations would not be made on objects at rest, like those at the very bottom of the pools. Pretty sure that could help this run a little better once the ball count starts getting higher. Amazing looking effect overall.
Reply to this commentIf think sleeping is not possible. (Box2d doc said: " If an awake body collides with a sleeping body, then the sleeping body wakes up.") But maybe its possible to set body as static after a while. I'll try that soon.
Reply to this commentwhat the hell is this crap
Reply to this commentWhy do the balls stop?
Reply to this commentThey stop after some time (~5 minutes) because of an error in the phys2d engine. Maybe too many balls.
Reply to this commenti wish i can control the waterfall.. and add some landscape there...
Reply to this commentit would be cool if you could change the speed.
Reply to this commentHow many circles are there?
Reply to this commentNot so many :-) Two balls are created every second. They leave traces becaus I dont clear the background each frame.
Reply to this commentI think the traces look kinda cool!
When the balls stop, the traces look like plumbimg under a city if you look upsidedown. COOLIO!
some variable manipulation would be awsome, such as gravity, bounce factor on balls, and on the 'ground' along with ground line creation. although i do like it ^^
Reply to this commentSimple, yet mesmerizing. Start it, window it, and come back in a few minutes for a surprise picture!
Reply to this commentBut if you go away for a few minutes, you miss all the cool stuff that happens in between! IMO, the journey is more important than the destination for this one.
Beautiful experiment!
