width=400 height=300
I've been thinking about putting this together for awhile.

-L

P.S.- I realize the balls sometimes stick to each other, I'm working on it and I'll gladly take any suggestions on how to fix it.

it would be more realistic if when you grabbed the second or third one in and pulled it back the ones behind it came back too - just like in a real one.

But good job!

Yeah, I know:) I originally had the balls much bigger with no distance inbetween them. It looked and worked more like the real toy, but you didn't get to see the balls in the middle transfer the velocities to each other (just like in the real toy). So, I opted for smaller balls for a more visual effect;)

Hmm, I didn't think about that. They're only made to transfer velocity and there's no velocity while you're dragging them... I'll give it some thought:ponder:
