That is the coolest thing ever, and you don't know how cool it is until after you save it. My first drawing, about the second in which you sneeze, totally sucked, but I'm going to make more all night long!

admittedly, the site is a little short on documentation, but I think that's part of the fun. one thing I know is the slower you drag a shape-box open, the slower it will move.

and I'm not sure if it's possible to see anything others have done aside from emailing it. I guess that's what we get for a beta.

This is very cool. Dunno that it needs to have that much to do with time - it's just a really simple, direct, fun way to construct stuff that moves. More!

Yes, but I can't see the stuff you guys are (presumably) making, nor can you see the stuff I've made. Makes me wonder.

just a warning for those browsing at work while actually doing other stuff in other windows... it takes over the full screen.

Nifty though. :)

Hmm. It stayed contained in a neat little window for me, Foosnark (on IE).

Anyway, what a wonderful toy! Mine are all the ones with Beach Boys songs for titles.

yes. I think it's been broken all day, but fixed now. I saw yours.

I am late to the party here, but wanted to be on record to say thanks - this is really a fun toy, crunch!
