Hi folks,
I've just visited Coolmath Games and saw that they've completely replaced the game with this new HTML5 version.
Fortunately a few weeks ago I downloaded a copy of the .swf file. I've uploaded the file here where you can play it right in the browser (Not sure if it's a good website to host, it's just the first one I found). You can also download the .swf from the Resources section.
This is the same as the original game, but I've made one modification and it does not affect gameplay at all. The original game checked if the file was hosted on Coolmath Games, and if it wasn't it would display a screen prompting you to visit their website and you would be unable to play. This check and prompting screen have been removed, allowing us to play wherever the file is hosted. Besides from that it is the same as the original.
I originally downloaded the .swf to decompile it to take a look at the inner workings of the game. This has allowed me to understand how movement and collision works in great detail (although level 7 collisions are still a mystery, tests show collisions get weird when dots are moving quickly). Maybe we need a wiki to share this information along with strats etc.
I've been working on a modified version of the game created for practicing. It includes an inbuilt timer which measures the total run and individual levels down to the frame. It also has hotkeys for instantly restarting a level and going to the next/previous level (and I removed the background music). A neat feature is when you restart a level, your time is also rolled back to when you started that level. This allows you to get a very accurate "best possible run" using the strategies you know. I've been able to find some faster routes which I should record and share. I'll hopefully find some time to polish this and share it with you guys soon. Here's a screenshot
Have a great day and take care!

Wow! I tried to remove the coolmathgames link myself but I've never worked with flash before, so I had no idea how. Nice job.
I also like the idea of the mod you're making. Me and someone else made a similar thing for Cat Planet. Will this mod allow for IL leaderboards?
honestly the best part of this post is that there's no music. SO HAPPY \o/
- Is there something else i have to do after downloading the resources?
- Also now tricks to get the segmented best lower 0.0. I found a way to save 1 second on lv 7 the other day. ill post it somewhere on the forums.
- What does HTML5 version mean. :P this is a new era for WHG :D cant wait 2 see this new version HYPE pogchamp
in the old, old version of the game there was a leader board that didn't work. in your version can you add a working leader board? and why don't you add a mute button in the game instead of deleting the song altogether? also if you right click and inspect element you can delete the game and then ctrl + Z to send you to the start of the game which turns off the music. that can be used if you opened the game and then went far away with no internet with your laptop. (also you gotta tell us what you learnt in the code Kappa )
the text was on screen 2 times longer than normal and the lag got me to go though the balls. this could be used on level 27 to save time. can this be replicated or looked into? iv never seen this before. has anyone else seen this?
