I've entered, it's called pumkin contest entry.
Enjoy!!

Sorry, can you download it again, I fixed some things

Yet I love your contraption, it's farther than I expected

I've updated it now, and it got FURTHER THAN S_NOONAN!!!!

2 Benjii,

Are you sure yours went farther? We should probably have a third party check it on something other than a TRS-80. On my PC (10 years old running XP) I get 14205 meters for yours and 25400 for mine. I then set sim.frequency=1000 for each scene and got 28000 for yours and 57000 for mine. I measured the position by checking the pumpkin initial position and then checking where it bounces by drawing a circle at the bounce point and reading its position in the script menu.

hmmm...
I tested them both
When i tested my updated version i got:
1st mine 17845 yours 16657
2nd mine 13456 yours 24009
3rd mine 15097 yours 4780
But on the 3rd try yours glitched.
I measured it with a MASSIVE ruler (don't laugh!!)!!
I'm now going to test them without the adjusted pumpkin, !

With the air friction on the default we both got roughly the same,
You try it!

With sim.frequency=1000 for better accuracy and airFrictionMult=1, I get:
1st mine 2955 yours 2325
2nd mine 2957 yours 2282
3rd mine 2951 yours 2325

So, yes, they are roughly the same.

Can I make the pumpkin roll into the external contraption area, then fling it?

Nevermind.
My entry is "Pumpkin in a gun", but I ran into an issue when uploading it.

With sim.frequency=1000 for better accuracy and airFrictionMult=1, I get:

3685 m - Eestlane771
2957 m - s_noonan
2325 m - Benjii

SO MUCH SCRIPTING
