Flocker: Use your Firefox extensions in Flock - Today's Browser Tip

by Jordan Running Oct 26th 2005

So you're on the Flock bandwagon, but really miss your Firefox extensions? Turns out that with a little work, it's possible to get most Firefox extensions to work with Flock, but Geoff Gauchet took it one step further and created Flocker. Flocker is a simple utility that tweaks (almost) any Firefox extension to work with Flock; all you have to do is drag the extension's .xpi file onto Flocker and it will spit out a new Flock-friendly .xpi. Excellent!

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
