OdoPlus Mouse Odometer

by Jordan Running May 1st 2006

I think "mouse odometer" apps, which track how far your cursor has traveled plus other useless but somehow fascinating data, have been around about as long as the mouse itself. OdoPlus such an app for Windows. In addition to tracking your cursor's travel in pixels and meters and counting how many times you click with each mouse button, OdoPlus generates a cool graphical click distribution map that shows what regions of the screen you click on most. You know, just in case you need one.

Nice program. But it has some features which I can't understand. For example, I just installed it and it already had been showing me some clicks. Bug? Feature? (he he) And the icon in tray doesn't show how many meters has been already passed. And there is no option for autosheduling with windows. Of course I can do it manually, but what prevent developers from adding this feature?

I could have sworn Windows ME had a built-in easter eggish odometer function...

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.
