The sands of timewaster ...

Post by ChrisGreaves »

You won't catch me wasting time playing this game, because there is a buzzer-entry system here and I keep my doors locked.
However, I should point out a few nifty observations that I have inherited in my few minutes, ahem!, of research.
  • Plants grow when exposed to water.
  • Fire burns plants, but it burns oil faster.
  • The rates of plant, water, oil etc can be varied from 0 through 5.
  • Plants grow towards water
  • The eraser, held stationary, with the left-button held down, functions as a vacuum-cleaner
  • Fire cannot completely burn a plant once it reaches the water source
  • My mother would have loved this

I *hate* it when I have to be truthful(*).(grin)
I can't say I know the site, but I have been er, researching its material for over a week now, without any noticeable side-effects on my system,
I think I collected the original link from Steve Bass's newsletter a week or so ago.

(*)I'm on it about four, maybe eight times a day; far too often IMHO.

Be sure to listen to "Falling Sand" by Tim DeBruine while you play. "...don't know how to win at all..."

There wasn't anywhere to delete it and the first time it didn't "take" but somewhere along the line it did.
