rofl...you shoulda said it was written by William Shakespring - "The spring doth squeak too much" "Is this a spring which I see before me" "A spring, a spring, my kingdom for a spring"
Why waste time and energy with a pogo-stick when you can just fling this spring? , more of a slogan... hmm maybe instead: Did you know that pogo sticking is a waste of energy compared to playing spring fling?
The results are in! Winners: 1.) "Ancient dinosprings roamed the Earth until they all died out in the Great Rusting." by: Devilishly Good 2.) "If a spring bounces in the woods and no one is there to hear it, does it go "booinng"?" by: Devilishly Good 3.) "Old springs never die, they just become slinkies." by: Devilishly Good 4.) "Do you have a spring in your step? Check your shoes." by: Chrono Gear 5.) "The first Spring was created by God on the third day and his name was Fling." by: Frog Congratulations to the winners. I'll be contacting each winner through PM with the codes. Now would be the time to beg Devilishly Good for one of the three codes! Devilishly, feeling charitable? Time for some meta-contesting. Run a contest for your contest prizes
Woo!! First time I ever won anything (though it's looking good on the iDrop Dead level creation contest-check it out people!) I liked the one you chose too Here's the link for the iDD contest for those interested in competing: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=31921
A spring is an elastic object used to store mechanical energy. Springs are usually made out of hardened steel. Small springs can be wound from pre-hardened stock, while larger ones are made from annealed steel and hardened after fabrication. Some non-ferrous metals are also used including phosphor bronze and titanium for parts requiring corrosion resistance and beryllium copper for springs carrying electrical current (because of its low electrical resistance). The rate of a spring is the change in the force it exerts, divided by the change in deflection of the spring. That is, it is the gradient of the force versus deflection curve. An extension or compression spring has units of force divided by distance, for example lbf/in or N/m. Torsion springs have units of force multiplied by distance divided by angle, such as N·m/rad or ft·lbf/degree. The inverse of spring rate is compliance, that is if a spring has a rate of 10 N/mm, it has a compliance of 0.1 mm/N. The stiffness (or rate) of springs in parallel is additive, as is the compliance of springs in series. Depending on the design and required operating environment, any material can be used to construct a spring, so long the material has the required combination of rigidity and elasticity: technically, a wooden bow is a form of spring.
FYI, v1.1 is released on the App Store now and the winning quotes from this contest are included in the game. It's your 15 minutes of fame. Use it wisely my friends.
