netHoleShot! The Internet Practice Tree
created by Mark Towslee and Michael Beard
ATTENTION! If you are having trouble getting netHoleShot! to run, please
take the time to very carefully read the netHoleShot!
Help Page. You *must* have everything configured correctly in order to
see and play the game. Yes, it's a pain to get set up, but once you have it,
it loads as quickly as any other web page, and is a ton of fun.
To Play:
Start by pressing the "Stage" button. This will light the
Pre-Stage and Stage bulbs, and activate the tree.
Press the "Gas Pedal" button to launch the car. You will
see different graphics on this button depending on the value in the
delay box. If it's zero, we know you're footbraking it! Otherwise,
you get to leave off the transbrake button.
A variety of statistics are kept and performance is graphed.
Click on either the "Graph" or "Statistics"
tab to change which measure of your performance you wish to view.
Pressing the "Options" button displays some program
options that allow you to customize the way the practice tree works.
The "Reset Stats" button clears all of the
statistics and starts over with a clean slate.
Note:
The main limitation with this control is the fact that Windows is
a multitasking operating system. This introduces some difficult timing
problems. Without getting into all of the details, just be aware that
if your computer is performing any type of background processing,
accuracy of this practice tree will be negatively affected.
Therefore, before pulling into the staging beams be sure that your
machine is idle.
