Shoot The Bird
Gijs ter Beek has created a 3-D Excel game that you can download. There’s a bird flying around and you shoot it. You get 41 shots and 1 point per hit (the bird doesn’t die).
I’ve seen some pretty cool stuff made in Excel, but I think this tops them all. You have to see this to believe it.
There are a lot of warnings, as you’ll see if you download it, because it’s experimental. I had no problems on Win XP Pro and XL 2000. I didn’t see any error handling in the code, however, so if something goes wrong, you may have to reset your toolbars, etc.
Furthermore, she asks:
Please comment it or publish it on your log to have it commented. Furthermore i’d be interested in cool game story lines that involve immortal birds and beautiful sunsets.
So posts your comments here or email them to me, if you like.

I’m not able to get to the website — is there a typo, or is it down?

kevboy: It works okay for me. I doubt a post on my blog would overload any server, so that’s probably not it.
