A) That looks really cool. Great way to keep a bunch of bored schmoes entertained.

B) What the heck's "iiter: 1" mean on the main view page?

Nice, that looks like The Bridge, a local theater in the LA area.

That looks like alot of fun!

Too bad you can't, as an individual, slow down their motion. Say for instant, they swing to the left, and you swing to the right...the dominant movement would be picked up instead.

That's no fun. xD

at carnegie mellon university, my alma mater, we used to do this thing all the time before movies were shown on campus. that was like five years ago. i'm surprised it's taken so long to be brought into first-run theaters.

@Retiree:

iiter: is some debugging code that someone forgot to remove when checking what iteration of variable i each article was. I'm assuming they have a loop where i gets incremented by one for each article record (or array element).

*cough* and if I really had to take a guess at it - someone was/is trying to figure out why posts sometimes don't show when they are on the page 1, page 2 boundary.......

That's a riot!! =-D

How do they know it's just not a psychological experiment and a couple of dorky grad students controlling the game from the back of the room?

This concept was done at Siggraph at least 10 years ago, 'cept we used red and green paddles.
