Thanks guys! I have yet to write a part that records a score.
I fixed the sound problem by making sure the movie was not compressed. Also
added some instructions.

Hmm, now I see those arrows.  I think the faces of the cube should be more
color apparent.  It looks like you used a light source of the appropriate
color for each face, but I can only see it now that i really look.

hm, sloyd^4... like the pieces are moving themselves, thus introducing 
time as 4th dimension? or were you thinking about a hypercube? that 
would be rather brain-melting i think... sounds like fun :-D but it 
would be hard to track the pieces that move in the direction of the 
fourth dimension, cause we couldn't see them anymore...
bye,

It might work better if I deepen the color of the light shade. Also, if I
make the cube just a bit darker as well. Thanks for the feedback!

Of course, now I have research papers to write *sigh*.

The safest way is to let a server-side script replay the game and calculate
the score by itself. This creates some barrier that might prevent people
submitting a hiscore without playing the game.

That would definitely keep people from not playing the game to submit the
score. It would be an awful lot of work, though. There has to be a way to
just send a score and be absolutely sure it came from the script. The best
method I can think of is the HTTP_REFERRER method, but that one is crackable
too. There has to be a really easy solution that doesn't violate my first
promise to my users: "I will keep it simple." No matter what I do, though,
all a person has to do is sniff the communication channel between the
browser and server and spoof the message. So far, it looks like your method
is the only way to guarantee the person actually played the game. Does
anybody have some insight on how to do this without having the server-side
play the game? By doing so on the server-side, it introduces complexity that
may lead to failures.

oh boy! i just realized that you can jump over stones and not just move to
adjacent holes :|
That explains however the great score-difference =)
I'm trying again now with my new knowledge...
