Jellybeans and Pipes

I spent a lot of time yesterday working with the Flash interactive music "game" that I linked to yesterday. I call it "Jellybeans and Pipes". It takes a little while to really figure it out. Drag new pipes from the conveyor belt at the bottom. For each pipe piece you can change the octave or sound and you can use special pipes that vary the direction of each "bean" as it passes through. You can use the switches on either side to vary the number of notes used, and there is even one switch that will destroy your whole contraption. Find that one before you get in too deep to avoid a feeling of great disappointment when you accidentally hit it and your beautiful creation tumbles to the ground.

Warning-it may occasionally freeze up. Usually just waiting for a few seconds will let everything get back to normal. If your computer is not three years old and cheap like mine, everything will probably be fine. Give it a try.
