Well, since the Gravity Launcher program was deemed to be to fluffy for this forum, let me then post a perhaps more substantive and useful program, even if it isn't as graphically cute:

http://web.mit.edu/stgs/downloads.html

This program simulates ballistic missile launches, and models their flight characteristics. It has a launch-button, but it would have be cooler if someone could transplant the code logic into a more graphical interface like Flash, so that we could see a cute little missile launch game.
