Cornhole game is also known as bean bag toss, bags or baggo. It’s easy to learn how to play this game but what about building cornhole game?


If you are good at measurements then I am sure building cornhole game will be an easy task for you. Start with building two game boards each of dimension 2’x4’. Try to use ½ inch ply as it is light and easy to carry. you will also need 3 to 4 2x4 dimension ply board depending upon how you are going to use it. Apart from ply, you will need 1 ½ inch deck screw and 2 inch either nails or deck screws whatever is available to you. Now as all the basic materials are available to you, let’s start building cornhole game.


Very first step is to cut ½ inch plywood in two 2’x4’ size boards. Once it’s done, you have to cut four 4 foot long pieces from your 2’x4’ size board. Instead of using glue, you can directly go with screwing the boards. In your next step predrill the holes in the boards in such a way that head of the screws enters easily inside holes. Once it is done, use one of the ½ inch deck screws to hold them tight. Always remember you have to measure twice and cut once. After this process, attach rest of the ply using deck screws.


From the top and centerline try to measure 9 inch downwards and mark an X and for doing this you can either use compass or you can use screws and can drill it at the X. Once this much of work is done, take a string of length 3 inches and tie one pencil to it. Tie that string around screw tightly so that you can draw one 6” circle. Once you are done with drawing circle, use jigsaw to cut the circle. You have to use table top in order to mark the angle where you will fix your boards on the ground flat. After completing this much of work, you have to decide how you are going to attach legs to the board. The best way is to drill hole at the side of your board using bolt to hold them. Bolt is a good option as you can unscrew them whenever you want. Make or get 4 hinges in order to build a brace between the legs as this will add strength to your game board. One hinges gets available to you, all you have to do is attach hinges to the bottom and brace of the board and what you will get is ultra cool legs that make your friends jealous of you.


Once building part is done, it’s time to make your board much better and smooth by either finishing it or painting it. If you have chosen later option, you need to use good quality paint in order to get high glossy finish so that the sand bag slides smoothly. If you are good at art, you can make some fine art on the board using paint. Final touch includes hiding screws that you can do using wood putty. Always remember the more time you will spend on giving final touch to it, happier you will be for what you have build. In order to check out the smoothness of the board, keep sanding the painted board.


You can add your own logo on the board. Before calling your friends to show them your piece of works, take some trial to make sure that everything is perfect and well organized. By following the above mentioned tips you can make a good cornhole game.

Jet Velocity Review


If you like racing games, how about a game where you get a chance to compete with other space jets? Jet Velocity is a space jet racing game where you have to drive your jet over the track that is built in space.



If you look at the graphics of this game you will find that everything, from track to space jet is in 3D. In the first level, your race will be with two other space jets. Rules for playing Jet Velocity racing game are very simple. You have to use arrow keys for controlling your space jet speed. In between tracks, you will find some speed accelerating points that will increase your speed for some distance which means that you can use them to chase down your opponents. You can unlock next level only if you come first in the race or else you have to keep trying unless you win your very first race in Jet Velocity. On winning the race you have to submit your score online which is optional. If you want to submit your score you have to create an account and then only you will be able to submit your score. If you want to explore new levels and space jets, then close that score submit box and click on the next level tab.


Don’t think that good practice at other racing games will be enough to win this game. Controlling space jet is much difficult in comparison to car because controls are much sensitive. Track of the first level is not that difficult so if you play first level many times then definitely you can win the race as you will get an idea as where to reduce space jet speed and where not. Higher level tracks definitely have much more challenges for the racers. You will find so many loops in the race track that it will become difficult for you to maintain your space jet speed and this is where you practice will come in use. Even if you win first race in Jet Velocity, I would suggest you to keep practicing again and again on the same track in order to get good control over speed and loops of the track. The more you race, easier it will become for you to win the race.


No doubt Jet Velocity has been a great success in space racing games that is why developer came up with an idea of making enhanced version of Jet Velocity. After Jet Velocity comes Jet Velocity 2 that you will find much more advance in comparison Jet Velocity. Jet Velocity 2 is fully loaded with weapons, bombs, laser shield and rockets etc. Tracks in Jet Velocity 2 are much more difficult as compared to Jet Velocity and you will know the reason for this once you play it.


Jet Velocity has definitely raised the competition bar for game developers and if you have not played this game check it out and share your views among your family and friends.
