Play Portal anywhere with the flash version

So, maybe you find yourself without a copy of The Orange Box yet. Or, maybe you're at work (or school), unable to access your precious Xbox 360. What this means, of course, is that you are without Portal, and that just won't stand. So, we offer you this temporary solution: Portal: the Flash Version (click here for the full screen version). Created by some dedicated fans, it just might give you your Portal fix if you squint your eyes. We've already wasted far too much time today playing with it. A quick suggestion though: play this sucker with a real mouse. A touch pad will only get you so far before you are met with insurmountable frustration.

Now, if only you could open a real portal in your office wall.

6. ^^^ it's not the 'puzzle' part, I just can seem to execute the jump. :-(

7. 1)make a portal at the top
2)make a portal directly underneath on the floor.
3)jump in.
4)gain speed.
5)as youre falling out of the top portal shoot an exit portal on the floor next to the one youre about to fall into. it should launch you high enough to get over the wall.

make any sense?

9. yes... I got it. I didn't realize you could create a new portal while in motion.... doh!

10. yeah, then you'll have to use that technique throughout. 15 was a bitch to get through.

11. 15's fuckin me up ... am i missing something, how do i get through that little hole?

12. I got to level 40 and had to stretch my legs. I couldn't figure out a way to save progress.

13. for 15
1) i had "portal" thru 2 portals right next to the glass with some momentum
2)then shoot a portal, while in the air, over the glass to make a portal on the ledge across the gap
3) then you'll come out thru the portal - then land on the electric floor while its not turned on. make sure you time it right.

again, i dont know how to make it sounds correct without the use of pictures.
