Right I got a few moments free to upload the computer model to the web. The address is http://www.swifttools.com/Stoned.zip. Download the zip file, unzip it to a temporary folder, run setup.exe from the temporary folder, then follow the installation wiz. The installation program does not install a desktop icon, but you can start the program from Start/Programs/Stoned/Stoned.

The figures in blue can be changed, the black ones are calculated by the program. "Run" will make the block fall, "Step" will execute one time step (normally 0.1 seconds), "Reset" will return the block to the start as will changing any essential parameters. When running the "Run" button changes to "Pause". When paused you can single step by clicking "Step" or continue by clicking "Run". The display is automatically scaled (arbitrarily) to fit the picture on the screen. It only checks the length and depth of the block and the height of the tower, so it's possible to get off-screen display if you use silly values for the offset, etc. As the block falls, the centre of the block and the bottom far corner of the block leave a trace of red dots so that you can see the trajectory.

All the uploaded files were virus checked with the latest pattern files. Have fun. Let me know if you find any bugs or if you find that it disagrees with any real experimentation you have done.
