Re: Starfish movement -- an alternative view

the starfish is fine, very nice,

its speed is very good, im no expert, (having only seen a living starfish munching a fish head in a crab trap my dad had set off the end of the concrete boat at pismo beach 30 years ago....

(dad's idea of eating cheap on vacation....)


the one thing is, it seems to me that the low forground lights bit, seems to be a sneak hack jim did to save having to write a pretty nasty bit of code to get the starfish on the glass,

if the lights were on, you see the starfish on the gravel, and then by magic, "Pop" he be on the glass....

having been a priogrammer in my youth, (anybody remember the Altair 8800?) these kind of qick and dirty hacks are the niftyest kinds.......
