It could be - instead of a displacement, I could use the code to generate a
velocity. Unfortunately, I'd also need to write some collision detection,
and keep track of each brick throughout the parse... eek!

Oh yes. I calulate the displacement for each brick at instantiation, so I
don't need any arrays or anything. The whole thing is only 2 or 3 lines
more than the code needed to generate the chimney itself!

I'll knock up (or should that be down?) some more over the weekend. :)
