Sure thing... never had anyone ask to see MY source before...

I'm attaching it zipped... it's split up into several .inc files.

The pieces were all created using "SpilinEditor" and exported as .inc files.

I used Chris Colefax's "bend.inc"  to bend 2 of the pieces in the melted
version.

The board was borrowed from an animation I never finished of a checker
game... (I'm still working on it little by little... maybe when I'm done
I'll post it to the binaries.animation group...)  It was modeled in Moray
out of sheer laziness.  The texture was made in moray's texture editor too.

The blobs were all modeled with "Blobs.exe" which I like but I don't like
the fact that there's no non-uniform scaling of the blob components so I had
to scale them after they were exported.

I used arrays for the first time ever, and am now wondering how I ever got
along without them.  (Used an array to place the pieces)

Hmm... anything else I should mention?... Oh, to render the "melted"
version, you have to use a clock value of 2... any other value will (i'm
pretty sure) render the "shiny" version.
