Very cool.  Is each individual actor aligned to its current velocity, or does
it always point forward?  I always went back to the drawing board when some
code resulted in violently flicking actors.  Part of your springy feel might
just be that you're moving a lot faster than I am.  How did you manage the "fly
in among each other" effect?

Getting late, more comments later.
