Looks good, especially for such a simple algorithm.  I think the way you
implemented it prevents collisions quite well by itself in this case, it
probably much depends on the length of the tentacles and the kind of
movement if this works.  It would be interesting to see it with some more
complicated movement, for example the combination of tiny high frequency
with large scale low frequency movement.

I tried full screen but the file could be higher resolution for that.  BTW
does anyone know how i can prevent mplayer to turn off the zoom when
looping back to the beginning?
