Ooooh, thanks! :-)

My oppinion as well. I'll probably still check to see what I end up with 
if I still dabble at them a little, but I like them much better than the 
first ones.

Handpainted JPEG to guide the script where to place grass and where 
stones...

Thanks! The path is actually made up of a couple thousand spheres, 
squished and rotated to lie on the ground (using basically the same code 
from the grass, and just placing stones instead of the grass). Adds a 
distinct touch to the edge where the path ends and the dirt/grass starts 
which I like.

Onward to the next changes! ;-)

Regards,
Tim
