Sorry about the title - but you have *NO IDEA* how hard it was for me to get
this to work!!! (Unless you look on povray.advanced-users of course ;-)

Have a look at
http://www.btinternet.com/~orphi/Video/Chaos1.m1v
(God I hope I typed that right!)

(500 frames @ 25 fps = 20 sec., file size is just above 2MB.)

It should be fairly obvious what you're looking at. Realistic? Maybe...

(I think I made the attraction power of the targets too small... and perhaps
I should add some kind of "drag" or "air resistence" to slow the thing down
eventually... IDK...)

I see what you mean! (Far out story btw) Still, since it's the same kind of
simulation - forces acting on a particle - it's hardly suprising ;-)

Andrew.

A new version, complete with air-resistence, can be found at
  http://www.btinternet.com/~orphi/Video/Chaos2.m1v

Once again, 25 fps, 500 frames, 20 seconds, 822 KB (now that I got some new
MPEG encoder software!)

Enjoy!
Andrew.

What's a good player for an M1V file? Nothing I have will play it...

Open media player, and paste the URL of the file into the open dialogue -
works for me

Just replace the m1v extension with mpg, and use whatever you normally
use to play MPEG files.

LOL... You're the second person to make that suggestion! ;-)

Trouble is, pinball requires *bouncing*, and I had a lot of trouble with the
math for that *last* time... (See "Bouncing Ball" a bit further down this
group.)

It's regular mpeg, but it's marked as text file so download will break
it.  I already told Andrew about it but he did not change it.
