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 ;-)

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.

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.)
Andrew.

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.

Hmmm... that's interesting... It shouldn't be, and it downloads just fine
from my end... FTP upload was set to binary mode... Most puzzling!

That has nothing to do with the upload, the web server needs to be
configured to handle the files as binary (either by extension or setting
it for the individual file).
