The arms still jerk a bit, but the other bugs should be fixed now. Also, I
made him take some bigger steps, and I think it looks more natural now.

What do *you* think?

Hmm, a thought occurs to me - what would *you* like to see AL do? Run, jump,
go up stairs, or what? (Be reasonable.)

Big improvement! The only jerkiness I see is due to my player. His foot 
(not) rolling off the floor is still a bit strange, but you can blame it 
on the oversized boots.

Run! with both  feet leaving the ground at some point in the cycle!  That's what
I'm working on right now.  We could have a race, then.

	Quite good. What you are getting which most lack is the synchronous
head movement. A little synchronous body movement and you have it. And
then a difference between 'falling' forward and 'twisting' forward and
you have Al and Alice.

I would like to see him climb up on to a Tractor, or advanced tactical
fighter, or whatever passes for alien hardware these days. :)

They did? I thought, because of their pact with Japan, they (Germans in
occupation) were 'automatically' the enemy, but that our involvment in
Europe was due to Allied pre-Pacific Campaign agreements.

Not that this knowledge is a prerequisite to ray-tracing...

	There is an off-topic group, take it there or read a grade school
history textbook.

Definitely improved upon.  I liked it before too, this is so much better though
with the feet following the floor and the jerkiness squelched.
I'd like to see it blink.  Has that zombie look right now.
