Thank you.

I'm still working on several issues. One thing I've enhanced
for the object-interaction is the velocity-calculation. All you
do now is set a minimum speed after which waves are created,
a maximum speed after which the waves' height is clipped, and
height values for the waves for min and max speed. This
causes waves of different heights according to the speed the
object has "at that point".

So, to counterstate what I've said before, objects, which aren't
moving, but only rotating, will affect the waves! I'm pretty proud
that that worked out.

It'll take a few more days (for two reasons: 1. want to implement
some more additions and make it more failproof, 2. I've got
an assignment to do due 31. April), but I'm hoping and counting
on releasing it someday in May.

I've uploaded a first draft for the help to my homepage, under
the WIP section, but that ones already outdated. Nontheless,
you can take a look at it for a preview on what you'll be able
to do...


Regards,
Tim

Nah, it's just that everything that could be said has already been said. You
rule. It's that simple.

No problem... you earned it.

Andrew.
