Here's an animation of the tricycle I've been working on.  I only have it
going in a straight line for now... the math required for making turns gives
me a headache.

That's a really nice (and smooth) animation. I know nothing about tricycles
but it looks kind of real... The camera angle is a bit too wide, in my
opinion, but maybe that's a matter of taste.  I would like to see the cycle
turn around and the ground to be bumpy... But don't give yourself a headache
for my sake, please!

Regards,
Hugo

Haven't thought about bumpy ground, but I'm going to work on making it turn.
Lot's of headaches... having to calculate not only the speed of the back
wheels (in a tight turn, the inside back wheel will turn backwards) but also
the movement of the trike itself.  But it keeps me off the streets and out
of trouble.
