Ed, Just because a system doesn't use the "real" law of gravity doesn't mean that it might not be superior for producing "interesting" particle animations! I do think that it makes a better "proof" of spiral-arm galaxies if it is based on "real" gravity though. And you thought you weren't going to get any feedback! By the way, you have said that you learned C from working in POCO – so obviously you have worked in some other structured language before, right? Your code is very well organized, the modularization is very good, I like your use of meaningful variable names, etc. My only objection is that I use a different convention for brace placement (that is an issue that rages unabatedly among C prgmrs everywhere). This is a good example of how to generate a flick entirely through code. Dennis
