Lily, Okay, I just might do that. My "water molecules" demo is not really ready for uploading yet, since it's not QUITE a "demo" yet. Although the graphics are drawn in real-time, the atomic movements are programmed into a movement file and this series of motions is played back. I want to calculate the motions in real-time too before I upload it. Actually, come to think of it, all those neat polygon-engine demos with little spaceships flying around are done the same way. I mean, all the course changes, camera angles, ets. are being played back from a table, so what's wrong with the motions of water molecules coming from a table? Same diff, right? Hmm … this "real-time calculation" thing gets kinda hazy when you examine it too close, doesn't it? Thanks & hugs, Fred Trafton
