    Damn I thought this post was going to be about an interesting (if slightly disturbing) medical condition you had developed, Jaz...

    hehee, sorry to disappoint you jon.
    yeah we had a vintage bbc micro in our shed which we used to load up (took about half an hour) and then play things like this with, ball droppings was probably one of them.
    this version is ultimately better though, you can change gravity, friction, airtime, weight, everthing :D woohooo! im never going out again!

    Hah, thanks for reminding me, Armadillo ... I remember "Daley Thompson's Decathlon" being the height of sophistication on the Amstrad in about 1984...

    Ball dropping is fun as as hell, but i need to erase it from my computer at work, my boss might be curious why there is something on his computer called ball dropping.
