Hi Roland,

Is your beta version anywhere to be found ?
I did check the VCAA web site ( your original email ) but no sign of one Roland Gesthuizen !

Take Care

Thanks Tony .. mine is a beta copy with some goofy but cute stuff such as
write your name with a wave rolling across the beach sand. This is a better
place to start. As it is a portable Python viewer that just runs off a USB
key, you don't need a fancy computer to run this and the 3D animated
graphics look great. I'll admit I am having some fun deconstructing this
program to see how it works and you'll notice students doing the same once
they get past changing the key variables and blocks of code that represent
barriers to the tidal wave.

I have a funny story to tell about how some girls figured out how to "solve"
the tidal wave problem using this simulation. Somebody remind me when we
next meet :-)

Regards
