B...Hmm - fraction red = 1 should make them all red. But if I change them slowly in the order you said, it doesn't redistribute the balls when you change the box size, and it ignores the fraction red, so it ends up with the black balls all in one corner, simulating a lane between them and the wall. It seems like a bug rather than a product of applying the settings. There seem to be many ways of getting chaos, though :)msHedgehoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05719152265628932122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391293127288856260.post-41341031469253728232013-06-24T21:07:27.757+01:002013-06-24T21:07:27.757+01:00Um I get a real time change when I change the othe...Um I get a real time change when I change the other settings without having to click restart.

And there's no order of settings because none of them apply until you click restart.

(It's takes about 30 secs for the outer lane to get going)<br /><br />I think Flocking represents how contained the dancers are. I think Damping represents how much they care / are aware of the lanes.<br /><br />Now change Flocking and damping to minimum - instant Negracha!Cnoreply@blogger.com
