    Great graphics!
    I think that for the engine I will go with electric charges, so the sheep will be attracted and scared by various 'charges' and will move according to the sum of the vectors. This way they will be moving towards the point of local highest potential.
    Having that, it should be simple to incorporate all the proposed solutions, i.e. accelerometers, touch control, running dog control, different species etc.

    Comments about this, before I get to work?

An alternativa approac could be to zoom in and out but that is a completely new world of complications. Let me finish my coffee and Ill move on a computer for the svg wolf
    hmmm how about head to head on 2 n900s o_O
    thats for another thread tho

    panning and zooming is easy, however liqbase doesnt support polyfil routines yet, someone would have to write them, or use bitmap scaling as an alternative

    Too much 'encouragement' and the sheep fall over for a 'snooze' until the shocks wear off?

    Is it just me or is this discussion starting to sound like the inside of a Jeff Minter realilty? All we need now are Llamas or some Camels and the picture would be complete!

    I vote for bitmap scaling
    AFB was right: garage is down... Any other acceptable fileserver/service alternative that will not hurt the community sensitivity?
    Meanwhile I attached the svg here.

    Just a thought, what about parallex scrolling? The desktop supports it so I am sure that will be part of the hardware acceleration instruction set. You could combine the multi-screen and radar elements with a defender style wrap-around for play area.

    For 'mechandising' how about a theme? Change the haptic feedback to a smapled 'baaa'?

    (Time for the medication again I think!)

    I think we just need to give garage a few days to get upgraded. For not just share stuff here.

    Here is my attempt in Blender3D, the sheep is very basic and it looks more like a duck

    Any news on whether our sheep are coming homeward one by one... anyone heard any sheep bells across the lonely air yet?

    (Damn, these Christma carols are infecting me!)
