Bouncy Ball

A ball that bounces. Pick it up and throw it around your desktop. Possibly similar to "Go Go Redball!" Widget on Apple's site, but as I don't have a Mac, I don't really know! The Widget shows some of the issues with the built in animator routine in Yahoo! Widget Engine and looks for answers.

Yep, all comments appreciated, what I'm looking for is answers though for better animation. Not ripped apart Tom's widget yet, so I'll look and see how he has handled the physics and animation. (submitted almost simultanously it appears - hence both of them in the gallery)

I'm going to have to give this 2 stars for now. But, I've seen all your widgets, Eldon, make an update with improved performance and this widget will make the grade.

No kidding, I have 3 gigs of ram and a 64 bit 3700+ chip and it makes my system bog down. The other ball works much better. Nice try though.

The other Widget is much better and animation performance is excellent, the graphic is also better ....
