i saw that demo. amazing. maybe i shouldn't wait.

the thing is, i have 16 dancers with their names
showing. you move them to 16 differnt locs, then
divide the x & y axis coordinates by whatever,
say 8, then you store all of this, set a wait
period (say 30 ticks), and when you press <go>
you get movement that appears non-linear. there
are eight icons for 8 directions for guys &
dolls, another story.

if i can script sprites to do this, then it will
be by by buttons.

maybe a good idea to put time into learning
sprites rather than translating buttons and
backgrounds?
