ANN: Rolling graphics

[Thomas McGrath III]

Jim,

I had a lot of fun skiing. There used to be this game with tanks that 
you send over to your opponent different bombs etc. Then they get to 
bomb you. Just plain time wasting fun. I love it.

If Rev includes bezier that would be great. Could you not then include 
a library for the calculations???

Thanks for sharing this.
