*YAWWWWWWWNNNNNNN* Gosh its late, but I wanted to finnish it before I slept :-) I just couldn't sleep with it not working :P

Any who, a supposely 4 week'ish assignment is now 80% done, in less than 8 hours! :-) We have 8 none passive classes, more than enough to satisfy the requirements, and cool stuff like inheritance, interfaces, and polymorphism. I forsee many long hours explaining the code....

Here is some numbers that might interest my team mates: 

steve@Geofront::/share/tmp>wc -l *

      84 Coral.java

      67 GridDisplay.java

     121 GridPanel.java

     236 Ocean.java

      29 Organism.java

     217 Simulation.java

      84 Starfish.java

      43 TimerListener.java

     881 total

Yep, 881 lines to explain to you... considers yourselves warned :P Get a head start, and read chapters 9, 11, 13, 14, and read the source.

Did some one say screen shots?! Well what do you know, I have them right here in my pocket:

![console](http://freespace.atomicscript.com/soft1901/console.gif) \[console output... not really useful, since it slows down the JVM if I spam debugging messages\] ![classes](http://freespace.atomicscript.com/soft1901/classes.gif) \[classes and their inter-relationships\] ![grid](http://freespace.atomicscript.com/soft1901/grid.gif) \[the current displays. Its not going to win any awards, but it **works**. Ignore the gif artifacts :-)\]

For those of you wondering, yes those are in fact gifs. Unisys' patent expired here last year :-)

Any who, must sleep now, tired as sloth after a marathon.

Cheers,
Steve
