Starting from marblesoccer.com (which is hosted on github), I copied all the latest versions of the source code and got a version running on my server. After getting the latest version of all the code, the marbles floated above the board instead of rolling right on it, and the camera was positioned just *under* the player marble. I figured out how to adjust the camera so it's watching from a comfortable distance, but I still need to have the camera swing around to face the way the marble is moving.

I turned down (from 1 to 0.1) the restitution of the tiles so the marbles would quit bouncing and be unworkably difficult to thread through the little sample maze I put up.

(I'm writing while offline now, but I'm considering taking a snapshot of the current version just for posterity)

Next steps are to grab a copy of the map editor and incorporate that on my site so I don't have to copy json to a local file, upload it to my server, then copy its contents into the code, though that ain't half bad compared to typing in pages of byte codes from Compute! magazine to run the latest flowerpot dodging game!

Went to Paola and Jon for the final yoga class of 2011; Paola is going to India tomorrow for a 5 month trip. Nice!

Yumi, who told the story about Tsunamika last night, told her story about the hugging mama, upon whose ashram she happened while on her way to the beach. Yumi was there for 3 days, but never queued up for a hug. She said hugging mama never got up to pee nor eat in those three days of continuously giving hugs, each one of which was genki like her first hug of the day.

Shiho said she quit her job recently, and wanted to get into some graphic design for the web. I offered to let her do ctbriefs.net, which I've had up for a few years, always with my untrained design.

Paola prepared a veritable feast of cashews and almonds + fruit and champagne + other people brought stuff. Yummy yummy!!
