Great start!

Three things:

- horizontal (long) direction is the opposite of vertical (short) direction. That is, a vertical tilt does the opposite of a horizontal tilt; it is a "bubble" vertically, but a "weight" horizontally. I think it should be a weight ("fall" down) in both directions.

-Screen blanking! Argh!

- The accelerometer point should be a repeller, not an attractor. This would be more like sheep herding. You can still create attractors by touching the screen, but the floating point should be a sheepdog, that is, a repeller.

amazing!

cure the only flaw:

upload to extras-devel
99.9% of all testers/users/sheep do not know how to install stuff in this manner, please don't even bother trying to talk them round, ever.

Now you're sorry you let yourself get talked into this by someone who knows ZILCH about code, aren't you. *sigh*

I want to see SHEEP! (Sobs)
RevdKathy,

You need to install rootsh from the app manager,
then type root in a terminal window before you can use the apt-get command.

RevdKathy

Looking at your prompt you were not root when you ran apt-get.

Nope - I'm still stupid. I installed the /.deb file to the same place I put the .tar file.

I installed rootsh (from the repo). And I gained root.

But is when I run the .deb file it says 'file not found'. So I'm in the wrong directory.

I'm on IRC if anyone wants to help me play Bo Peep!

This is the tried and true attitude that continues to be successful in keeping school children from disadvantaged backgrounds from making progress.
