Hi Manuel,
I finally got enough of the lab rebuilt to view this on z26.
Very impressive, even without collision detection!!!
I like your solution a lot. Alternating the cannons looks cool,
gives you more cycles, and is logical from a physics point of view too!
Now I can't wait to see the explosions and hear things flying by!
I can see why on the fly computation is tough, even outside the kernel.
How tight is the kernel now? :)
