Even More to Do

Well, my friend came over last week, and said that he wanted to port the old iPod game "Parachute" to Java.

He said that in the game, you control a turret. Which shoots at helicopters. Simple. But those helicopters drop soldiers with parachutes who come to throw grenades at you. You know, that sort of thing.

I really don't like war games that much, but for his sake I thought I'd try it, since I'm stuck on my raytracer:


{ The three outer spheres are supposed to be reflective. It's closer than what I've had for weeks, but I still don't understand why it's wrong. }

So I now have something else to do. I have the turret up and running. But it doesn't shoot. The bullets round their positions, so it's kind of strange. So... not up and running? The good part is that it shouldn't take too long if I work on it continuously. I'll try.
