I can't recall whether I tested the ants demo last night, but it definitely doesn't work for me now. Once it starts it can't be altered or stopped except by killing the process. I confirm that everything else I've tried works including rc_polypanel, which provides options for producing pretty "polyspiral" pictures (white on black looks good...). Also Marek Kopisci's 'intelligent' sheepdog demo works. I've put a copy here if anyone is interested in trying it out: https://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/projects/poplog/examples/no-points-sheepdog.p (I've enlarged the window size and chosen the less messy display option showVertices = false.) So why the ants demo doesn't work is a mystery. Perhaps the loop it runs is somehow unintentionally set to be uninterruptable. Aaron http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~axs
