Thanks guys,
Yes, I mean Rube Goldberg the mouse trap thing.
What I envision is to have a button. (picture of a button).
Press the button, and a whole bunch of "visual complexity" occurs.
At the end a picture of an object results.
I suppose a movie or movies could be "visual complexity" things.
Thanks for the ideas

Collision detection can be done to certain extents in Quartz, with
math. Check out the teapotii.qtz from the 10.5 developer folder,
Optical Flow example. It's a pretty solid example of showing a way
to make an object bounce off of bounds.
Also, it can be done in certain ways with the Kineme Particle Tools
plugin (http://kineme.net).
Best,

If you do in fact mean Rube Goldberg stuff then something like the
Unity engine might suit better. The key part missing out-of-the box
from QC being collision detection.
