Ironically, you *gotta* let go for the thing to work. :-)
This is really fun stuff -- thanks Jim. More ideas for us to develop games...
(BTW, on two of the cards, the ball "escaped" through the bottom left corner of the card, maybe some kind of X = 0 or Y > height of the card thing.)

Scott,
I found the problem. I was letting the ball be reflected by the rectangle interior to the screen walls by a distance equal to the radius of the ball, but I calculated the *intersection* of the ball trajectory with the screen walls instead of that rectangle. The tracing (pen down) now remains totally within this inner rectangle.
The corrected version is again:

Pessimist: Life is just one damn bug after another.
Thanks again,
Jim
