Progress today was mostly on the programming side of things, there is one mouse click function (select a random boid) and a mouse rotate function using mouse X and Y, only one or two more functions are available, and I suspect they are not really necessary. All that's needed at this point is to make the mouse!

In the next day or so I will try to complete the mouse and fine tune the software to use it with the device. The mouse design is more or less to place a sphere over the laser sensor and rotate it with the users palm. My current worry is making the movement smooth so it doesn't catch on anything. There will also be two switches and possibly a scroll wheel (if i can mount it/ think of a good use for it).

And that's todays progress! I would post the source code for this point but I don't want any confused plaguerism cases re: my assessment. AUT can be quite picky about that =p
