Xplode - concept to playable vid

This vid shows the evolution of a simple J2ME I've written. It's open source (GPL3) so if your interested in the code or just wanna play it, go to: http://kenai.com/projects/xplode or http://www.project13.pl/ and give it a try :-)

Initially I wanted to make the dots semi transparent like in: http://www.funny-games.biz/boomshine.html but this wouldn't work without extra JSR's that the SE Xperia just doesn't have - so i dropped it, since the manual implementation os this was just to slow (as show in the vid).
I also implemented the balls bouncing from each other, but this also caused a major slowdown if there were to much collisions between them - a manual implementation of arctan and not to quick calculations where needed in order to make them bounce realistically - so this feature was also dropped...

Maybe I'll add a highscore feature - could be fun I guess... Cheers!

Soundtrack: Reality by mindthings from the album The First Emotion. It's CC licensed, give the band a try at Jamendo (I really like it): http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/3177
