The starfish moves about 2 times normal speed. Everyone complained about how slow it moved before.
Solution to the starfish climbing up on the glass looking unrealistic with wireframe on? Don't turn wireframe on.
Seriously, Jim slaved for 2 weeks trying to get the darn thing up on the glass gracefully. It's hard enough to animate that in an animation program like 3D Studio Max where you are certain exactly where and when it will climb up. Imagine trying to make it climb up smoothly regardless of where it is in the tank...
If there's hope that it will be fixed, that hope lies in the 3D background version of the Aquarium which will have totally new collision detection. Right now, the gravel floor is an imaginary curved shape. In the future, it will be a real object with a gravel texture on it. Much easier to make sure the starfish is in the right place.
