    Nice job. Your shadows should vary more based on the size of the item. The Triceratops wouldn't throw as much shadow as larger items. The welcome matt almost none.

    Also on the trail, you could try a couple different things instead of the solid yellow just for fun. A dotted line and/or a fading line from where the train is now to where it started to show a passage of time? Just a thought.

    Great Idea for this challenge.

    Very clever and original idea indeed! And a well done map as well. I love Snodsy's idea about the trail too.

    Very cool idea! Maybe add a "real" railway track and make it smoother.

    Thanks Snodsy and Ilanthar, I will have to get to work on those things and see if I can make them better. I'm glad you guys like it.

    Thanks Carnifex, glad you like it. But as I said earlier, I really don't want to do an actual track because I don't think the kid would have actually used it. He would have just grabbed the toy and ran around the house with it going under furniture, around his mom, under his grampa's legs...you get the idea

    Some of the shadows have now been changed.
