gbFlyZapper is a simple animation of a fly, whose path may eventually intersect with an electronic zapper!

The application uses a special algorithm (courtesy of Mark Hunter!) to simulate the movement of a fly - providing a smooth path but with significant, random changes in direction. The fly body is always rotated to face the direction of flight. The flight path for a short distance in front of the fly may be displayed, or the total path history may be viewed.
