Awesome!
I wonder if you could program repeating patterns into processing to get the ball to travel in different patterns (sine waves, diags, ovals, 8′s etc…)
I’ve justed posted some more details about this, including the code, to: http://origamata.com/?p=1

Thanks so much for posting the added details on your blog, this is a wonderful project!
