I'm really sorry to ask this if it's an easy question. I am trying to create a patch which has 2 different coloured objects (5 of each colour) which move around a space semi-randomly. I want to give them basic sets of rules (so that they cluster and move around together), which would hopefully (very simply) model group behaviour. I think I know how I will do this (it should be quite simple), but having not used Jitter that much it is the visualisation of these objects that I am having trouble with, and I think I need to be able to see what I'm doing in order to do the Max stuff. Is it quite simple to create 10 different objects (they can be as simple as small squares or circles), which can exist and be independently controlled within the same matrix (or jit.window essentially)? I have tried creating several matrices and using a series of jit.xfades, but after about 3, you can't see any of the objects. As I said before, I do apologise if there is an obvious answer, but having tried lots of options, I am running out of time for this project.

#09 Particle rave-a-delic should be basically what you're looking  
for, if I understand correctly.
