    pfft, it's always stuck up against the sides though.

    What they should do, is make one of those endless pools for it, but reversible and sidewaysable, so you can apply and 2D vector to the water direction. Then you just control that so the fishy stays centered, and the the car travels at an opposite direction/speed to the water vector applied to fishy.

    Then make it big enough for a shark, obviously.

    If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing.

    Also, now I think about it, you might get away with just using a traditional endless swimming pool, cos the car can turn to provide vector orientation as the fishy turns.

    Now there's a saying that I'd add to my signature if I wasn't so lazy.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Well, here's another one

    "A shark on whiskey is mighty risky, but a shark on beer is a beer engineer"

    So do two at once for continued laziness?
