That will be later! :)

Thanks! It was quite a headache to implement, but it seems to work now.

No.

No, but I don't think it would be correct anyway. Theoretically if there's a
large object and a small object with the same "springiness" and the two
objects hit a surface with equal velocity, they should bounce equally much,
shouldn't they?

But anyway, I don't think a particle system can be compared to real water
that directly. Real water doesn't consist of particles. And when a water
drop hits a surface it may divide into several smaller drops and generally
behave in very complicated ways.

I hope my particle system will be cool-looking, but it's not supposed to be
used by scientists! ;)

Do you mean the pseudo motion blur that stretches out the particles in the
direction of movement? I personally like it, but it can be made stronger or
weaker or turned completely off.
