Good point. =) They could sort of be thought of as very large particles,
though, couldn't they? I actually started making this long before I even
started reading posts on this group, so I didn't think of the particle
system idea until after I had started. I figured I could expand it later to
let the user specify vector fields that describe the force on the particles,
and let the user have the option of letting particles bounce or not. I would
also add the ability to let particles create a force on each other based on
their distance apart. Then it could be used for both purposes: a particle
system or a large-visible-object system.

I may or may not actually complete this some day.

I'll post the animation to p.b.a in a minute unless I never restored it
after I reformatted, though I'm sure I've got a backup somewhere if I
haven't.
