Sounds like an interesting and worthy project; and a good start!

I don't know much about it myself, but there are many discussions on cloth
simulation on various pages... One page I've found a good resource for this
sort of thing is the "Good-looking Textured Light-sourced Bouncy Fun Smart
and Stretchy Page" (I love the name!). It's at
http://www.esite-host.com/~rocketmg/. The author has a specific article on
cloth simulation, here:
http://www.esite-host.com/~rocketmg/models/m_cloth.htm.

The site has many introductory articles about general algorithms for things
like particle systems, gravity, collision detection and whatnot. I suggest a
casual visit, at least. ;)

Hope it helps,
