Sorry about the size, I'm too lazy to create a smaller one.

No new features, just stiffer springs and some initial velocity to make 
Tim happy. Also, the extension is mpg now to make the browsers happy.

Cristoph: here's a pic to show the spring arrangement. All of the 
cylinders are springs starting from the yellow (corner) node. Maybe it's 
understandable now, if it isn't, I give up. :) So the green springs are 
twice the length as others, connecting every second node. I dunno if 
that's any good, I just read about it somewhere, and I liked the idea.

Do you think I should also connect the yellow with the cyan colored one?

BTW, I think I've come up with a solution for damping. Take two 
consecutive timesteps, and measure how much the distance of two connected 
nodes changes. This way you get the relative speed of these two nodes, 
which you can use to calculate the damping of the spring connecting them. 
This should work I guess.
