Oh...file name extensions. Those silly things. ;-)

In what ways do you think it could be improved? I'm just fishing for 
ideas...
BTW, one of the changes I plan on doing is separate environment objects, 
each with their own elasticity and other particle interaction 
characteristics. You could have portions of what appears to be a smooth 
wall but is really a pair of objects, one with more "slippery" 
characteristics, the other with "sticky" characteristics, so particles 
would stick to some parts of the wall but not others. You could spray 
paint the wall and have an invisible message appear.

I'll be interested in the results...
