There are many distributed computing projects, such as gimps "The Great
Internet Mersenne Prime Search", and they have many other non profit 
research projects listed on their websit that are always looking for 
processing help:

There is a reward of something like $100,000 for finding the next Mersenne
Prime.

I have now added some description and all the different versions of this
scene on my website, the code for water, ground and bricks can be found
there too.

I tried CSS for this new page, hope it works, it should look quite similar
to the other parts right now, if not please tell me.
