Oh yes I understand now.
I dont think its that difficult in theory.
Certainly you can open a file and read all the values in
Also variables like how fast it falls, viscosity etc would be things that would have to be represented in the physics engine anyway so it wouldnt be a problem to load those values in.

Ive done a bit of a demo going using 3 different substances, but the problem Im having is its slow if uve got a few elements moving round at the same time. Its more like 'sliding mud' than 'burning sand'. Im still working on it.

I think one question to Erel would be, for graphics programs, how much faster will a compiled exe run compared to running from Basic4ppc when version 6 comes out? Also when do u expect version 6 to arrive?
