I'd think you'd have one hell of a time simulating all of that in Processing. Okay, that video was pretty freaking amazing, even with the video compression killing some of the detail.

Youtube's been very slow for me lately in general. I need to get my frustration out somehow. ;-) Oh, it's really no trouble. Youtube's been very slow for me lately in general.

You should be able to skip around and catch a few key moments of what's going on, even in HD. No need to download all ten minutes. Ha, sorry — worth just seeing a few minutes of it.

This thing better be made of nothing but pure awesome. The HD version of the first vid has been downloading for over an hour now, and is only 2/3rds done.
