You have to simulate the H2O molecules. fill the pool with millions of tiny invisible balls!

YES! YES! YES! Damned, why I didn't tried before, hehehe!!!

I let fall the following ball on/in a passable block (water). I really get stange behaviour (the ball becomes like a shark, hehehe!) . What do you think about? Is there a way of improvement?

As for the patch: does reducing the mass help in fixing the problem? I would have thought increasing the mass should be more suitable in that it makes the sphere more resistant to movement (as does increasing the damping).

Many of the physics effects shown there can be reproduced with A6 (buoyancy and "soft bodies" not yet).

How about recreating a GameStudio demo with that gravity weapon ?
