#2I recommend that you don't turn it up to 512 resolution on a macbook in firefox. =(

#3Wow, that's mesmerizing.
I would love to see this on a multi-touch display. I wonder if you could make an iphone app like this. Maybe have a little paper boat that floats on the surface which you can't interact with directly but you have to use your fingers to change the flow of the water to shepherd the boat through certain obstacles?
If anybody wants to do this I'll donate my time to make the art :-P

#4Definitely something that would benefit from the new Javascript "web workers" (worker threads). http://blog.mozbox.org/post/2009/04/10/Web-Workers-in-action

Autodesk has an iphone app called "Fluid". Pretty much the same idea.

That's why you use Google Chrome. I turned it up to 512 and that particular tab got hosed but I could easily kill it. :)

web workers don't have DOM access.

I doubt updating the UI is real processor-intensive. The worker threads would do the math without blocking the UI.

You can do all the multitouch stuff with javascript on the iPhone. No need for an app.
