Hey yeah that does look rather good, although individual droplets are a bit too bouncy without any inter-molecular forces.

I guess I should mention that using a sinusoidal gradient is probably not the best way; using a hyperbolic gradient might be better as it would give a larger range of sizes for combined molecules - however, the rounding might have o be tweaked (which is easier, coincidentally, with the flooring method as point it is rounded up/down at is flexible.)

It's a matter of compatibility, by aiming low, you include as many people as possible.
But not me :(

Yeah, sorry mate, but unfortunately this really cannot be done without canvases (actually, maybe stencil masks might work? But if you don't support canvases, can you support those?) [actually, I have no idea how stencils work.]

EDIT: Maybe one could draw all the necessary stuff way off screen using a scissor box, and then copy the required bits back into view?

How come some machines don't work with canvases?
