Re:Simulating and rendering 262,144 particles with GLSL.

On a somewhat silly but related note:
A game I wrote a while ago uses GLSL, geometry shaders and transform-feedback to simulate and render a large number of particles. The particles can be dynamically created, bounce on the height-map and fade and die after some time.
Last I checked, you can easily render 350,000 particles with several viewports on my HD7970. Although the amount of hearts on the screen is a bit too much at that point.
