I've done a water spray in PLIB.  Several people were interested
in it so I turned the (very early alpha) game into a SourceForge

You can go to http://toobular.sourceforge.net and download the

I used OpenGL points - you might want to use little ssgCutout
particles using a fuzzy textured circle or something.
