I know now why there are not more games of this kind made just for fun: it's a lot more work than I had anticipated! As a team of four we just about managed to finish this in the way we planned. At least we got very good feedback so far. :)

Processing rules and you (and your friends) too !

In summary, I'd say for us the main benefit of Processing is that it allowed us to have much more team work and direct interactions between the experienced programmer and the beginners.

Our first paper on using Processing for science outreach has been submitted and is now available on the pre-print server: http://arxiv.org/abs/1111.3899. The paper describes some of the background for the existence of the gwoptics.org web presence, i.e. the idea to develop small computer applications to be used for educational purposes and to teach gravitational waves physics. Our students'  Processing sketches are the main output of this activity with the two computer-games related to gravitational wave science: Black Hole Pong and Space Time Quest as the highlights.
