Running in real-time in WebGL with a handful of GLSL shaders.

- Generate random (not necessarily uniform) positions and directions for each particle.

  • Particles travel in a direction until they hit the trail of any other particle, including their own, at which point generate a new direction.
  • Edit: Some subset of the particles are influenced by an underlying noise field.

Would love to see the end result of systematic positions and directions - could form a new class of interesting "psychedelic" symmetrical patterns.
