I'm not planning to do a fully functional particle system at all :(
I have some code I wrote for fun that perhaps I will put together into a
*real* particle system when I have time (I'm too busy with University at the
moment).

The last animation I posted took 1h and 56 minutes to render (400 frames,
320x240, +a0.3). Without inter-particles collision things should be much
faster.

Not yet.
