Probably not, but as someone mentioned already, exact copies of the
same texture are pretty well recognizable...

One addition would be the rotation of the textures, but that won't work with
discs... If you imagine the great initial fireball as a torus, its easy to
explain:
the inner sides roll outwards and up, the outer sides inward an down...

I wanted to take my PRINTER and PRINT the PARTICLE SYSTEM to
go it through BY HAND and look at DECLARATIONS and ALGORITHMS
to find optimisation possibilities (putting five sheets of paper with different
sections
aside of each other isn't that easy to be done on a computer)...
Heh, thinking of it, it's like looking at a hard-coded version... ;-)

Aha. So we're approacing a particle rush? If you post yours, and it gets
popular,
mine won't have a chance... Ah, well.
