Computational monsters? It's not the case.
I'm not a programmer neither a physicist, so I have no idea how particles
systems are usually done... ;)
Mine uses a simple 30-40 lines code to do all the calculations. It took me
just 30 minutes to write it down one or two weeks ago. No fancy features, no
inter-particle interaction. Yet it seems to work well in animations. And SDL
is required for trace(). I will post this scene animated tomorrow.
