  - `Mouse wheel up`: Increase brush size

- **Keyboard Controls:**

  - **Simulation:**

    - `Space` : Pause & resume simulation

    - `Comma (,)` : Slow down time

    - `Period (.)` : Speed up time

    - `F` : Pause and step forward one frame

    - `R` : Remove all particles

  - **Particle brush:**

    - `[` : Decrease brush size

    - `]` : Increase brush size

    - `Ctrl + [` : Decrease brush size (increments of 10)

    - `Ctrl + [` : Increase brush size (increments of 10)

  - **Particle velocity:**

    - `W` : Increase vertical speed

    - `A` : Decrease horizontal speed
