# Pebble Particles
An elegant and mesmerizing watchface that transforms your Pebble into a dynamic particle system where time flows through beautiful animated particles. Watch as smooth, flowing particles dance across your screen, creating an enchanting display while clearly showing the current time.
## Features
- Dynamic particle animation system
- Clear time display
- Battery-efficient animation implementation
## Project Structure
```
.
├── src/
│ └── c/
│ └── main.c # Main watchface implementation
├── package.json # Project metadata and Pebble configuration
└── wscript # Build system configuration
```
## Build Instructions
The project uses the Rebble tool for building and running. To build the project:
```bash
rebble build
```
This will generate a `build/pebble-particles.pbw` file.
## Running in Emulator
To run the watchface in the emulator:
```bash
rebble install --emulator basalt build/pebble-particles.pbw
```
To interact with the emulator:
```bash
rebble emu-control
```
This will provide a web interface accessible at a local URL (displayed in the terminal) where you can:
- View the watchface
- Test different time formats (12h/24h)
- Simulate different times of day
- Test the watchface on different platforms
## Implementation Details
### Main Components
1. **Particle System**
- Smooth particle animation
- Configurable particle behavior
- Memory-efficient particle management
2. **Time Display**
- Uses Pebble's time service
- Clear, legible time presentation
- Integrated with particle flow
3. **Animation System**
- Fluid particle movement
- Optimized update intervals
- Memory-efficient implementation
