# particlez

A toy particle system written in Rust with `crossterm`, maybe useful for TUI applications.

## Examples

#### Fall to Floor

Uses `ParticleBoundsHandling::Stop` and displays particle based on its velocity. Particles hit the floor and appear to flatten.

```

cargo run --example fall_to_floor

```

#### Rainfall

Uses `ParticleBoundsHandling::Wrap` and displays particle based on its velocity. Raindrops moving faster look "thinner" and raindrops moving slower are more rounded.

```

cargo run --example rainfall

```

#### Bugs Crawl

Uses `ParticleBoundsHandling::Wrap` and `ParticleMovement::RandomSomeDirection` to simulate bugs crawling.

```

cargo run --example bugs_crawl

```

![bugs_crawl](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6bcdb9cf-4472-4d6f-901c-054d8b54a94e)

#### Spaceflight

Uses `ParticleBoundsHandling::Wrap` and varying `ParticleMovement::ConstantVelocity` to simulate smoothly passing objects in space, some near and some far in the distance.

```

cargo run --example spaceflight

```
