For this project I wanted to created shooting stars using particles. I started first by creating a circle and pushing the particles so it would spawn from a random width location. I tried many different designs by changing the color, shape, and movement speed. In the end I liked the shape of the square and adding a x speed so the particles are moving not directly down but diagonally.Â
To add more depth to the particles I added transparency and random color. I also added a mouse pressed function so when the user presses their mouse a group of 5 new particles will spawn where the mouse location is.
