Space Particles
Read full descriptionHide full description
Space Particles is a touch-driven visual sandbox for exploring motion, gravity, and light. Start with a live field of glowing particles, then shape it with gravity wells, repulsion, pulses, stir tools, vortices, and erase or freeze interactions. Switch between presets like spiral galaxies, binary systems, collisions, rings, streams, lattices, and nova-style bursts, or tune the simulation yourself. Particle Mode focuses on gravity-driven motion and emergent patterns. Firework Mode turns the same canvas into a configurable spark launcher with adjustable spread, trail length, gravity, drag, color, size, and lifetime. Built for quick experimentation: - Touch and drag directly on the canvas - Choose particle counts, speed, bounds, trails, colors, and visual themes - Toggle between performance and quality settings - Capture screenshots of scenes you create - Share scene links from the web version Space Particles is for anyone who likes visualizers, creative coding, particle systems, physics toys, generative art, or just watching a screen fill with organized chaos.
