Did you ever wonder, how they do the simulation of all that snow, rain, dust, smoke, and fire in modern computer games? How they model bullets, ropes, curtains and solar systems?
With this particle system toolbox you can easily create particles, attractions, and springs in a particle system environment with gravity and drag and graphically simulate their interactions with just a few lines of code. Run one of the 12 demos and read the detailed documentation at

Due to a change in the axis command, the order of "axis equal" and "axis ([-limits limits -limits limits -limits limits])" had to be turned around.

1.1.0.0

Particles, springs, and attractions now have their own update_graphics_position method. New demo "Three-Body Eight".

1.0.0.0

All objects in the version 2.0 of this toolbox are derived from the handle class, significantly increasing the ease of aggregation and administration of particles, springs, and attractions in the particle system.
