@scudly Thanks a lot. The particles of life nailed it totally.
I’m goint to integrate this in the rest of my code.
I’ll leave here an example of what I cooked so far. It’s a fun stuff to play with, xhanging forces and limits cool stuff… I made a very controlled one.
live in p5.editor
it’s a little oppressesd in the half a page of the editor though…
also the code is not very clean yet.
