Node-Particles
This repository provides a simple, programatic way of defining a particle system in Javascript and use it in your NodeJs project (i.e. as a backend library).
The base functionality has been forked and adapted from JavaScript-Particle-System so if you are looking for a particle system for the browser that's the place to go. There is also a very nice article from the same author here.

Usage
The easiest way to get the library is to use npm:
npm install node-particles
Then from your scripts you can consume it using require:
var ns =
Quick Example
var np = var ps = ; // creates a new ParticleSystem instance // Creates an Emitter at x:188,y:158 whose particles have a x:3,y:0 speed.// Particles size is 15, ttl = -1, the position of the particle is jittered +/- 0.15 // and 1 particle to be emitted on every cycle.ps; // Adds a field at x:254,y:211 with a mass of 500 (positive means attraction)ps; // Adds a field at x:443,y:411 with a -5 mass (repulsion)ps; // Run 10 cycles on the ParticleSystem. On each one the particles are generated// and the previous ones position is updated.ps; ps;
