## Intro
A simple (but flexible enough for most uses) particle system is provided. Particle systems are used to simulate complex physical effects such as sparks, fire, magic particles, smoke, mist, magic, etc.

The idea is that a "particle" is emitted every a fixed interval and with a fixed lifetime. During his lifetime, every particle will have the same base behavior. What makes every particle different and provides a more organic look is the "randomness" associated to each parameter. In essence, creating a particle system means setting base physics parameters and then adding randomness to them.

#### Timescale
It happens often that the effect achieved is perfect, except too fast or two slow. Timescale helps adjust the overall speed.

## Randomness
All physics parameters can be randomiez. Random variables go from 0 to 1. the formula to randomize a parameter is:
```
initial_value = param_value + param_value*randomness
```
