OK!

Yet another day in class with nothing to do…

So… I’ve been cruising on [levitated.net](http://levitated.net) (haven’t been there for a while), and decided to recreate one of the open source exhibitions.

mine: [www.avalon-rev.dk/junk/particles/particles2.html](http://www.avalon-rev.dk/junk/particles/particles2.html)

I wrote the code myself, without looking at the [levitated.net](http://levitated.net) source (personal challenge… or whatever…)

It’s not exactly as the [levitated.net](http://levitated.net) one, mine follows the cursor around.

it has:

- Alpha generation on particle-birth.
- Mouse follow
- 2 modes of death (click the text in the lower-left corner to switch between them.  
-Alpha degeneration on death  
-random size and placement based on follower position

I used basic AS principles, so the code is messy, and hardly very effecient 😊

if anyone wants the fla to play around with, just ask, I’ll post it here then…

Over and out!
