Teilchen ( Umfeld Library ) with GPU Particles
the teilchen library now has a GPU particle option. as always, it is still VERY raw and lacks a lot of features. however, i was always interested in trying this out ;)
FYI GPU particles refers to the technique of simulating particles on the graphics card (GPU) i.e allowing to process orders of magnitude more particles compared to a simulation on the CPU. the tradeoff is less controll over the particles i.e it is harder to access and read and write particle data.
