INTRODUCTION

  In the window of winparticles you can spray an amount of particles
  into the 'air'. The number of simulated particles is only limited by
  the speed of your PC. In the current version the particles don't
  interact with eachother however they will bounce back from the
  ground and they accelerate depending on a gravity constant. This
  constant can be changed along with a number or other parameters in
  the source code. Last not least there is a new capture option for
  capturing and playback of the 'fireworks'.

  See all available options with ./winparticles -h

  -a        automatic animation
  -f        switch to fullscreen mode
  -h        this text
  -p n      n = max number of particles (default = 20000)
  -r n      n = 0:640x480 1:800x600 2:1024x768 (default)
                3:1280x1024 4:1600x1200
  -d        use on dual processor mashines only
  -c FILE   capture all moves in a text FILE
  -y FILE   play capture file

  example: ./winparticles -y demo_movie.txt
