INTRODUCTION

  In the window of xparticles 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.

  See all available options with ./xparticles -h
