It aims to be simple +to integrate in existing game and physics engines, such as [Bevy] or [Rapier]. +See the [demo source code] for the example of an integration (less than 50 +actual lines of code!). +The [demo] is available on the browser (Chromium-based recommended) +with various scenes you can interact with. + +Particular can be used with [rayon] to leverage multithreading on the +CPU (`parallel` feature). Although the current algorithm performs well enough +for most use cases, with a single frame taking around 5 ms with 5000 particles +on an I9 9900K, future updates will introduce other implementations to allow for +faster computation of the forces (example: [Barnes-Hut]). + +You can find more about Particular with +[this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFrq9ckHoN8&) from +[@ChristopherBiscardi](https://github.com/ChristopherBiscardi), or +[this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/x7uhoq/media_particular_a_simple_library_for_nbody/) +on Reddit. + +[Particular]: https://github.com/Canleskis/particular +[demo]: https://canleskis.github.io/bevy-particular-demo/ +[demo source code]: https://github.com/Canleskis/bevy-particular-demo/blob/main/src/nbody.rs +[@Canleskis]: https://github.com/Canleskis +[rayon]: https://github.com/rayon-rs/rayon +[Barnes-Hut]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnes%E2%80%93Hut_simulation + ## Popular Workgroup Issues in Github <!-- Up to 10 links to interesting issues --> diff --git a/content/news/038/particular.gif b/content/news/038/particular.gif new file mode 100644 index 000000000..f1d06744a Binary files /dev/null and b/content/news/038/particular.gif differ
