In the following example, we are going to create a basic particle system with 100 particles. We want to have red and purple particles which move slowly across the screen.

import * as particulab from 'particulab'
const canvas = document.getElementById('canvas') as HTMLCanvasElement
const system = new particulab.ParticleSystem(canvas,
{
canvasSize: { x: 800, y: 600 }
amount: 100
lifeSpan: particulab.range(5, 15)
}
)
// Set visual properties for the particles
system.size = particulab.range(1, 3)
system.speed = { x: particulab.range(-2, 2), y: particulab.range(-2, 2) }
system.colors.push(new particulab.HEX("ff0000"))
system.colors.push(new particulab.RGBA(255, 255, 0, 1))
system.opacity = particulab.range(50, 100)
// Select a custom image for the particles
system.shapes.push[new ParticleImage('assets/myImage.png')]
system.init()
