• Particles of size r=0 are randomly spawned on a visible canvas
• The particles grow if they're on top of a (non-rendered) black pixel, and shrink till they disappear if not
• When they shrink to r=0, they respawn randomly somewhere
• The particles follow a Perlin noise flow field, a very sensible and fluid kind of random movement, in which nearby particles
