QBJS Particle Fountain

[bplus]

I am tweaking dbox pset version with less bubble release each frame for consistent fountain pattern (same tweak as in Proggies) PLUS a wider viewing frame that spreads Bell Curve a little better:

Looks great!

Its a work in progress, ai assisted and it fun! My adaptation give varying pressure to the fountain so the jet changes height and the associated droplets then fall sooner, etc...

Heres where im at now, its so much fun! gonna apply textures net and then do fire, smoke and sparks! I love particles!
