Angles (Patreon)

Hey! It's been a pretty busy week for me, not as much time to play with Touch as I would love to. But, I've managed to finalize a pretty nice setup inspired by Polyhop's work for you to play with and dissect :)

The basic idea behind is to feed a trail back into a particle system and use it for simple collision detection:

Each particle checks if the space ahead is free before it moves forward, and if it's occupied with a trail or another particle it tries to change direction. If a particle has changed direction more than 4 times it gets reset and starts again from a random location.

I may make a tutorial about this technique at some point, and for now, here's a project file. 

Enjoy! :)
