Hey! This tutorial is my best try to explain particle movement, with GLSL

Using texture buffer as point positions, and direction vectors, and mixing different types of velocities! Hope you gonna love it, if there's something you'd like to know in a bit more detail, don't be shy to ask :)

Cheers!

GLSL - Moving particles (Touchdesigner tutorial)

In this tutorial, we are going to explore different possibilities to store positions and velocities in a GLSL TOP to make a little particle system. Also, we're going to touch upon uniform variables and how to use them as parameters for our particle system. Some vector math included, hope my explanations make sense :) Enjoy!
