   Hello,
   
   I love the Flint particle system and would like to accomplish something similar to this "atom" effect:

   It would be nice to be able to interact with the atoms using the mouse. I would be really appreciative if someone could give me some guidance on how to accomplish this with Flint.
   
   Thank you

   Using the GravityWell effect, you could cause the particles to orbit an object.
   
   Depending on how you want them to react to the mouse, any of these might be useful

   Richard (or anyone else), could you possibly give me an example of how I would implement this? I would like it to rotate around an object in 3D space. Much appreciated!
