    I just got my hands on Flint this afternoon and I had to share this effect that I discovered

    I basically put a gravity well in with the mutual gravity particles and tweaked the params.

    It looks like a star forms and some particles get trapped in orbit. After a while the "star" will emit particles like a solar flare.

    Let it run for 15 seconds or so. And if things settle down too much, just move your browser window a bit to shake things back up.

    I have started at this for... well let's just say too long. So cool!
