Verlet integration

Cheers! Will be releasing Rhino Worm sooner or later, ahaha..
To answer your question, the Verlet component applies only to the trails. The particles move autonomously without any interacting mutual force. I've populated the scene with more than one just for the aestheics of the video.

I like it!
My curiosity is on which part is the Verlet integration applying: is it on the trails, or also on the cohesion force of the particles, or on both or something else?

Thnx! I think there wouldn't be too much of a difference, as the refresh/velocity ratio is pretty low, but I'm guessing rather than knowing. It's definetely worth comparing; might give it a try as soon as I've got time.

By the way, credits to the gHowl team for the UDP sender/receiver with which I could circumvent the cyclical data stream limitation.

Nice...at this scale would we notice any difference from Euler? It would be nice to run them side by side and see what the impact of each method is.
