Data-Driven Implosion Particle Effect in Vanilla JS
Description: 🎓 Check out the EXTENDED course, full SOURCE CODE, advanced FEATURES, ton of free ART ASSETS: https://www.udemy.com/course/javascript-game-development-pixel-by-pixel/?referralCode=BD572E51CCFEB2519855
Learn how to build a scalable, data-driven particle system in Vanilla JavaScript! In this class, we create a 3-stage implosion effect (burst, hover, implode) using clean, modular architecture.

💡 In this lesson, you'll learn:
• How to structure a 3-stage particle behavior (burst, hover, implode)
• Why "dumb systems" + "plug-and-play modules" keep your codebase scalable
• Exponential decay math for smooth, frame-rate independent drag
• Vector distance, direction normalization, and arrival logic
• How to override particle properties (color, count) cleanly through data structures
How would you implement custom particle shapes (circles, images) in a data-driven system? Let me know your architectural ideas in the comments below!
