Err .. not sure about the description "particle engine". I just get a load of wavy lines. And what's the mouse meant to do?

Yeah, this should instead be called an "Extremely Inefficient Random Horizontal Line Generator".

Edit: I thought it meant the + and - keys on the numeric keypad. Now I see random wavy lines, but where is the "particle" part of it?

Interesting. Would make a neat effect for a 2D scroller. Perhaps this could also be turned into a good random 2D lightning snippet.

What on earth is this?

I see lots of random straight horizontal lines. No particles

Am I doing something wrong?

It's not really particles, but it makes things similar to particles.
First, press + a couple times to increse the line's randomness.
Press and hold [ and ] to decrese/increse size and detail.
Press - to decrese randomness.

Nothing. Just show crosshairs.
