🎉 Release v1.1.0 – Upgraded with collisions, new lightning effects

Changelog

[1.1.0] - 2024-10-04

Added

• Collision-Triggered Lightning: Particles now trigger lightning bolts upon collision, with configurable colors, glow, thickness, and intensity.
• Avoidable Areas: Define specific areas on the canvas that particles should avoid. Added updateAvoidableAreas and getCollidedAvoidableArea methods to dynamically calculate and adjust avoidable areas.

Improved

• Particle Collision and Movement: Enhanced particle collision logic with dynamic adjustments based on canvas size, frame rate, and particle collisions with avoidable areas.
• Lightning Behavior: Updated lightning configurations, including new settings for lightning splits, segment control, and lifetime adjustments, providing more control over lightning visuals.
• Code Performance: Optimized frame rate handling and dynamic particle count adjustments based on FPS limits, ensuring smooth performance across different devices.

Fixed

• Edge Case Handling: Improved handling of particles at canvas edges, ensuring smooth movement and responsiveness to collision-triggered events.

Configurations

• New configuration parameters:
  • collisionLightningColor, collisionLightningGlowColor, collisionLightningOpacity, collisionLightningThickness for collision-triggered lightning.
  • minParticleCount, maxParticleCount, particleAdjustStep for dynamic particle adjustments based on canvas size.
  • pauseOnScroll and pauseOnBlur for control over animation pauses based on window focus or scroll events.
