Is there a more efficient way to make particles move towards the mouse?

Question

I know we can set the turtles to face the mouse, and then move them forwards (or backwards). However, in my particle simulation when I did this it made it run very poorly, and I would definitely prefer to have a fast, smooth looking animation. Is there anyway to do this with less of a performance impact?

Comments

Curious -- I'm not sure why that is. Are you using "tick-based" display updates, or "continuous", and does that matter?

What we did in class today is actually exactly what I needed, so question answered!

Answer 1

I believe we covered something like this during class today, so I would suggest just converting the animation into an mp4 so it can move more smoothly.

agreed. Thank you, Peyton

Answer 2

If the movement seems slow, maybe you could try increasing the forward distance the turtles travel.
