s-t, i made a real moving particle system a long time ago, you'll have to search the forums for it tho...and yours isn't nearly correct, though it's a common misconception. for a perfect, nondecaying orbit: an anchor point is randomized on beat, and the third derivative of the motion at any time is proportionate to the distance from that point. so you have (ax,ay)=anchor, (px,py)=particle, (mx,my)=motion vector (second derivative). at every step calculate the vector between (mx,my) and (ax,ay) on each axis, scale it down so you actually get a smooth movement, and add it to (mx,my). to make the orbit decay then just do a logarithmic decay on (mx,my) every step as well (e.g. mx=mx*0.95)
I'll look that up, I made my own semi-real moving particle system not that long ago, but I mainly just made up a system based on particle position and particle motion with a decay.
Sure thing Krypton, it's no problem, you just got to keep your cool and not get angry at people no matter what they do, or how many times they ask the same questions without searching the fourms.

Sorry Pixelcraft, watched your reply right after replied here.
Heh, that's alright, it happens 🙂
