The primary objective of this project is to develop a particle system application using Particle System Application Programmer Interface (API) and a GLUT Based User Interface (GLUI). Particle System API is a C++ function library specification that allows applications to simulate the dynamics of the particles. The API wasimplemented in this project to add a diversity of particle-based properties to interactive graphics applications. The particle system specification is emphasized on the creation of a group ofparticles that are 'manipulatable\ GLUI User Interface Library provides a standard user interface elements that allows user interface elements to be added within an OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT) and it gives the user an opportunity to control the particle systems. The integration of both Particle SystemAPI and GLUIlead to the paradigm shift in learningand developing the particle systems.
