I made some fireworks

Happy 4th of July from America!
Although I dislike fireworks because they are loud, annoying, and typically used late at night, I was inspired by them and created this.

That's actually really good looking! Did you use shaders for the fireworks?

Thanks, I like it too

The only shaders used are a bloom shader and another for the white "stripes" on the rockets.

The fireworks were made by spawning a bunch of particles with randomized direction and speed, all affected by gravity.
Each particle records its position and time each frame and then lines are drawn between each of those points. The alpha of the line is the average of its two points' time compared to the particle's current time.

Also each particle is shimmering because a circle is drawn at the particle location with radius randomized each frame.
