This shows the trails of some specks of colour as they emerge from ten moving bodies. The bodies come in two contrasting breeds; five belong to one breed and five belong to the other. Each body accelerates towards the closest body of the opposite breed with a constant magnitude of acceleration.

At regular intervals, each body emits a burst of ten specks of colour in a narrow fan to either side of the direction opposite to its velocity. Each speck of colour emerges at a speed of ten times the speed of the body that emits it. After that, its velocity doesn’t change. Ten such intervals after the speck of colour emerges, it disappears.

Each body belongs to one of four breeds: those that emit teal specks of colour, those that emit orange ones, those that emit white ones or those that emit violet ones. Each breed, in turn, belongs to one of two pairs. Each body accelerates with a constant magnitude of acceleration towards the closest body among those belonging to the other breed in the pair to which its own breed belongs.

Meanwhile, each body emits specks of the appropriate colour in the direction opposite to its acceleration. All the specks of colour move at the same speed and fade as they move. Continue reading
