Tiny TadPoles Example for SFML C++ (no audio)

This example shows improved trailing effects from sf::CircleShape to sf::TriangleStrip with tapering when the vector length is near the end of it's element. I think this looks better than the regular trailing effects taken from JavaScript as it's own object. For instance, the shadowing effect is not present at all and no alpha is needed for a blended look.

The random movements here mimic tiny tadpoles that wander around with vigor. It is attracted to the mouse cursor along with more attractors when a mouse button event is fired. You can also see when moving the cursor slowly, some of the particles will follow as if inquisitive.

This can also emulate flies buzzing around an object and some will stay as if interested while others will ignore and fly away. Parameters can be changed to strengthen or weaken the movement's attraction and would add a subtle layer of animation depth for background ambiance or mouse movement interaction.
