twostraws/Vortex

Vortex is a SwiftUI particle system library designed to generate visual effects such as confetti and sparkles. It provides a configurable particle generator that supports custom color palettes, global state overrides, and timing offsets. The system simplifies integration by offering default symbol assets and views that function without requiring custom closures.

A new \confetti\ preset is now available for Vortex that allows users to specify a custom array of SwiftUI colors. When triggered, this effect generates confetti particles using the provided color palette, offering greater visual flexibility compared to the previous static implementation.

The Vortex library now includes a default set of three 16x16 symbol images—circle, confetti, and sparkle—within its resource bundle. These assets are exposed via the \Image\ extension in \DefaultSymbols.swift\, allowing consumers to reference these specific icons directly without needing to provide custom symbol closures or define their own assets.

The VortexSystem particle generator now supports a global \isActive\ boolean that can force the system to emit or stop regardless of other settings, and a \startTimeOffset\ property that allows animations to begin at a specific time offset. The system also conforms to \Identifiable\ with a public \id\, and manual \Codable\ implementation has been removed in favor of automatic conformance (supported by new \Codable\ conformance for \Angle\). Additionally, the \createParticle\ method now respects the \isActive\ state, and documentation/comments have been corrected to clarify that birth rates below 1 (not 0) are used for sub-second particle creation.

VortexView can now be initialized without specifying a symbols closure. If no symbols are provided, the view automatically uses a default set of three 16x16 particle images: circle, confetti, and sparkle. This simplifies usage for apps that do not require custom particle views, while existing code continues to work as before.
