A way to view the speed of particles.

    While posting on another thread, I had a lightbulb moment, if possible, how about somehow viewing the speed of particles. TBH I have no idea how it would be done, but I had an idea and decided to share it.

    I have been told that the particles do store their own horizontal and vertical velocities so it would be possible to output the data onto the screen.

    As to how to do it, I don't know. But It can be done

    What would be the use of this?

    I realize that the suggestion has no real useful value besides the cool factor, but hey, its an idea and thats what the suggestions forum is for.

    @smjjames some people would find speeds useful, like I find the life value useful when you compile the code from github.

    If you want life value, press "D" in the game.

    Don't we have velocity view already? How does your suggestion differ from it?
