Is there any way to update the particles dynamically?

[kabirverman]

Let's say I want to update state and change the particle color. Is there a way I can keep the same particles that are alive on screen and just update their colors? To clarify, I don't want to destroy them and spawn new particles with the correct color.

Any Help would be appreciated!

Yes, but you need to write a custom plugin for that

[kabirverman]

I can't seem to find much documentation other than https://particles.js.org/docs/interfaces/tsParticles_Engine.Core_Interfaces_IContainerPlugin.IContainerPlugin.html

Can you point me to where I can learn more about creating a custom plugin?

https://github.com/tsparticles/tsparticles/tree/main/updaters/color

This is the plugin responsible for the color updates, it can be a starting point.
