## What it is
A tutorial project demonstrating how to render a large number of interactive particles with Three.js, using an off-screen texture for efficient mouse and touch reaction. It accompanies a Codrops article and includes a runnable demo built with WebGL shaders.

## Use cases
- learn how to draw many particles with three.js
- make particles react to mouse movement in webgl
- interactive particle background for a website
- learn gpu shader techniques for particle systems
- example of off-screen texture interaction in three.js
- starting point for creative coding particle effects

## When to choose
- you want to learn efficient particle rendering and mouse/touch interaction with Three.js
- you need a reference implementation for shader-based particle effects in the browser
- you are following the Codrops tutorial and want the source code

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready particle library with an API to drop into your app
- you need a maintained, licensed dependency - the repo has no explicit license and is a tutorial artifact
- you work outside JavaScript/WebGL environments

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: graphics, animation, simulation
- domain: web-development, frontend, graphics, tutorials
- platform: browser
- tags: threejs, webgl, particles, tutorial, glsl, codrops, interactive-graphics, web, javascript, nodejs
