This is a really REALLY cool screen saver type thing that I made. It's cool cause there are a bunch of different directions that the fire flies can move in. I also used some like a free fall, floating, random movement, and a cool sine function one too. Check this out though, because it's one of my favorite things I've ever made. Ask about anything that doesn't work or any bugs, please rate, thanx~

VBcoders' These things look like little pixeys so that's
' what I named them. Although, they also look like
' fire flies, so whatever works. Enjoy!!!
