The Explosions Class
Each explosion should have its own x and y location, future locations, moving directions, and a set of random speeds. A loop (of 12 iterations) adds the initial x and y location as a pair to a list, a random number between 0 and 2*π to another list, and a random number between 300 and 500 (these numbers can be adjusted to preference) to the speeds list. The speeds will decrease by a percentage per iteration of the explosion.
Moving the Explosion
For each of the copies of the initial x and y location (in the above screenshot, self.p), edit the x location by the speed multiplied by the time multiplied by the cosine of the corresponding direction and edit the y location by the speed multiplied by the time multiplied by the sine of the corresponding direction. Then, decrease the speed of the explosion by 10%.
Drawing the Explosion
First, clear the screen of any residual marks. Then, go through the list of locations and draw a dot for each one.
Animation
The exploding animation is standard and self explanatory.
