Lessons

• learned how to use Parcel (its by far the least annoying js bundler I've used thus far but its a bit quirky)
• learned a lot about JS Maps and how it's really hard to have a key be two numbers lol
• tone.js chokes with hundresd of simultaneous samples playing (i guess duh lol
• particle sims are really fun!!!!

If we build more

• we'll need a much more robust way ov managing particl interactions. the complexity can quickly enter n^2 edge cases if you are not careful
  • this may be one of the rare times in my life i actually think i need OOP lol
• i never found a clear way to make this sound nice, but i think if i spent the time i could sound desing it
• one of us should almost certainly be dedicated to the sound desing / music part of this
• there is some kind of really wack interpolation or something going on that make the pixels color funny. I have yet to sort out why that is but i think it's in p5
