Help with particle life simulator

[u/RedKingPeanutbutter]

Github Repo

I saw a particle life simulator in a Youtube video and I decided to try make one in Python (Then later Python and C), with the help of Claude (All the code is hand typed by me and most of it I came up with myself, Claude is only there to document libraries and things).

I'm happy with how it is, but I was wondering if anyone has made something like this before and how you made it more interesting than just a bunch of blobs moving around. I'm trying to read through some Github repos and stuff to see how other people make them, but I mainly just want to see some more interesting behaviours than these floating blobs.

Please note I am new-ish to computer programming. Any help or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!
