my question is when you move the particle around

Make that a toggle switch that you can manipulate
during the program run, and while setting it up. You
probably want to watch the particles move while
debugging your code or for entertainment, but when
your goal shifts to seeing the final "tree", _not_
updating the graphics for each particle step will
speed you to your result perhaps 1000-fold.

You can then add a similar control for whether to
see the tree as each particle is added, or only at
the end of building the whole tree, again with speed
as the objective in the latter case.

Thanks for the tip.

at the moment im getting confused with the fact that, when a particle
bumps/collides/intersects with the seed does that particular particle
also become a seed too? (whe have now two seeds?)
