/*
 * http://jsfiddle.net/mostlygeek/etz43/
 *
 * much credit goes to: http://thecodeplayer.com/walkthrough/canvas-fireworks-tutorial
 * tweaked a few things out for performance: 
 *
 * - revised the animation loop to stop animating when no more particles/fireworks
 * - use `|0` to round off to nearest pixel
 * - use a clock algorithm for trails, instead of pop() and unshift() on the array
