I want to put something like that map in our app and can't find anything. Anyone know how this was done or any plug-and-play options to reproduce? Thanks!

I assume you mean the "explosions" on the map?

These are canvas elements, put inside a RichMarker.

Each canvas element is a small particle generator (this was not needed, but somehow bastarized this version (http://scurker.com/projects/particles/), to better control what I wanted to display.

What I still don't like about it, is each canvas having his own timer / update interval. It would feel more homogeneous having a global timer, and updating each canvas element sequentially. In another release I would probably do that, and replace WebSockets with Server Side Events.

I think the code is pretty straightforward, so feel free to dive into it.

Hey, thanks.

Any chance I can hire you to put something together for me for our specific case use? Or otherwise, consult with you to ask some more questions?

John.
