Floatplane's login screen background in Rust

[Cebolonha]

I'm learning Rust, and I was trying to find something fun to code. 

The last WAN show featured Floatplane's login screen (https://www.floatplane.com/login), which is cool.

So I made this: https://github.com/ricardopieper/rust-particles

There's probably a lot to refactor, for instance, there are many methods expecting the same arguments on the Renderer impl. But I only have so much time.
I made it using Piston.

Currently featuring:

 - Connection strength: The longer 2 particles are near each other, the stronger the connection
 - Show only the connections near to the mouse position
 - A little bit of brightness around a particle that depends on the connection strength
 - The connected line opacity also depends on the connection strength.
 - Strength gradually increases/decreases depending on the distance. This means the connection lines have a fade-in/fade-out effect.
 - Particle speed depends on its size (the bigger, the faster)
 - Particles bounce off of walls

The effect is not identical to floatplane's but it's kinda similar.

This is pretty cool! Nice work!

pretty sure this is the code of the original

Spoiler

var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas"),
    ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');

canvas.width = window.innerWidth;
canvas.height = window.innerHeight;

var stars = [], // Array that contains the stars
    FPS = 60, // Frames per second
    x = 100, // Number of stars
    mouse = {
      x: 0,
      y: 0
    };  // mouse location

// Push stars to array

for (var i = 0; i < x; i++) {
  stars.push({
    x: Math.random() * canvas.width,
    y: Math.random() * canvas.height,
    radius: Math.random() * 1 + 1,
    vx: Math.floor(Math.random() * 50) - 25,
    vy: Math.floor(Math.random() * 50) - 25
  });
}

// Draw the scene

function draw() {
  ctx.clearRect(0,0,canvas.width,canvas.height);
  
  ctx.globalCompositeOperation = "lighter";
  
  for (var i = 0, x = stars.length; i < x; i++) {
    var s = stars;
  
    ctx.fillStyle = "#fff";
    ctx.beginPath();
    ctx.arc(s.x, s.y, s.radius, 0, 2 * Math.PI);
    ctx.fill();
    ctx.fillStyle = 'black';
    ctx.stroke();
  }
  
  ctx.beginPath();
  for (var i = 0, x = stars.length; i < x; i++) {
    var starI = stars;
    ctx.moveTo(starI.x,starI.y); 
    if(distance(mouse, starI) < 150) ctx.lineTo(mouse.x, mouse.y);
    for (var j = 0, x = stars.length; j < x; j++) {
      var starII = stars[j];
      if(distance(starI, starII) < 150) {
        //ctx.globalAlpha = (1 / 150 * distance(starI, starII).toFixed(1));
        ctx.lineTo(starII.x,starII.y); 
      }
    }
  }
  ctx.lineWidth = 0.05;
  ctx.strokeStyle = 'white';
  ctx.stroke();
}

function distance( point1, point2 ){
  var xs = 0;
  var ys = 0;
 
  xs = point2.x - point1.x;
  xs = xs * xs;
 
  ys = point2.y - point1.y;
  ys = ys * ys;
 
  return Math.sqrt( xs + ys );
}

// Update star locations

function update() {
  for (var i = 0, x = stars.length; i < x; i++) {
    var s = stars;
  
    s.x += s.vx / FPS;
    s.y += s.vy / FPS;
    
    if (s.x < 0 || s.x > canvas.width) s.vx = -s.vx;
    if (s.y < 0 || s.y > canvas.height) s.vy = -s.vy;
  }
}

canvas.addEventListener('mousemove', function(e){
  mouse.x = e.clientX;
  mouse.y = e.clientY;
});

// Update and draw

function tick() {
  draw();
  update();
  requestAnimationFrame(tick);
}

tick();
