The key difference from this API compared to the standard particle
spawner one is that you can define the particle's parameters as a
linear function of a constant, time, and 12 random variables. The
12 random numbers are enough for each of the original random variables
to have an independent/uncorrelated random value (i.e. you can implement
a standard particle spawner's behavior using the advanced one) but
interesting things happen when you reuse a single random value between
different parameters.
