| part_attractor_create | Creates a new attractor in the given particle system. It returns the index of the attractor. This index must be used in all calls below to set the properties of the attractor. |
| part_attractor_destroy | Destroys attractor ind in the particle system. Call this if you don't need it anymore to save space. |
| part_attractor_destroy_all | Destroys all attractors in the particle system that have been created. |
| part_attractor_exists | Returns whether the indicated attractor exists in the particle system. |
| part_attractor_clear | Clears the attractor ind to its default settings. |
| part_attractor_position | Sets the position of attractor ind to (x,y). |
| part_attractor_force | Sets the force parameters of attractor ind. |

Particles are normally very fast to process due to the fact that
they are normally just graphical effects which, once fired off, are
left to do their own thing based on the parameters set for them
when you created the system. These routines, however, could be used
to change particle properties after they have been created
in a game, which means that each particle has to be tracked and
dealt with in an individual manner. As this is horribly slow and
defeats the purpose of particles (as they are meant to be used for
fast graphical effects)
