More Pretty Pictures

I've been considering what type of interaction my mouse toy should explore. My inner male instinct cried for destruction so a couple of ideas were roused. The first was fireworks. Pretty explosions varying in colour that detonate centred on the mouse click and fade away. If the mouse was clicked and dragged it would release sparks and a trail of light, much like a sparkler.



The entertainment would come from the ability to draw temporary pictures with the fading drag and to madly blast away at the screen creating a chaotic scene. It is simple but there is room for development.
An idea that sprouted from this one was that there could be a bunch of shapes falling from the top of the screen and if you click them they explode and disappear but if they reach the bottom a bar is raised that if it reaches the top you lose. A score could be kept to measure your abilities. How to actually program this, I'm not too sure...
