    # color manipulation
    for particle in particle_system.particles:

    # render shapes
    particle_system.make_shape()

    # post shape creation manipulation
    for particle in particle_system.particles:
        particle.shape.angle += 5

    # render particles
    particle_system.render(surface=screen)

    # update display
    pygame.display.update()
    screen.fill((13, 17, 23))
    clock.tick(FPS)
