How can i use two particle systems meantime? about arbor HOT 8 OPEN

It seems to be a bug that node's prototype is associated with particular particle system.
I made a quick fix and am planning to make a pull request after some more test.

I'm seeing the same behavior? is this a bug ? is there a work around ?

Hi @joniburn, what happened to your quick fix? I have a use case with several particle systems on the same page and it would really help me a lot. I looked for it on your github page and couldn't find anything.

Hi @christianvoigt, thank you for your replying.
I'm sorry for deleting my repogitory, since no one has replied for long time.
I reproduced the workaround. please try. (not tested well :p)
I also added a very simple test in tests/ directory.

thank you, that's great! the test worked fine, after I included barnes-hut.js. I will further test it with my own project and report back. I took a quick look at the changes but couldn't really figure out why this works. I saw that the nodes' getters and setters are now defined in the addNode function and that their prototype is no longer used for that. But what went wrong before?

Ok, I have created a testpage for my own project: http://christianvoigt.github.io/ArgunetBrowser/multiple-instances.html

So far everything seems to work. I have merged your fork with mine because I had to make some changes to arbor before. Thanks again @joniburn for your work!

But what went wrong before?

The problem was that Nodes' prototype (i.e. class definition) have been globally overwritten at creation of ParticleSystem.
So, all physical events are sent to second ParticleSystem.

Thank you guys, you really helped reducing the headache I had because of this problem.
