Blow dandelion seeds away so light ones drift and heavy ones fall

A tap on a dandelion should send seeds floating off with the breeze. The easy way to make them follow the wind gives different flight paths on a fast phone and a slow one, and every seed ends up in the same place. Here is a way to get one path per seed that is the same everywhere and still varied.

Why this works

Air drags a seed toward its own speed, and a light seed catches up fast while a heavy one holds its push for long. Because that pull has an exact answer, a seed's place at any moment is known directly, whatever the frame pace.

When not to use it

Skip it when the wind keeps changing, or when the seeds must bump into things like walls or the player. Step them frame by frame there, since a single formula can't know about the obstacles.
