When the particle pool is full, drop the piece nobody will miss

Phones can only draw so many sparkles. When the limit is reached, the usual quick fixes either ignore the new effect or overwrite the oldest piece, and both make visible holes: a tap that does nothing, or a long smoke puff that suddenly vanishes. Here is a better rule for who has to leave.

Why this works

When room runs out, remove what the player will miss least, which is the piece that has almost faded already. Dropping the oldest would kill a long-lived puff while it is still in full view.

When not to use it

Don't use it when a piece carries meaning, such as a clue, a pickup or a trail the player follows. Those need a place of their own that is never emptied by the effect budget.
