+
+### createParticleSystem(config: ParticleSystemConfig): ParticleSystem
+
+Creates a new particle system and registers it for global updates.
+
+```typescript
+import { createParticleSystem } from "@newkrok/three-particles";
+
+const system = createParticleSystem({
+  duration: 5,
+  looping: true,
+  maxParticles: 200,
+  startLifetime: 3,
+  startSpeed: 2,
+  startSize: 0.5,
+  emission: { rateOverTime: 30 },
+  shape: { shape: Shape.CONE, cone: { angle: 0.5, radius: 1 } },
+});
+
+scene.add(system.instance);
+```
+
+### updateParticleSystems(cycleData: CycleData): void
+
+Updates all registered particle systems. Call this in your animation loop.
+
+```typescript
+import { updateParticleSystems } from "@newkrok/three-particles";
+
+function animate() {
+  updateParticleSystems({
+    now: performance.now(),
+    delta: clock.getDelta(),

+- **Curve**: `BezierCurve | EasingCurve` — value based on system lifetime
+
+| Property | Default | Description |

+
+### startColor — MinMaxColor
+
+```typescript
+type MinMaxColor = {
+  min?: Rgb;  // { r?: number, g?: number, b?: number } — values 0.0 to 1.0
+  max?: Rgb;
+};
+
+// Example: random orange-to-yellow
+startColor: {
+  min: { r: 1.0, g: 0.3, b: 0.0 },

+
+---
+
+## Transform

+### Burst
+
+```typescript
+type Burst = {
+  time: number;                               // Trigger time in seconds
