Refactors randomizations of color sequences and optimizes particle systems...

Refactors randomizations of color sequences and optimizes particle systems (uses single Paint instance, doesn't compute accelerations unless used, reduces number of created objects, faster color calculations)
Fixes indentation
Optimizes lookup in fast version of atan2 (toInt is faster than floor)
Removes frame rate printout and adds assert
