Animated futuristic line effects
[heading: "Description"]Spawns animated glowing lines that drift horizontally across the screen for a sci-fi ambience. Each line moves in straight or angled bursts, traces a fading tail and fades out when it leaves the viewport. Density, speed, tail length, colors and alpha can be tuned at runtime.
