Latest Mechanics Update

I have two images of what I have been working on recently.

So after some experimenting with this trail effect, I was seeing it bog the system down. It's still playable but definitely notice some slow down. On the left picture, I am drawing cylinders which is overkill for what we are trying to do. On the right picture, I am drawing just one triangle for each frame but still noticed quite a bit of slow down after awhile. I noticed that it was drawing on both faces of the triangle so thats essentially drawing double than it should be drawing. Uhhh but yeah, is this essentially the effect were looking for?
