The easiest thing to do is to write a series of VTK files. For example, they would be named particles0.vtk, particles1.vtk etc. Each file would be something like the example below. If you do this, you can open the file series (which would show up as a group in the file browser) and press play to animate. The full documentation for the VTK file format is at http://vtk.org/VTK/img/file-formats.pdf
