To save you a click: “ However, the particles in Braid don't affect gameplay in any way;
they're just cosmetic. ” so he used deterministic functions.
So pretty much exactly what you would expect someone to do.

As the same time, to be fair, plenty of people do not realize closed form formulas are the best approach here. I'd say that requires a level of intuition for the physics and maths involved that is not strictly necessary to make functioning particles the "regular" way.
Anyway, to switch the topic to something more fun: do you think one could make Age of Empires 1 and 2 perfectly rewindable?

But it was not immediately obvious to me from the title.
