' 2023-07-16 rename to Bolt from Bloom and comment better and make more generic
' 2023-07-17 Bolts 2: move the bolt down the BoltLine by speed like a bullet.
' 2023-07-18 Bolts 2 tweaks: tweak numbers for more transparency and then more solid little rays.
' But Mark how do we detect hits from lasers, OK added x, y, r to track the current location
' and radius of the laser bolt.
' BoltLine: Imagine a line with a thickness at one end and a different thickness at then other.
' Colored like I imagine a Laser beam yellowish white core with bluish tinge around the edges.
' Now draw sections of that BoltLine according to the frames of display in main loop.
' This is a demo of that!
