How do I convert a particle set to a mesh surface? It feels like a water surface like the cover?

Hi Shompinice,
You can use Dendro plugin(Point to Volume component) to convert point cloud to mesh

How to convert the trajectory of particles in this tutorial (https://parametrichouse.com/particle-fountain/#) into curves?
I tried to use the method in this tutorial (https://parametrichouse.com/wandering-point-attractor/), as shown in the document, I have obtained the “point set (although the position is not correct)”, but I cannot pass them to use “interpolated point battery” to convert to curve.
Another idea might be

https://parametrichouse.com/swarm-noise/
but honestly I didn’t understand it. It seems that a loop is needed? But why is a loop needed? English is not my native language, so it seems a bit strenuous.

Particle simulation is a vast field in Computer graphic.
If you want to learn how those these components I suggest you to read this book : Nature of code
I also send you another massage which contains a gh file which I create a continuous polyline from the particles.

Dear Shompinice
I’ve made some few changes in the file and I’ve attached it here.
You can use Fatten , Pipe or even Dendro plugin to thicken the generated polyline
