How can I create confetti falling?

[Emerson3]

Hey Clickteam,

I know how to do simple particle effects but I want something more cool and smooth, something I'm sure that will take math. Lol. I want to create the slow swaying motion of confetti falling. I want to use this explosion of awesomeness in my IOS game when a player completes a mission! Does anyone have or can make an example that would help me understand? Thanks Clickers!
