             xmlns:forms="clr-namespace:Particle.Forms;assembly=Particle.Forms"
             x:Class="Particle.Forms.Sample.Demo2.Demo2"
             Title="Custom Particles">
    <ContentPage.Resources>
        <x:Array Type="{x:Type Color}" x:Key="ConfettiColors">

    <Grid VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand"
          BackgroundColor="White"
          Margin="0 ,0, 0, 5">


        <forms:ParticleView x:Name="MyParticleCanvas"
                            IsActive="True"
                            IsRunning="True"
                            HasFallingParticles="True"
                            FallingParticlesPerSecond="20"
                            Margin="0, 20"
                            VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand"
                            HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"
                            ParticleColors="{StaticResource ConfettiColors}" />
    </Grid>

Tip

To conserver resources you can pause the particles when the Page is about to disappear and resume when the Page is about to appear.

        protected override void OnAppearing()
        {
            base.OnAppearing();

            MyParticleCanvas.IsRunning = true;
        }

        protected override void OnDisappearing()
        {
            base.OnDisappearing();

            MyParticleCanvas.IsRunning = false;
        }
