Snow effect not paused while window is minimized

[LiteralGenie]

Describe the bug
Snow effect becomes snowstorm when alt-tabbing away and back.

Additional context
vscode seems to pause timers (setInterval(), requestAnimationFrame()) whenever the window is hidden, so updates to pet movement, ball physics, etc are also paused.
However SnowEffect additionally relies on a timeDelta: number to update particle position, so when reopening the window, this delta gets huge and the particles' y-pos goes through the floor. That causes all the particles to respawn at once.

Capping the max delta like ball.ts does to something like 0.1s makes this less noticeable

Cool! I enjoyed the unintentional snowstorm effect but this is a better solution. Would you like to submit a PR?

PR: #690

But feel free to close it if the snowstorm version is preferred. It just caught my eye since I only use a single monitor and alt-tab a lot.
New winter theme looks great either way!

Yeah it does. Kiana Mosser was commissioned to design it especially for this extension. I worked on the snow effects to add a bit more depth. The brief was something like Donkey Kong Country series' snow levels
