| What Is A Particle Engine? -------------------------- My understanding is a sequence of code which creates a generic system of sprites/similar that are created, move in a defined pattern and are recycled or are deleted at the end of their cycle. They can be used to represent flames, waterfalls, magic spells, special light effects, explosions, smoke - you name it! Just define the colours etc of the individual particles, and the paths that they need to follow and set 'em off! ------------------------------- If the above i correct, then I have been assuming correctly so far :) Also, I have devised my first-ever particle system (YAY!) Which puts an engine trail on the back of a spaceship. The more thrust-the brighter the trail, and when the particles (sprites in this case) have faded completely, they are deleted so as not to waste memory. If I can re-extract it from my game, I will stick it into code archives for general usage! |
