Guide to Particles

zz85's Guide to Particles

(Leaving this unfinished article here so I'll have to something write when I have the inspiration).

What are particles? -small, tiny module like object, perhaps many, with some physical properties. they may move around, and create nice looking visual effects as well.

What's are particle systems?

• It could be a engine or codes that simulate the physical behavior of these particles.

Some stuff each particle may have

• position
• velocity
• color
• size
• life

Particles are borned/created into the particle world via particle emitters. As particles life age, they may dim in its size, color and even velocity. When the particles leave the screen or die, they can be resued again and being re-spawned into the scene.
