Particle Frenzy

A simple 2D particle system in Rust using gfx. Particles are created with some initial state and then handed over to the GPU.

• Advantage: Particle movement is performed on the GPU, so buffers don't need to be modified for updating the state.
• Disadvantage: Dynamic particle state needs to be parameterized by time.

Parts of the code, especially the shaders, are based on gfx's particle example.

Status

Consider this a proof of concept. Currently, only circular particles are possible.

Example

See examples/ggez.rs for an example of using this crate in combination with ggez:

cargo run -j4 --release --example ggez

In this example, 2000 particles are spawned whenever the mouse is moved.
