My 2d particle library! Updated

Joakim Christiansen · Post by **Joakim Christiansen** » Sat Feb 18, 2006 1:45 am

A very fast particle library which you can use to create nice effects!
A fireworks example is included, press mousebuttons to test it!
Download

EDIT: New version, with much faster right click rockets!
If you like it feel free to click the paypal button on my webpage!

BTW:
And if you're going to use it as a includefile in your project, then you must declare both #ScreenWidth and #ScreenHeight first since it use those constants.

Removed code from forum, since the forum made a mess of it...

I think you have to explicitly enable inline assembler in File/Preferences, Editor/Defaults, third item (checked).

Then it should work.

I got this with and without Inline Assembler.

Just tested this on PB4, beta 3 and it works quite well. Didn't have ASM turned on at all.

Must say that it would look good as a screensaver.

I would like to see a self running program with random rockets and streams.

Looking good.

Doesn't work here. Inline Asm enabled or not. Just blank screen with fps continuous updates in top left corner.

Did you read this? "Press left or rigth mousebutton to send up rockets! "

It doesn't work with my PB. (PB 4.00 BETA 3)

Syntax Error on line 88

Beta 3 and working fine here too.

Nice work.

It was made with beta 3 and should work nice, don't know why someone got syntax errors...

@Joakim Christiansen:
Very nice effect! Works fine here on my system with PB4 beta3 !!! no problems and no source changing required!

The effects runs here at 100 fps/s.... even when i hold down the left mouse button i get arroung 50.000-52.000 particels and they are moving still at 50 fps/sec...

i like the effect! Great work!

Works here, too, even with Inline turned off.

I'm embarrassed to say, though, that my $25 32MB video card chugs along at 4fps if I hold both buttons for ten seconds or so... I know, time for an upgrade

It's a good card for game development, though, because it forces me to think optimally (literally)!

Hehe, you should get yourself a new card indeed.
But my code is also a little slow when there is much particles on the screen and the right mousebutton rocket explodes, it's weird...

And yeah, it's smart to do game developing on a old/slow machine!

@joakim christiansen: Thanks for all the work you did on this, it's beautiful. I tried it a couple days ago but didn't realize I had to press mouse buttons to see anything

Super job!
