Here's a short video of a project I've been working on...

AGK Particle Sandbox!

All the features you know and love from the original Particle Sandbox, plus a whole lot more!

You can swoosh particle emitters around the screen with your mouse!

You can have up to 9 emitters on the screen at the same time!

You can import your own graphics to use as particle images! Up to 100 different particle images!

You can import your own graphics to use as backdrops! Up to 100 different backdrop images!

Randomizing particle properties = endless fun for the whole family!

Save and load particles sets! Trade them with your fellow game designers!

When you've got your particles just the way you want them, export the code you need to add those exact same particles to your AppGameKit game!

COMING SOON TO A COMPUTER NEAR YOU!

The is the BEST thing that happened since the release of AppGameKit!

I would suggest, that apart from the code export function, you put in loading/saving of particle settings, so people can swap particle effects, and even build particle libraries!

REALLY LOOKING FORWARD to the release of this GREAT tool!

Yes, that's my plan, I just forgot to list it in the first post.

As far as Tier 2, that may have to wait until I learn it!

Oh, and thanks for the response!

and most probably you will have to put an f after all float numbers.

So:

CreateParticles(1, 150, 200)

would become:

agk::CreateParticles(1, 150.0f, 200.0f);

This will significantly increase performance and simplify creation of focusing effects for games, even likely better view of games.

I look forward to.

Great job, Rich! Looking forward to it!

Any plans on adding Box2D physics to the particles?

Hey guys, thanks for all the kind words!

Steve O - Does Box2D have any effect on particles? I thought it was just for sprites, although I haven't looked at it yet, for AGK.

Ah you're right, i don't think they will have any effect on particles. That would mean you would have to code the physics yourself, but i guess there are plenty examples on the net on how to accomplish certain particle physics.
