I am really getting in to using particles and just wanted to see the different types of effects that other people had come up with and, uhm, maby, ohh, learn from them! ouch. I can't believe I just typed that. anyway just post your code and, if you can, an image, and share your creation with the world!

There is a program that someone made that does just this. Its basically a gui for making DBPro particle effects. Try looking at that

Current Project: Interactive DBPro Showcase Example
Project Status: Game Engine 90%

I believe Puffy also made a particle editor. Any kind of editor you can think of has been made multiple times already

Its not a bug, its a feature!

sorry, it's been a while since I had access to the enternet. I have, however been working on a particle editor. here is the code. It started out as something else so the code is a little funny.

I'll post the images whenever I can.

and here are the three images for that particle editor. just right click them, and save them in the same folder as the editor.

if they don't load corectly, go to this websitehttp://www.geocities.com/fearik/fireworks.htm
if all else fails, just make your own dang images. once you load them, you will have to change the 4 .bmp image names to .gif. I had forgotten about the whole, internet gif format. oh, and any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm in the process (slow process I might add ) of making a particle editor using DBPro objects. This means much more control over the objects, although it uses a different movement system to the DBPro effects.

Trying is the first step towards faliure.
