Description

A particle system which allows to draw several identical dots or bitmaps, with varying colour and orientation.

Example

-- gideros particles
local particleGFX = Texture.new("gfx/yourgfx.png")
local stars = Particles.new()
stars:setTexture(particleGFX)
stage:addChild(stars)

-- GAME LOOP
function onEnterFrame(e)
	if (e.time // 1) % 4 == 0 then
		stars:addParticles({
			{
				x=math.random(480),y=math.random(320),
				size=32,angle=math.random(360),
				color=0xff00ff,alpha=0.8,
				ttl=16*2,
				speedX=0.01,speedY=0.01,speedAngular=0.15,
				speedGrowth=0.9,
			},
			{
				x=math.random(480),y=math.random(320),
				size=16,angle=math.random(360),
				color=0x00ffff,alpha=0.8,
				ttl=16*16,
				speedX=0.02,speedY=0.02,speedAngular=0.2,
				speedGrowth=-0.1,
			},
		})
	end
end

stage:addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame)

Methods

Particles.new creates new particles group
Particles:addParticles adds particles
Particles:clearTexture clears texture for all particles
Particles:getNearestParticle gets the index of the nearest particle to the given point
Particles:getParticleAngle gets particle angle
Particles:getParticleColor gets particle color and alpha value
Particles:getParticleDecay gets particle decay factor
Particles:getParticlePosition gets particle position
Particles:getParticleSize gets particle size in pixels
Particles:getParticleSpeed gets particle speed
Particles:getParticleTag gets particle associated tag
Particles:getParticleTtl gets particle initial time to live
Particles:getParticles gets particles
Particles:isPaused tells if the Particle set is paused
Particles:removeParticles removes particles by index in table or as arguments
Particles:scaleParticles scales or resizes all particles in this sprite
Particles:setParticleAngle sets particle angle
Particles:setParticleColor sets particle color
Particles:setParticleDecay sets particle decay factor
Particles:setParticlePosition sets particle position
Particles:setParticleSize sets particle size
Particles:setParticleSpeed sets particle speed
Particles:setParticleTag sets particle tag
Particles:setParticleTtl sets particle time to live
Particles:setPaused pauses or resumes the Particle set
