After some sudden interest around my old particle generator experiment, I decided to update the code and add in a few more features.
To play with the update, follow me…
Instructions
- Click and drag to create particles. The angle and speed of the particles depend on how you move the mouse.
- Press SPACE to change particle types.
It’s quite interesting seeing the performance issues that arise when more complicated particle movieclips are used. As soon as I get into ActionScript 3, I’ll recreate this to see how much more we can get away with.
