Particles

Particle effects are simple to create in Gadget2D using sprites. The simple effect below was created based on the animating explosion from previous examples. Here the explosions are moving and animating. Render mode 3 (additive transparency) is used to blend the particles together. When the left mouse button is down, particles are created and assigned a somewhat random velocity so that they move up the screen while fanning out.

The particles each start at the mouse position. Pressing the right mouse button releases a bust of 36 particles at once that spread out to form a circle.
