Title: Particle System!
Post by: DarkRoku12 on June 13, 2015, 08:50:26 pm

This is a particle system written in pure c++/sfml by me.
It'll be used on my lua game engine. (Will have 2 particle system, the two have "physics" but the first won't interact will Box2D/LiquidFun objects, and the second will).

Particles can have a lot of behaviors by setting severals params.
About the perfomace can move 4000 particles with a framerate at 2,250+ fps ; 

If someone are interested on the source code can contact me, you can use my particle system in yours games too.

I'll append some images link. Jope you like it.

Images look nice enough, but why would I use this instead of Thor Particles? :

Honest question. I'm currently using Thor's particle module and it works well - why would I want to switch?

I made it not for replace thor´s particles engine.  Its just another option. And, i have no images/videos for thor´s particles so i actually can´t comparate it, but comming by Nexus (bromeon) i imagine that is a great quality particles engine.

The main purpose of its creations it´s only use it in my game engine. If other(s) wants to use it great.

I was just wondering.
If it provides no advantages over Thor Particles, then why reinvent the wheel instead of just using what is already available?

As same i said before, i can´t compare, i haven´t used/saw Thor´s particles.
As far as i know there is no images/videos of Thor. If someone show me examples... ::)

I don't want to discuss more about reinventing the wheel/ thor particles vs my particles etc...

I only want yo show this, and know the community's reviews ( is bad/good ,what need what left etc) about what I did.
