Hi, I am particularly looking for help on the implementing of a system similar to a particle system. Particularly I do not know exactly how to start with the implementing of emitters and affectors. I also want to implement a way to use animations within the article system as a part of the effects of the creation and deletion of particles.
I understand well enough how particle systems work, however I do not really know how to implement emitters and affectors to work well with the timing to keep the emission rate consistent regardless of the framerate. I know that the Thor Library has a very good implementation of one, however I am reinventing the wheel with learning purposes and I will use the code I develop to implement other things that the Thor Particle system does not allow me to do.
Thanks in advance.

If you need an example just look at the source code of Thor.
For the theoretical part behind it, I'm sure 5min googling will reveal enough information. ;)

I was doing that, however the code in Thor confused me because of some things that I wasn't used to seeing very much. But after grinding on particular parts of C++ that I was still unfamiliar with I got most of it. I'll use this thread though once I am debugging the particle system.
