What is this called?
« on: February 18, 2013, 04:56:12 pm »
So I am making a particle engine for my game.. all is going fine.

I was looking at some video's for ideas and saw this one



Notice how the particles have a 'glow' about them.. what is this called in OpenGL? Is it possible with SFML or will I have to start doing raw OpenGL code?

Thanks !
Trying so very hard to finish at-least one project.

Watch out for the RAII police, they will get you.
