Hay guys

This is my first post here so hello ^^

i learn c++ and allegro and i made two very simple games and i though SFML is better than allegro so let’s switch up

so my question is how can you make blood effect in a game ?
is it animation or is it a sprite sheet ?
i want to make very simple blood effect when a zombie get shot by a gun how can i make that ?

Thanks guys and sorry for the newbie question i'm a beginner ^^

Hi

in many game Blood( like explosion and many other effects) can be done by using "particle",
there is something on the wiki that may help you :
