LinearParticle - Particle Engine

[galaxist]

I've developed a small particle library for Clanlib which is called LinearParticle. The library is aimed to easy be used. LinearParticle is distributed under zlib/libpng license.

The latest version is LinearParticle 0.50. Callback function has been added so that users can have own collision detections or other reaction behaviors for particles. Check with the examples for further details.

Mighty nice! Will have to look into using this one day

Since this is a showcase thread, I'm adding a link to one of your screenshots:

Thanks Sphair. I'm currently using this lib for particle effects in one of my projects, I'll be happy if you find it useful .

Looks really nice! Have you made any benchmarks for it?

Looks excellent, I hope to add it to one of my projects soon. Added to the CL Links page.

Unfortunately, I do not have any comparable benchmark result, but the result from some testings shows that the version 0.45 is faster than version 0.40, that is only what I know .

Looks excellent, I hope to add it to one of my projects soon. Added to the CL Links page.

Thanks for adding the link.

I've recently been testing this in my game project and it works great - but a few questions.. why include custom color and vector formats?

It's causing me some pain when binding things to my scripting system with luabind..

Hello, thanks for trying . The reason of using custom color and 2D vector classes is mainly to reduce functions calls (getting required data by directly accessing public variables instead of calling functions).

will this work with ClanLib 0.9?

Wow, this is amazing!

I found the LinearParticle make the PC breakdown on some old machine,I mean some PC which older,System Config bad machine dosen't run LinearParticle,and will make PC die.
Maybe I use the wrong parameters,I sometimes use negative LinearParticle parameters.
Somebody could tell me why?Thanks in advance.

If a ClanLib program makes a PC die, it either has faulty drivers or faulty hardware.
