The wiki is not a tutorial...
and the demo of particle system doesn't speak to me...
so can someone give me a explanation of a ParticleSystem and the functions to me, and give an example of how to create one? Also, examples of each individual code would be nice . If someone would be nice enough to help me, I'd give them a free cookie!

Re: Particle System Explanation needed
Take another look at the particlesystem demo. That really is the only guide right now, as far as I know.
Re: Particle System Explanation needed
Alright. As soon as I understand, it is my mission to add a tutorial!

Trial and error based on the wiki works too.
My game called Hat Cat and the Obvious Crimes Against the Fundamental Laws of Physics is out now!

Hi LuaWeaver,
Please take a look at the attached *.love file and follow the comments on the essential functions for a basic ParticleSystem. I hope they could shed some light on this topic.

Aargh, I am wasting my posts! My citizenshiiiip...
Re: Particle System Explanation needed
Thanks for the file! I was quite scared of so many parameters and functions but it is quite simple! It's just that the wiki page scares a little EDIT: I'm not LuaWeaver but I was interested xD
Anyway I made a little "proof of concept" of being inside a bloodstream based on your file. I love how it looks, it's just like the perfect background. And it doesn't use many resources, I didn't even feel a performance drop.
So... yeah, don't be afraid to use ParticleSystems! They're cool!

Another important reference is Mud's Particle Editor:
http://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2110
It will allow you to quickly test parameter changes on particle systems.

When I write def I mean function.
Re: Particle System Explanation needed
I've been screwing with the particle system and I'm using it in one of my projects right now. I'm thinking I'll be putting a Particle tutorial up on the wiki since a lot of people are having the same issue.LuaWeaver wrote:The wiki is not a tutorial...
