Particle Emitters

[Syncaidius]

• [ ] Add ParticleEmitterComponent
  • [ ] Support for point-based particles. SpriteBatcher already uses point-based rendering
  • [ ] Support for mesh-based particles using hardware instancing
  • [ ] Support for GPU-based particle emitters
• [ ] Add ParticleEffectorComponent - Affects how particles behave for any emitters on the same parent object
  • [ ] ParticleGravityEffector - Applies a force to particles in one direction only
  • [ ] ParticleWindEffector - Applies wind-like currents to particles
  • [ ] ParticleSphereEffector - Applies a spherical force to particles. A negative force will repulse particles
• [ ] Add ParticleColliderComponent - Provides collision/bounds for particles. Available options are:
  • Shape - The shape or mesh that will provide collision
  • Mode - Available modes are:
    • Collider - Acts as an obstacle for particles
    • Container - Acts as a container for particles. Any particles inside the collider will be contained inside the shape/mesh
