Some Stock Particle Emitters and Decorators

[reddenx]

Decorators

• [x] "inflator" Can Grow or shrink(start/end size), start delay, time it takes to get from start to end size, be sure to use the origin as the expansion point
  • [x] expand from center... it's not working right now
• [x] "spinner" spins
• [x] "fader" fades between 2 given alpha values, start delay, time from start to end

Emitters

• [ ] beam Has a circle on each end with a line in between
• [ ] "explosion" big fast expanding flash with some smoke that fades
• [ ] "spinning dust" poof that expands while spinning and moving slowly

Misc

• [ ] refactor effect application: at the time of effect application, have both parties full game objects available for the effect to take advantage of (note: leave room for subclass sandbox pattern eventually)

Edit: removed spin jitter, wasn't necessary

particle sandbox tool. Seriously, how cool would it be to have a little tool where you can change parameters with sliders, click on and off the various decorators, and craft sweet new emitters. *Note! Not as trivial as it sounds, there are a few gotchas.

edit: moved to another issue -SM

[reddenx]

actually I might have one already built we could repurpose for our game, at least the environment to run it in

BTW, did you notice the dust could when an arrow tower misses its mark?

claimed (the particle and emitters part)

Moved editor to own issue

eh we really only needed the decorators to continue development
