Spent some time this evening working on some code for my game/engine.

Got some nice particle and quadtree stuff coded!

Particles w00t :D

It doesn't currently kill particles that come to a stop and it might crash randomly...lol

The particle scene is setup like this:

'create particle container
particles = Skn3EntityParticles.Create("particles_1", 5000)
particles.debug = True
layer.AddChild(particles)

'create particle group
particleGroup = particles.AddGroup(0, 0, scene.width, scene.height)

'add forces to the group
particleGroup.AddForce(Skn3ParticleForceConstant.Create(0, 200))

'add zones to the group
particleGroup.AddZone("stay_in", 50, 50, scene.width - 100, scene.height - 100, False)

'add solids to the group
particleGroup.AddSolidRect(70, 10, 16, 500)
particleGroup.AddSolidRect(80, 80, 50, 50)
particleGroup.AddSolidRect(90, 100, 30, 70)
particleGroup.AddSolidPoly([100.0, 100.0, 500.0, 80.0, 300.0, 200.0, 400.0, 400.0, 350.0, 500.0, 200.0, 550.0])
particleGroup.AddSolidPoly([500.0, 400.0, 500.0, 300.0, 600.0, 500.0])

And particles are currently added using:

AddParticle:Int(style:Int, group:Skn3ParticleGroup, mass:Float, x:Float, y:float, rotation:Float, scaleX:Float, scaleY:Float, velocityX:Float, velocityY:Float, r:Int, g:Int, b:Int, alpha:float)

I will eventually add some kind of particleBlueprint that lets me specify various animation aspects for a particle such as scale, rotation, color, fade, etc

Anyway thought it was a cool toy to play with so posted it.

As you noted it did freeze my chrome a few times, but I like the bouncy-ness of the partials. Some one needs to make an angle-grinder game.
