That was the first custom graphics card I ever bought and installed myself. That card is older than old!

I like this tool. Good work.

EDIT: Disregard these questions. Thanks.
Can I download the .png files anywhere? I want the PS to look like it did when I was editing it. Also, I was wondering if your code to use the PS is the same as mine?
In love.load():
ps = love.graphics.newParticleSystem( fire, 5 )
ps:start()
In love.update(): ps:update(dt)
In love.draw(): love.graphics.draw( ps, 800,200)

It looks excellent! This is the sort of actually useful program I never end up writing. :awesome:

It's a little flaky in some places, apparently... sometimes it seemed to randomly stop making particles and not start again, but I couldn't manage to make this happen reliably.

Still. Very useful! What GUI library did you use for the interface, if any?

Same here! I actually bought it out of a magazine. That thing lived to run Halflife 2 even.

Finally I can run it! It's very nice, but the radiant and tangent accelerations change too much, too easily
lf = love.filesystem
ls = love.sound
la = love.audio
lp = love.physics
lt = love.thread
li = love.image
lg = love.graphics

Thanks, I like it, I used it when I needed a PS and it sure saved me a lot of time. In the next versions, I think it's important to have an option to load a previously saved PS, so that I can tune it later.

Wow, I missed that!
For a first project, that is quite awesome.
The GUI is neat, by the way!

Brilliant. Incredibly useful for development and reference.

My only gripe is that the text is a little small (though I do understand that the emphasis should be on the particles and info).
Do you recognise when the world won't stop for you? Or when the days don't care what you've got to do? When the weight's too tough to lift up, what do you? Don't let them choose for you, that's on you.
