LÖVE

Anybody make a particle effects editor for Love? Nothing fancy, maybe just a few sliders do you can play with parameters in realtime.

If not, I guess I'm going to make one, in which case: is there a UI library with slider controls to give me a head start?

EDIT: Checking out Goo now.

Goo doesn't have sliders but they do have progress bars so you can easily go from there
Although I haven't played with progress bars yet

I made a crude particle editor last night, which suits my simple needs. Posting it in case somebody else comes along and searches for one like I did.

Usage:

• Mouse over parameters and adjust with mouse-wheel
• Keys 1-6 change the adjustment increment (1, 10, 100, 1000, 0.1, 0.01)
• Left mouse to move origin
• Restart button to restart particle system (or space bar, or right mouse)
• Save button writes settings to Lua file in app save directory (or s)

EDIT: I got sick of re-entering values. Now supports multiple save files, where filename=timestamp.

• Save button overwrites the current file. If no save file exists on startup, it will create one using default settings and set it to current.
• Copy button copies the current file and sets it as the current file.
• Revert button reloads current file, discarding any changes.
• Delete button nukes the current file (unless it's your last one).
• There's a widget for scrolling through available files.

[/color]Note: It will NOT warn you about lost changes if you click Delete or use the selection widget to switch files. I'm too lazy to make a confirmation dialog.



It has some included images. To use your own, drop them in the directory and edit particles.lua.

After playing with it for a bit, I realized you could do some crazy sh** with animated parameters. Someday.

Nice tool! Thanks!

Fun to mess around with.

Nice. Maybe we need a tools section the wiki?
