Tutorials for particle system?

[Draetheus]

1st off, I would like how awesome and easy LOVE is. The last time I remember programming being this easy was when I used to write games in TI-BASIC for my TI-83!

I've already done a few basic tuorials involving moving images around on the screen and capturing keyboard input. I would like to try adding particle effects, however I don't see any tutorials for the particle system on the wiki.

Links? Or perphaps I didn't dig deep enough into the wiki?

You could take a look at http://love2d.org/wiki/ParticleSystem if you haven't already. It's not a tutorial, but it could be useful.

I never used PSs myself, but I imagine it would be something like:

Code: Select all

function love.load()
    ps = love.graphics.newParticleSystem("image.png", some_number)
end

function love.update(dt)
    ps:update(dt)
end

function love.draw()
 love.graphics.draw(ps, 100, 100)
end

Check the examples.love file for a great example on how to use ParticleSystems.

I actually don't see any part of examples.love that uses the particle system.

My bad. It's among the demos: http://bitbucket.org/rude/love/downloads/demos.zip
