Hey everyone! New here =]

I was playing around with LOVE while traveling and didn't really see much regarding flipbook/texture animation particles. So I built the attached! I'm also new to Lua and wasn't quite sure how to make my flipbook class modular. (if class is a proper term for it).

If you guys have any suggestions or resources I should look at, let me know! I specialize in FX and Tech Art in my actual work. Mostly playing with LOVE on my free time as a hobby!

Hi and welcome to the forums.
Throw in some additive blending for an ultimate effect:

Code: Select all

function love.draw(dt)
    love.graphics.setBlendMode("additive")
    love.graphics.draw(particleSystem, love.graphics.getWidth()/2, love.graphics.getHeight()/2, 0, 0.25, 0.25)
end

So THAT'S where blend modes are hiding. And here I thought I was going to have to write up a shader. Awesome! Do you guys think it would be beneficial to the community if I wrote some particle effects oriented tutorials as I figure out things?
