Flint particles

Flint is an open-source project to create a versatile particle system in Actionscript 3. The aim is to create a library that handles the common functionality for all particle systems, has methods for common particle behaviours, and lets developers extend it easily with their own custom behaviours ...

pulse-particle

The pulse-particle system allows Flash developers to quickly and easily set up a wide range of particle effects. There are two ways of using the system, through an object orientated API that gives full control over the system, or through a simplified object syntax. See ...

stardust-particle-engine

Stardust is now version 1.1 BetaYou can grab the latest revision from the SVN repository using TortoiseSVN.Read the manual first. You'll have a far better understanding of the API.A playlist of video tutorials is also available.You can support this project by donating. If you've made ...

TortoiseSVN TutorialDownloadsManual (PDF)Video TutorialsActiveTuts+ Tutorials DocumentationFlashDevelop TemplatesBlogForumFacebook Group Update Feed (Atom)Downloads Feed (Atom)Issues Feed (Atom) The core class structure was inspired by Flint Particle System. The particle masking feature was inspired by Box2D Physics Engine. The gravity field, deflector, and action trigger class structure was inherited from Emitter, my previous particle engine project. Stardust FeaturesSupports 2D and 3D particle effects. Easy to extend for custom initializers, actions, fields, deflectors, clocks, and 2D/3D renderers. Includes 3D extensions for ZedBox, Papervision3D, and ND3D. Includes a native 3D renderer. Supports particle masking (particles can be affected by selected actions). Uses linked lists and object pools to improve performance. Gravity and deflector simulation. Action triggers (for creating complex conditional particle behaviors). XML serialization. ExamplesMore examples and their source files can be found here. You can download all the latest example source files using TortoiseSVN. (Note that you'll also need the Stardust source files to compile the examples) Click the icons below to view examples online. [Less]
