Hi guys, Are there any good tutorials on particle effects ? I made my own little system where I make a random number of particles (from 6-10) then give them random directions then have them use different bitmaps as they travel and fade away. Is that the basic idea ? It looks pretty cool but I''d probably be better off reading some tutorials. Thanks.
