Introduction

Create particle effects and weapon effects. The code has to be modular, so we can attach them to weapons and other elements, change their size and lifetime.

Goal

Ideas what we need:

• steam
• smoke
• explosions
• fire
• sparks
• …

and for weapons:

• muzzle flash
• smoke trails
• burst
• splinters
• …

Implementation

Play with the particle engine, create transparent textures and put them together to create realistic looking particle effects. Look at real photos and videos to get some inspiration.
