Goals

• Achieving a good system to save and load particle effects
• Making some effects, which look good without too much effort for the engine
• If possible implementing parameters for the effects

---

Using Ogre

Ogre is already assisting with its own Particle classes. It's supporting some easy way to add particle effects in saving them in .particle files. After loading them into a Particle System, they can be attached to a Scene Node like a mesh. For creating the .particle files I use the Addon Particle Editor.

Ideas

• jet of the ship's engine
• explosion of a destroyed player
• the shooting of the different weapons
• fire or smoke on a damaged player

Parameter

If it's possible to implement parameter, what, for example, it could be used for:

• Turn down the engine: a lower output
• Change the frequenz, the color or the range of a weapon
