here's my particle engine.... I wrote most of it during the summer, but decided to work on it again for some reason in the past couple days, so I made it better.... also, it's object oriented so it's pretty easy to use ... any way, here it is... oh yeah, in the demo program, the particle system moves towards the mouse cursor. when you click the mouse button, the system changes colour and size (well... particle life span) |

it's pretty nice... but it goes pretty slow when u change the number of particles to something like 1000 or 2000 |

I didn't go to the details in yer code... but i think u either have extra non necessary calculations... or yer updating the screen too often(doubt it)... |

I think I know what it probably is... it's probably that it's generating the gradient everytime a particle is reborn... I'll see about changing this tomorrow |

k, I changed that and it speeds it up a lot... just a bit more debugging to do to fix it up, but that I'll probably leave till tomorrow in case I get bored again lol |
