Discussion for Tutorial 8 - Particle Emitter

[mrspeaker]

Hey chaps - I love these tutorials... they've made me consider getting out of web dev and into game dev!

Annnyhoo, I just though I'd show you this lil' project: I took the particle emitter code and ported it to JavaScript (rendering on canvas). The results were much better than I expected: http://www.mrspeaker.net/dev/parcycle

There's a "write up" on it here (with some 71squared credit http://www.mrspeaker.net/2009/12/03/particle-system-with-html5-canvas/

Thanks again, and keep up the good work!

That is really cool. Especially to see it running in a web page

Are there any tips for making the textures? I've created several images in Photoshop and dragged them into the Particle Texture section of the Emitter Config. When previewing, the particles look aliased with a poor resolution. Any advice is appreciated.
