Flint Particle System version 1.0.3 released

7 Comments add your own

• Hey, I see in this latest release you’ve added keyboard events to control the particles. I’m looking for a library to help with starfield generation in a subspace-type game (i.e. the ship is stationary and movement is simulated by the starfield reacting to keyboard input). Is your particle system the right tool for me to look into?

  Oh, and as always, thanks for sharing your expertise free and open source.

• Yes, you could do this with Flint. If you get stuck, ask on the Flint website forum.

• ok great – thanks. I went ahead and posted there as I figured it was probably the right place to ask anyways.

• How to
  Using the examples in flex to generate swf?

  It is possible I put in mxml files?

  For now I just learned to work with mxml to generate swf

  Same this example, only 1 file is the *.

  was generated and the swf

• Based on the sample file FireAndSmoke.as

  I made the following

  But appears the following error

• Hi Marco

  The examples can be compiled in Flex as Actionscript only projects. Flint itself doesn’t have a Flex component so there’s no way to create a particle system using MXML. That doesn’t mean you can’t use Flint in a Flex project, just that you have to use Actionscript to create the particle system.

  At some point I will create a Flex component for rendering a Flint particle system, but there are currently other priorities that I’m working on (specifically the 3D version of Flint).

  If you have other questions about Flint, they’re more appropriate in the Flint forum at http://flintparticles.org/forum/.
