Very simple particle designer for solar2D for personal use (you'd be brave otherwise)

Features:

  • Can create particle emitters and a settings window to adjust parameters
  • Particle parameters can be output to json (saved in documents folder on Win32) or to a text list to be copied and pasted straight into code and passed to an emitter
  • Loading emitter parameters in the same formats
  • Collapsable and closable settings windows
  • Spawn point can be moved with the mouse
Opportunities for improvement:
  • (!!!) Numpad support
  • (!) Background adjustment and support for static textures to be added to the scene
  • (!) Support for loading additional textures from a folder
  • (*) Color pickers and sliders
  • (*) Random generation of emitter parameters
  • (*) Moving emitters (point to point, radial, easing, etc...)
  • Parameter profiles / defaults
  • Timed spawning of emitters for finer control of duration

( ! = coming certainly, * = if I have the time to keep working on this or if people actually want to use it )

Install instructions

Unzip and run the executable on windows, particle json files are saved to a sub folder of the project name in the following directory!

Alternatively run in HTML5 and locate the json files yourself.
