Detailed Description

Particle System base class.

Attributes of a Particle System:

  • emission rate of the particles
  • Gravity Mode (Mode A):
  • gravity
  • direction
  • speed +- variance
  • tangential acceleration +- variance
  • radial acceleration +- variance
  • Radius Mode (Mode B):
  • startRadius +- variance
  • endRadius +- variance
  • rotate +- variance
  • Properties common to all modes:
  • life +- life variance
  • start spin +- variance
  • end spin +- variance
  • start size +- variance
  • end size +- variance
  • start color +- variance
  • end color +- variance
  • life +- variance
  • blending function
  • texture

cocos2d also supports particles generated by Particle Designer (http://particledesigner.71squared.com/). 'Radius Mode' in Particle Designer uses a fixed emit rate of 30 hz. Since that can't be guaranteed in cocos2d, cocos2d uses a another approach, but the results are almost identical.

cocos2d supports all the variables used by Particle Designer plus a bit more:

  • spinning particles (supported when using ParticleSystemQuad)
  • tangential acceleration (Gravity mode)
  • radial acceleration (Gravity mode)
  • radius direction (Radius mode) (Particle Designer supports outwards to inwards direction only)

It is possible to customize any of the above mentioned properties in runtime. Example:

emitter.radialAccel = 15;
emitter.startSpin = 0;

Member Enumeration Documentation

anonymous enum
Enumerator
DURATION_INFINITY 

The Particle emitter lives forever.

START_SIZE_EQUAL_TO_END_SIZE 

The starting size of the particle is equal to the ending size.

START_RADIUS_EQUAL_TO_END_RADIUS 

The starting radius of the particle is equal to the ending radius.

enum Mode
strong

Enumerator
FREE 

Living particles are attached to the world and are unaffected by emitter repositioning.

RELATIVE 

Living particles are attached to the world but will follow the emitter repositioning.

Use case: Attach an emitter to an sprite, and you want that the emitter follows the sprite.

GROUPED 

Living particles are attached to the emitter and are translated along with it.
