BParticles

Small Customizable Particle System For Monogame

BParticles is a simple and expandable framework for using particles in Monogame.

THIS PROJECT IS STILL VERY EARLY AND SHOULD NOT BE USED IN ANY COMMERCIAL PROJECTS

Usage

Simply copy the BParticles folder into your own monogame project. You can also clone the "HelloWorldProject" branch and run it yourself in visual studio.

Once set up in your own project, creating a new particle system in BParticles can be done in as little as 4 lines of code.

1. Instantiate the new system (particleTexture can be any Texture2D)

_particleSystem = new ParticleSystem(particleTexture);

2. Update the system in the Update() method in your game

_particleSystem.Update(gameTime);

3. Render the system in the Draw() function

_spriteBatch.Begin();
_particleSystem.Draw(_spriteBatch);
_spriteBatch.End();

4. Play it from anywhere in your code!

_particleSystem.Play();

**Here is the code to set up an example particle system

_particleSystem = new ParticleSystem(particleTexture);
_particleSystem.AddSpawnModifier(RandomColor);
_particleSystem.AddSpawnModifier(x => x.Velocity = GetRandomVector(-50f,50));
_particleSystem.AddSpawnModifier(x => x.Lifespan = 1f);
_particleSystem.SystemPosition = _ScreenCenter;
_particleSystem.Play();

The package should be fully docstringed but full documentation is planned, feel free to use the issue board for any feature requests or if you find any issues
