I had an array of enemies that would walk across the screen with a life count down and then delete themselves when their life=0, but the way I was doing it was adding their indexes to a local "to-delete" array and then deleting them after the for loop. So your method of deleting particles here mightve ended up helping me save a few tokens haha

Big thanks for you! Following your video I was able to put together a particle system in pico-8 that I'm satisfied with (It is still a bit cumbersome to create the actual effects, but I'm getting there). And indeed, now I love particles.

Glad it helped!

You are so underrated bro, thx

[@TroubledKarma56]

Thanks for the video as always m8!

[@humanmerelybeing1966]

How do you control spawn rate, so a particle doesn’t spawn every frame but every 2 or 3?

[@nulldivided]

lol he said "ooooh baby", great work

[@Mob-Inc]

Wait a second, so i can use particles as for like maybe the thrusters on plane or space ship? Or even like lasers? It seems way more fluid and dyamnic than making a few crappy sprites with a 2-3 frame animation...

[@Mob-Inc]

So my other question is then why would anyone animate a fire sprite when you can just use particles?

[@abandonedcranium6592]

I don't think I heard you mention making the particles grey to create smoke. I can see a chimney 🤔

[@alexdelis3982]
