Particle editor

[Nate]

The Skorpios project now has the latest code for my particle editor. Here is a JWS:

A screenshot (click for full res):



You can also see some particle effects in action in my Dragon game preview.

The emitters are saved to a text file that should be easy for any language to parse. Since this is meant to run on Android, I tried to make the particle manipulation reasonably efficient. The rendering of the emitters is specific to Skorpios (works on desktop via LWJGL and also on Android), but could easily be made to work with libgdx, just LWJGL, could be integrated with Slick, ported to JOGL, or whatever. If people get interested this could become its own project, or get merged with other projects.

I don't know if I should've activated it (I couldn't find a switch..) but the graphical example of the effect is not showing for me.

Necro'ing this super popular topic to note the editor has been moved to libgdx (long time ago). This old blog post has "docs":

You get to hear my sexy voice and a bunch of "uhh uhh".

Just added one smoke and two explosion emitters to my game.
Very nice effects and easy to tweak as well with the editor.

Is this tool still downloadable? It seems to be very usefull, but there is no way to download it following given link (even when you log in it says "You don't have permission to access /svn/jws/particleEditor.jnlp on this server.").

It is part of libgdx. It is in gdx-tools.jar or can be run from JWS or source.
