Last one (probably):

If you set min (and max) velocity to 5 or more, particles go to the right only, and not up, down or left.

Can you fix that?

That's probably a side-effect of the speed limit that keeps hyperspace particles from materializing inside your base. I guess I'll just have it max starting velocity must be under 5, which is still a good speed considering the limit is 4 pixels per 1/30 of a second, or 120 pixels/second.

Hey guys, I would love to see some maps you can make using this plugin!

It would also spruce up colonial space a bit, since there seem to be too many achievement maps floating around recently.

How about emulating particle fleet ships?

I'm going to make a particle map soon! :) (I need to take a break from sleeper stuff :P ) http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=19605.msg137398#msg137398
CW4 hype!!

I have a suggestion for the particles! You should have an option on an emitter that decides if the particles can bounce off of walls and or certain terrain levels!

Waiting for the update to upload the map...

Any ideas for story?

It's story-telling. But the story for my next map should introduce the next game mechanic I'll add.

So... Who wants to guess the next (small-ish) game mechanic I've added to the particles?

Chance to win an appearance/easter egg reference in one of my maps!

Blue particles, and/or particle fields would be my guess.  :D

I said small, not huge... Just large enough to warrant a new map to introduce the mechanic.

Maybe ship to fight particles?

GameGibu

I have that planned for FAR future version, that'll take a lot of coding and that's a truly MASSIVE change in gameplay... So, no.

That's not to say you shouldn't look forward to that feature, but it's way off in the future...  ;)

Ships should appear in Particles V2.
That way, a lighter version of particles could be implemented. Ship control would have to use the focus transfer algorithm I have yet to translate to CRPL from my other applications.

The emitters can move?
