A simplistic particle system wrapper that is designed to make creating particles fun and easy.

### Requirements

 - GameMaker Studio 2.3.3 or higher

### Quick Guide

 - Download **yymps** file found in the release tab

 - Import `obj_Particles` into your own project

 - Create an object for your new effect (example: rain)

 - Add a create event and here is some sample code

```

// create an instance of our particles

var effect = instance_create_depth(0, 0, depth, obj_Particles);

// change the emitter to go all across the top

effect.set_emitter_size(0, room_width + 128, 0, 0);

// change to line

effect.set_shape(pt_shape_line);

// set the origin to be pointing towards the direction

effect.set_orientation(0, 0);

// change the direction to the left

effect.set_direction(260);

// change the speed to a high valu

effect.set_speed(10, 20);

// mix the colors between white and grey for each particle

effect.set_color_mix(c_white, c_ltgray);

// change the alpha to 0.2

effect.set_alpha(0.2);

// set the life so the particles will go the entire room height

effect.set_life(room_height);

// change the size

effect.set_size(0.01, 0.5);

// stream 8 particles every tick (frame)

effect.stream(8);

```
