=========================

Improved particle system for the [Starling framework](https://github.com/PrimaryFeather/Starling-Framework)

Short overview and live demo: http://www.flintfabrik.de/blog/improved-particle-system-for-starling

Getting started: [Starling wiki page](http://wiki.starling-framework.org/extensions/ffparticlesystem)

## Overview

This is particle system is based on and compatible to the [original](https://github.com/PrimaryFeather/Starling-Extension-Particle-System) but provides some additional features and various performance improvements. Thanks a lot to [Colin Northway](http://colinnorthway.com/) ([Incredipede](http://www.incredipede.com/)) sponsoring this extension created for his upcoming game.

**Important:** I did anything to make the code as fast as possible but to get the best performance I strongly recommend using the [ASC 2.0 compiler](http://www.bytearray.org/?p=4789) and setting it up for [inline] functions.

####New Features:

  * particle pool

  * batching (less draw calls)

  * multi buffering (avoid stalling)

  * animated particles

  * random start frames

  * filter support

  * optional custom sorting, code and variables

  * calculating bounds (optional)

  * spawnTime, fadeIn/fadeOut

  * emit angle alligned particle rotation

  * various performance improvements

Additional information about the new features and the [live demo (~ 5 MB)](http://www.flintfabrik.de/pgs/starling/FFParticleSystem/) can be found on [my page.](http://www.flintfabrik.de/blog/improved-particle-system-for-starling)
