About 'Explosion Particle Effect'!

[Rick_Davidson]

In this video (objectives)…

1. Use texture sheet animation to create some variation in our particles.
2. Create a cool explosion effect.
3. Trigger our particle effect from code when the enemy dies.

After watching (learning outcomes)…

Create an explosion effect which we trigger when enemies are killed.

Ok, I didn’t use particles but I made a little animation.

I made a little pixel explosion animation for my effect to match the pixel art style of my game.

Looks great Jesse - nice work

Looks cool. I like that you’ve matched the speed of your game with the experience of piloting a large ship.

My particle explosion
I have 2 particle layers.
One that shoots sparks faster than the other.

That’s pretty good, Jesse. And the firing delay mechanic is a cool touch, too.

Here’s what I put together. Played around with adding an explosion child to the main ones, and added co-routunes to control the flashing.

Space shooters are funny, as there really are no explosions in outer space, but we love 'em anyway.

My particle system is fairly small as plan to replace it with a spritesheet animation and re-use to indicate when the player or an enemy is in a damaged state.

Hi! Sharing my particle system to the community! Even though I’m happy with it I still think that 2D animations are better for 2D games. You have a lot more control
