Is there a continuous particle generator built-in into LiquidFun?

Question

Is there a continuous particle generator, meaning a type of functionality where I simply can create a bunch of particles and have them regenerate when they die?

Thanks!

Answer 1

There is no built in emitter in the LiquidFun source, you have to design your own particle emitters.

However you can have a look at the testbed and use the necessary classes here.

Answer 2

In Liquidfun examples there is a Faucet demo (testFaucet.js), but unfortunately it does not work in all forks of box2d+liquidfun, due to missing ParticleEmitter class.

I found a working Faucet example in this port of liquidfun:

Demos:

In the examples there is also Drawing, which adds particles as long as mouse moves, which could maybe eploited to create your own particle emitter.

Unfortunately this port is in a weird "google format" which I don't know how to edit.
