Version 0.9.4 released

6th March 2008

Now in SVN and download. The core features haven’t changed but I have added a number of new behaviours.

Access all properties in Actions, Initializers, Counters and Activities so they can be modified while the emitter is running.
AlphaInit initializer sets the initial alpha value for all particles
ImageClasses and SharedImages initializers set the particle image to one selected from a group, with weighting to adjust the selection
MouseExplosion action pushes particles away from the mouse
MouseGravity action pulls particles towards the mouse
TurnAwayFromMouse action causes particles to turn away from the mouse
GreyscaleZone uses a greyscale image to define a zone, with weighting based on the luminence of each pixel
Pulse counter emits particles in regular bursts
PerformanceAdjusted counter adjusts the rate of particle emission if the frame-rate drops
TwoWay energyEasing functions have an energy peak half-way through the particle’s lifetime
