   Hey again, I'm having an issue using the twoD Rotation initializer. What I'd like to happen is for each new particle created in this emitter to have a random rotation (which is what I assume this initializer is for)... what's happening is the particle appears in a seemingly random part of the emitter instead. Could someone show me an example of how the code for this sort of rotation should look?

   It looks like there are Rotation calls in the ExplodingImage 2D demo. Have you tried that? It might do what you are looking for.

   emitter.addInitializer( new Rotation( 0, 2 * Math.PI ) );
   
   The two parameters are the maximum and minimum rotation of the particles, in radians. A random number between these values will be chosen for each particle.

   While we are rotating...is it possible to set the rotationX/rotationY/rotationZ of 2D particles? Or would I need to implement 3D particles to achieve this?

   Hi Antoine
   
   That's not implemented in the set of initializers included with Flint, but you could create a custom initializer to do it - it would be quite simple, similar to the Rotation initializer but with two more axes.
