222	Create particle effects	landauf	sweber	"== Introduction ==

[[Image(s23992_pc_17.jpg, right, nolink, border=1, width=300)]]
Create particle effects and weapon effects. The code has to be modular, so we can attach them to weapons and other elements, change their size and lifetime.

== Goal ==
Ideas what we need:
 * steam
 * smoke
 * explosions
 * fire
 * sparks
 * ...

and for weapons:
 * muzzle flash
 * smoke trails
 * burst
 * splinters
 * ...

== Implementation ==
Play with the particle engine, create transparent textures and put them together to create realistic looking particle effects. Look at real photos and videos to get some inspiration.
