Matt Eley | Labs | Stardust Particle Demo

Info

This demo is a very simple example of how to use the excellent new Stardust Particle Engine.

ActionScript particle engines like Stardust can seem very complex with a large number of classes required to create an effect, but this is often due to a highly flexible and modular design, rather than them being difficult to use. This demo uses a very minimal setup to try and show how easy it actually is to create a basic particle effect using the Stardust engine.

Controls

Move the mouse around the screen and the smoke effect will follow.
