Crystalline - a Particle System Tool!
« on: January 19, 2015, 03:33:08 PM »
HeyGuys

I developed a tool for Game Maker Particle Systems, because I got tired of having to recompile the GMK every time I made one tiny change. This tool lets you edit particles in real time, so you can instantly see your code in action!

I've tried to simplify everything, and even included a randomizer function in case you have no idea and just want to roll the dice and see what happens. You can also save/load particles, and export the scripts needed to import them into Game Maker! Now there's no reason for people not to use particles :Kappa:

You can see a screenshot of the program in action here:

I hope you find it useful! Please let me know if I can improve it, or if you have any problems with it.

--Latest Version--

That's what the export scripts button is for, you don't even have to know how particles work, you just make them look fancy in the tool and I create all the code for you :4Head:
