ParticleCreator 3 for OS X - iOS Developer Tool Creates Particle Effects
August 23, 2011 in OS X Development
[prMac.com] Gunsan, Republic of Korea - BuBuCompany today is pleased to announce ParticleCreator 3.0 for OS X, an update to their Developer Tool that simplifies the creation of particle effects for use in Cocos2d games. Designed to replace the slow work of adjusting code variables to create a desired particle effect, the graphical tool allows developers to quickly generate, preview, modify, test, and save a customized effect. Once the effect is saved, ParticleCreator automatically generates the Cocos2d code, which can be added to the project's Resource Folder. Featuring a neatly arranged Settings Window with sliders / number fields that control every aspect of the particle's appearance and behavior, ParticleCreator is the ideal tool for graphic artists without programming skills as well as experienced game developers.
ParticleCreator has a single settings window from which users can choose one of four buttons: Graphic Configure, Particle Configure, Code Make, and Testing. A Preview window displays the animated particle(s) in real-time, or it may be displayed fullscreen. The Settings Window also includes selections for Play (One Play or Looped Play), Device (iPhone or iPad), Orientation (Landscape or Portrait), Load and Save Buttons, and a gallery of 37 Templates that be used as a starting point for creating a customized effect. Most commonly seen effects are represented in the Template gallery, including: Fire, Nova, Star Field, Explosion, Waterfall, Hurricane, Raindrops, Lightning Bugs, Fireworks, Spirograph, Solar Storm, Strobe, Bullets, Cyclone, Twinkling Points, Skulls, Ring of Fire, Spirals, etc.
