   Help with Particles
  I assume this is the best place to post this question. I am new to programming and have went down the list of games to make as a newbie. But they werent really polished but used as learning programming. I want to step up now and make a well polished game. I know Particle Systems are used to make effects in games like fire, smoke, etc. etc. I was just wondering what would be the best way to make one for 2D games, or maybe not reinvent the wheel and use a free one.  I know how to program in Blitz Plus and Visual Basic but am learning C ++Thanks in advance   
  So this is in C++ right? What API are you using?   ;Quote:Original post by pseudobotSo this is in C++ right? What API are you using?I dont know C++ well enough yet to even make a pong game. I will be using Blitz Plus or Visual Basic. And my API would be DirectXI forgot to put this in my OP but, I said I was learning C++ and knew Blitz and VB to see if the languages I already know could make this now or if I should hold of untill I know C++
