This is a demo of the particle engine designed for Null, Viva La Samba, and possibly other upcoming titles from me. DC Particlez is basically a driver that lets you manipulate and create particles as different special effects.

Version History

MarauderIIC deserves a helluva thank you for all of his help back when this engine was first being created. I got crazily confused with the linked lists and he did more than a fair share helping me out.

Selfbooting .CDI and .NRG were created with BootDreams by LyingWake

Special thanks for LyingWake for showing me how to use his BootDreams. =P

Thanks to JS Lemming, Tvspelsfreak, Arce, and everybody on TheChaosRift forums for input and support.

A humble thanks to devvers like Tvspelsfreak, Quzar, BlackAura, Scherzo, LyingWake, and everybody else for lending a helping hand whenever it was needed.

Thanks to all Nullers at DCEmulation for providing a place for me to just chill when I'm sick and tired of devving.

One last, deep thanks to fatheadpi and DCPawnshop for hooking me up with a BBA on my birthday.
