C# Class Cyclyc.Framework.ParticleSystem

ParticleSystem is an abstract class that provides the basic functionality to create a particle effect. Different subclasses will have different effects, such as fire, explosions, and plumes of smoke. To use these subclasses, simply call AddParticles, and pass in where the particles should exist

Inheritance: Microsoft.Xna.Framework.DrawableGameComponent

Méthode	Description
InitializeConstants ( ) : void	this abstract function must be overriden by subclasses of ParticleSystem. It's here that they should set all the constants marked in the region "constants to be set by subclasses", which give each ParticleSystem its specific flavor.
InitializeParticle ( Particle p, Vector2 where ) : void	InitializeParticle randomizes some properties for a particle, then calls initialize on it. It can be overriden by subclasses if they want to modify the way particles are created. For example, SmokePlumeParticleSystem overrides this function make all particles accelerate to the right, simulating wind.

However, this value should be set to the minimum possible, because it has a large impact on the amount of memory required, and slows down the Update and Draw functions.

Method Details

AddParticles() public méthode

AddParticles's job is to add an effect somewhere on the screen. If there aren't enough particles in the freeParticles queue, it will use as many as it can. This means that if there not enough particles available, calling AddParticles will have no effect.

public AddParticles ( Vector2 where ) : void
where	Vector2	where the particle effect should be created
Résultat	void

Draw() public méthode

overriden from DrawableGameComponent, Draw will use ParticleSampleGame's sprite batch to render all of the active particles.

public Draw ( GameTime gameTime ) : void
gameTime	Microsoft.Xna.Framework.GameTime
Résultat	void

Initialize() public méthode

override the base class's Initialize to do some additional work; we want to call InitializeConstants to let subclasses set the constants that we'll use. also, the particle array and freeParticles queue are set up here.

public Initialize ( ) : void
Résultat	void

InitializeConstants() protected abstract méthode

this abstract function must be overriden by subclasses of ParticleSystem. It's here that they should set all the constants marked in the region "constants to be set by subclasses", which give each ParticleSystem its specific flavor.

protected abstract InitializeConstants ( ) : void
Résultat	void

InitializeParticle() protected méthode

InitializeParticle randomizes some properties for a particle, then calls initialize on it. It can be overriden by subclasses if they want to modify the way particles are created. For example, SmokePlumeParticleSystem overrides this function make all particles accelerate to the right, simulating wind.

protected InitializeParticle ( Particle p, Vector2 where ) : void
p	Particle	the particle to initialize
where	Vector2	the position on the screen that the particle should be ///
Résultat	void

LoadContent() protected méthode

Override the base class LoadContent to load the texture. once it's loaded, calculate the origin.

protected LoadContent ( ) : void
Résultat	void

ParticleSystem() protected méthode

Constructs a new ParticleSystem.

it is tempting to set the value of howManyEffects very high. However, this value should be set to the minimum possible, because it has a large impact on the amount of memory required, and slows down the Update and Draw functions.

protected ParticleSystem ( Game1 game, int howManyEffects ) : System
game	Game1	The host for this particle system. The game keeps the /// content manager and sprite batch for us.
howManyEffects	int	the maximum number of particle effects that /// are expected on screen at once.
Résultat	System

PickRandomAngle() protected méthode

PickRandomDirection is used by InitializeParticles to decide which direction particles will move. The default implementation is a random vector in a circular pattern.

protected PickRandomAngle ( ) : float
Résultat	float

PickRandomDirection() protected méthode

protected PickRandomDirection ( ) : Vector2
Résultat	Vector2

Update() public méthode

overriden from DrawableGameComponent, Update will update all of the active particles.

public Update ( GameTime gameTime ) : void
gameTime	Microsoft.Xna.Framework.GameTime
Résultat	void

maxScale protected_oe property

protected float maxScale
Résultat	float

minAcceleration protected_oe property

minAcceleration and maxAcceleration are used to control the acceleration of the particles. The particle's acceleration will be a random number between these two. By default, the direction of acceleration is the same as the direction of the initial velocity.

protected float minAcceleration
Résultat	float

minBlue protected_oe property

protected float minBlue
Résultat	float

minGreen protected_oe property

protected float minGreen
Résultat	float

minInitialSpeed protected_oe property

minInitialSpeed and maxInitialSpeed are used to control the initial velocity of the particles. The particle's initial speed will be a random number between these two. The direction is determined by the function PickRandomDirection, which can be overriden.

protected float minInitialSpeed
Résultat	float

minLifetime protected_oe property

minLifetime and maxLifetime are used to control the lifetime. Each particle's lifetime will be a random number between these two. Lifetime is used to determine how long a particle "lasts." Also, in the base implementation of Draw, lifetime is also used to calculate alpha and scale values to avoid particles suddenly "popping" into view

protected float minLifetime
Résultat	float

minNumParticles protected_oe property

minNumParticles and maxNumParticles control the number of particles that are added when AddParticles is called. The number of particles will be a random number between minNumParticles and maxNumParticles.

protected int minNumParticles
Résultat	int

minRed protected_oe property

protected float minRed
Résultat	float

minRotationSpeed protected_oe property

minRotationSpeed and maxRotationSpeed control the particles' angular velocity: the speed at which particles will rotate. Each particle's rotation speed will be a random number between minRotationSpeed and maxRotationSpeed. Use smaller numbers to make particle systems look calm and wispy, and large numbers for more violent effects.

protected float minRotationSpeed
Résultat	float

minScale protected_oe property

to get some additional variance in the appearance of the particles, we give them all random scales. the scale is a value between minScale and maxScale, and is additionally affected by the particle's lifetime to avoid particles "popping" into view.

protected float minScale
Résultat	float

spriteBlendMode protected_oe property

different effects can use different blend modes. fire and explosions work well with additive blending, for example.

protected SpriteBlendMode spriteBlendMode
Résultat	SpriteBlendMode

textureFilename protected_oe property

this controls the texture that the particle system uses. It will be used as an argument to ContentManager.Load.

protected string textureFilename
Résultat	string
