Proton

The documentation is available here

Proton is an easily customizable html5 particle engine including six different types of renderers.
Check out examples at http://a-jie.github.io/Proton/

Features

  • Six kinds of renderers
    • canvas
    • dom
    • webgl
    • easeljs
    • pixel
    • pixijs
  • Create cool effects like the demo of 71squared's ParticleDesigner in 10 lines of code.
  • Integratable into any game engine
  • Veriety of behaviors
  • Three kinds of emitters which can simulate many different physical effects
  • The 3d version of the proton engine is here https://a-jie.github.io/three.proton/

Usage

var proton = new Proton();
var emitter = new Proton.Emitter();
//set Rate
emitter.rate = new Proton.Rate(Proton.getSpan(10, 20), 0.1);
//add Initialize
emitter.addInitialize(new Proton.Radius(1, 12));
emitter.addInitialize(new Proton.Life(2, 4));
emitter.addInitialize(new Proton.Velocity(3, Proton.getSpan(0, 360), 'polar'));
//add Behaviour
emitter.addBehaviour(new Proton.Color('ff0000', 'random'));
emitter.addBehaviour(new Proton.Alpha(1, 0));
//set emitter position
emitter.p.x = canvas.width / 2;
emitter.p.y = canvas.height / 2;
emitter.emit();
//add emitter to the proton
proton.addEmitter(emitter);
// add canvas renderer
var renderer = new Proton.Renderer('canvas', proton, canvas);
renderer.start();

//use Euler integration calculation is more accurate (default false)
Proton.USE_CLOCK = false or true;

Building Proton

Node is a dependency, use terminal to install it with with:
git clone git://github.com/a-jie/Proton.git
