This is my first (and not my last) extension! its called image particles!
just paste this code into the extension searchbar
`ShrimpCatDev/image-particles`
all you do is define a particle, i recommend you put it in a repeating block so it makes multiple!
x = the particle x
y = the particle y
vx and vy = the particles velocity X and Y
lifetime = the lifetime of the particle (in ticks)
image = the particle image
ax and ay = the acceleration x and y of the particle (gravity)

Can we put animations on the particle? I know it has an image but if I want to make a slowly pulsing particle it might be a bit hard. Other than that, I am really excited. (I might even put this in my hollow knight game) I even remember looking through make code’s particle factory code and giving up because I don’t know how to make extensions. 🤷♂️

By the way I did make a demo… It isn’t very exciting, just some black and white pixels but I am SUPER excited for this extension 🙂

If you make all the particles the same sprite kind (like ‘particle’) then you can make an ‘on sprite of kind particle’ created block to automatically apply an animation!

yeah i could, but im actually not using sprites for the particles, its just drawing images to the screen. buuuuuut i could add an animated sprite block that did animated sprites for particles!

Is this extension actually using the inbuilt particle factory?
