--------------- EXPECTED PROGRESS --------------- Implement functioning particle system module. --------------- ACTUAL PROGRESS --------------- Implemented simple particle system module w/ framework to test particle emitters before integration. Used example source code from "Special Effects... DirectX" book. Added simple particle manager to control multiple particle emitters. --------------- SNAGS --------------- Only the cryptic DirectX naming... "INdirextX". --------------- PLANS --------------- Experiment w/ varying particle system parameters to achieve different special effects that could be used for game. Develop specialized particle emitters to accomplish specific effects desired for game aesthetics. Make any necessary modifications to module/framework to meet needs of the game.
