particles-lifecycle

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides a complete toolkit for managing particle birth, life, and death cycles, enabling memory-efficient recycling through pooling and sophisticated visual effects.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Birth/death lifecycle management for particles with rebirth capability.
• Emission patterns including Continuous, Burst, and Shape-based emitters.
• Object pooling to minimize garbage collection in real-time rendering.
• Trails, fade, and size/color animations to create rich, dynamic visuals.
• State machines governing Spawning, Active, Dying, and Dead phases.

Use Case: Create a meteor shower or explosion where many particles spawn, live briefly with fading colors, emit trails, and are recycled efficiently.

Quick Start

Initialize a ParticlePool with a max count, set up an emitter, and integrate pool.update(delta) and emitter.emit(...) into your render loop to start generating particles.
