    Hey everyone!


    I'm really glad to announce that the particle engine is ready for (testing) action. It's currently sitting in the particles-alpha branch on github.


    There's also a new sample project called Particles which you can check out for some usage samples.

    Note that we attached the 'alpha' tag to it because it hasn't been battle tested yet. It also has very little documentation, and is still missing some minor features. But we do feel that it's ready for anyone who wants to give it a go and see what we've been working on for that past who knows how long :).

    I just grabbed the latest from the particles-alpha branch but I can't compile the sample.

    I'm getting this error:
    /Samples/Particles/Classes/ParticlesRoot.h:41:9: fatal error: 'PixelKitParticles.h' file not found

    When I open the PixelKit project it shows this file missing from the Include folder - and I verified its not on GitHub either.

    Also, if you want to try our new performance kick, grab the glspeedfix branch and merge it with particles-alpha. It should merge without any problems and provide about 30% performance increase (this number was averaged over several tests I did, so it is not guaranteed for your specific app, but it should provide a performance boost no matter what)!
