Detailed Description

Particle object - exhaust.

Getting more specialised now, as now we have lifetimes

Public Member Functions
	Particle ()
	Simple constructor.
void	regen (Vec4 pos, Vec4 dir, float spread, Vec4 spd)
	Revive the particle (essentially create a new one, but it's the same object).
void	render (void)
	GL_POINT, with no lighting.
void	update (float time)
	As well as other physics updates, age it.

Member Function Documentation

void Particle::regen (  Vec4  pos, Vec4  dir, float  spread, Vec4  spd )

Revive the particle (essentially create a new one, but it's the same object). A new particle is created in the middle of the ship, broadly directed out the back, but a random component is added around the y and z axes. The velocity and life are also slightly random. Looks nice. Parameters: pos  Position of the new exhaust. dir  The centre of the plume. spread  How much to spread by. In radians. spd  Initial speed of the particle - this should come from the ship that spawned it.

Here is the call graph for this function:

void Particle::update (  float  time  )  [virtual]

As well as other physics updates, age it. Parameters: time  In seconds. Implements AbsObj.
