Chapter 9

  1. lifespan and count are common properties to set when using particles. They represent how long the particle should be shown for and how many should be shown, respectively.
  2. Particles created a lot of objects very quickly and can use up a lot of memory, so we need to free up the memory once the particle is no longer in use.
  3. MovingParticle, CircleParticle, and ComputedParticle are examples of particles that Flame supports.
  4. Flame supports the PreRenderedLayer for static images and the DynamicLayer for animated images.
  5. We need to delegate the rendering of the super class to the layer class so that the layer processor can do its work of generating the shadow image.
