Request 5 (LibGDX) - Particle Effects
Why Stack Overflow recommends it
Stack Overflow users link it when answering why a LibGDX particle effect from the .p file does not appear, since it walks through the editor and the load/start/draw code.
Recommended by 5 people across 5 different months, 2014 to 2015.
What it is
A 22-minute LibGDX tutorial by dermetfan on using the Particle Editor that ships with LibGDX and loading the resulting effect in code. It builds a simple empty screen and shows the handful of lines needed to load, start, draw and position a ParticleEffect.

EDIT OK I found this video that explains how to use it : [this video] it works with this code: //in create effect = new ParticleEffect(); FileHandle fileDir = Gdx.files.internal("data"); effect.load(Gdx.files.internal("data/myParticleTxtFile"), fileDir); effect.start(); //in render effect.draw(batch, Gdx.graphics.getDeltaTime()); batch.end(); Previous message: I created a particle effect with the particle editor, I added the text file to the data folder. The particle constructor needs an atlas, so I created a new atlas with TexturePacker but I could not make it work.

Run once: effect = new ParticleEffect(); effect.load(Gdx.files.internal("path/to/your/particle.p", "directory/with/your/particle/png")); effect.setPosition(200, 200); effect.start(); Run in render: spriteBatch.begin(); effect.draw(spriteBatch, delta); spriteBatch.end(); And in dispose: effect.dispose(); Particle.png can be copied from libgdx sources for example: [LINK] And watch again the video tutorial - you are messing and missing many things: [this video] The tutorial itself covers less things, than video, but pasting here for hope it will be updated: [LINK]

I have created a .p file using Libgdx particle editor by downloading libgdx-nightly-latest.zip using this [this video] tutorial. Now in my Android project i have added gdx.jar and gdx-backend-android.jar as external jar from Libgdx. I found the following code which are used in libgdx project: ParticleEffect effect = new ParticleEffect(); FileHandle fileDir = Gdx.files.internal("data"); effect.load(Gdx.files.internal("data/myParticleTxtFile"), fileDir); effect.start(); effect.draw(batch, Gdx.graphics.getDeltaTime()); batch.end(); I modified the above code as follows in onDraw() method ParticleEffect effect = new ParticleEffect(); FileHandle fileDir = Gdx.files.internal("asset"); effect.load(Gdx.fi

I think the guy is using a particle system in any game engine to achieve the desired and it can be done easily. [this video]

The easiest way to do this is using particle effects. it's hard to give more information since every particle effect is rather specific to its' game's needs. I suggest you take a look at the wiki [LINK] . Also, take a look at this helpful video [this video] . It has a basic usage of the particle effect editor, as well as the usage of ParticleEffect objects in libgdx code.

I'm trying to use a particle effect, but I encounter an error associated with this task before my application starts. This is how I've set it up: private ParticleEffect particle; @Override public void create(){... ParticleEffect particle = new ParticleEffect(); particle.load(Gdx.files.internal("data/effects/flame1"), Gdx.files.internal("data/effects")); particle.setPosition(Gdx.graphics.getWidth() /2, Gdx.graphics.getHeight() /2); particle.start(); .........} @Override public void render(){... spriteBatch.begin(); particle.draw(spriteBatch, Gdx.graphics.getDeltaTime()); spriteBatch.end(); Note that my particle effects file and corresponding source image file is located under data/effects fol
