How I can make the effects of explosion, smoke, fire, etc. … [import]uid: 93421 topic_id: 34677 reply_id: 334677[/import]

There are a couple ways you can do that.

First, using a particle engine. Corona SDK doesn’t include one, but Particle Candy from X-Pressive is pretty good:

Or, use sprites to actually display the different frames of an explosion. Here’s an example from Deviantart:

You’d use an image sheet like that to create a sprite sequence and then “play” that sequence where you want the explosion to happen.

I made a very powerful, yet completely free particle library:

This seems to be very handy and easy, including a link to an explosion generator : http://www.webdevils.com/?p=845 [import]uid: 148841 topic_id: 34677 reply_id: 138783[/import]

Particle Candy isn’t free, but it is definitely worth taking a look:

Hi @yen-zu,
Another option with much potential (although I haven’t used it myself, yet) is this application that generates animated sprite frames from a particle system.

http://www.rigzsoft.co.uk/index.php

If anybody has used this and cares to report on how good (or not-so-good) it is, please do so.

Thanks,
