Particle effects can be easily designed using the powerful Particle Editor, and it is recommended to use this instead of working them out in code. We have learned how a finished particle effect can be incorporated and controlled in our existing game. We have also learned how to achieve a wind effect using our simple physics simulation to animate the clouds in the game world with just a few changes. An introduction to Linear interpolation has been given and how this can be applied to create smooth movements for the game's camera and rocks that ...
