What You Just Did

Before we get into all of that, let's review what you did this chapter:

  • You learned about particles and particle systems.

  • You created a custom vertex.

  • You created a particle engine that moves, adds, and removes particles to create a sphere-shaped explosion.

  • You created an HLSL effect file that sets the size of the vertices and sets the colors based on texture coordinates.

  • You created a starfield background using a modified particle engine that draws particles but doesn't remove them or move them around.
