I had an array of enemies that would walk across the screen with a life count down and then delete themselves when their life=0, but the way I was doing it was adding their indexes to a local "to-delete" array and then deleting them after the for loop. So your method of deleting particles here mightve ended up helping me save a few tokens haha
Big thanks for you! Following your video I was able to put together a particle system in pico-8 that I'm satisfied with (It is still a bit cumbersome to create the actual effects, but I'm getting there). And indeed, now I love particles.
Hi, just want to say thank you so much for this video, I've been learning pico8 since last year, stopped for awhile and came back recently, Through many info and tutorials your video explains it well how each code functions, tq so much for the video, really appreciate it
Wait a second, so i can use particles as for like maybe the thrusters on plane or space ship? Or even like lasers? It seems way more fluid and dyamnic than making a few crappy sprites with a 2-3 frame animation...
Excellent video sir. Thank you!
Pico-8 is so awesome!
Just got Pico and now thinking I can do this. Great video the result looks so good 👍
Awesome tutorial - now I have particles in my pico-8 game! :) Thanks!

Excellent, excellent tutorial, SpaceCat. 🔥

You are so underrated bro, thx
How do you control spawn rate, so a particle doesn’t spawn every frame but every 2 or 3?
lol he said "ooooh baby", great work

Thanks for the video as always m8!
Bro, so good ❤
Thanks 🔥
So my other question is then why would anyone animate a fire sprite when you can just use particles?
I don't think I heard you mention making the particles grey to create smoke. I can see a chimney 🤔
would look good for a spaceships thruttle
