Particle Collisions?

Can particles be set to be constrained to/bounce off tiles?
Thanks!

No, not yet. This is a very expensive operation though.

Future work. :)

Can Particle Collide with other sceneObjects?

Particles don't have collision detection.

You can add a cast-ray during each particle integration, it would be simple to add it, but as I say, it can be a very expensive operation. Against tilemaps would be the worst because there are so many potential sub-components to a tile-layer calculation.

Not something I'd want to unleash straight away, unless of course you're telling me you are all consenting adults. ;)

I can handle it!!!

We just did our first cross platform test - took something made on the windows platform and dropped a folder in on the mac side and bingo ran straight away. NICE.
