GUI Particle Effects

by Sean Yeomans · in Game Design and Creative Issues · 07/30/2008 (5:14 pm) · 3 replies

Hi guys,

Is it possible to have particle effects as a GUI? I'm working on a 2D game and I wanted the players health to be represented by a flow of particles. Is this possible?

Thanks

Holy cow! That's a brilliant idea! I'd never thought of that before, but the GUI effects possible would be astounding!

There's been a couple of people talking about adding particles to the object view GUI, so I bet the solution to this would either be one of those or something similar.

No, thank you! Think of all the gui effects you could do with this!
