Particles!

We're moving onto particle systems in Programming!

One of the particles I'm making is a mushroom spore particle that falls from the giant mushrooms in my level. I found some pretty cool real life reference for this:


For the general particle system, I originally followed this tutorial:

For a second particle, I'm going to make an impact particle of dust exploding from a wall. I'll probably be basing it off the same Eat3D tutorial and some of their impact particle tutorial. Here's some ref:
