I made some particle effects with the Physics Particles extension. It took some time to understand all parameters, it's easier when you have some examples
Please login to see this attachment.
In the mfa-file you find these effects:
-smoke
-fire
-explosion
-blood splatter (2 variations)
-waterfall
-falling, sprinkling stars
I kept it simple and didn't add any events, except background collsion for the water and "follow the mouse" for the star particles.
It doesn't look very polished but maybe it's a good starting point. Your welcome to post your modified effects here!
