 ====== Particle Engine ======
 Particles! Pew Pew!
-===== Simulation =====
-Currently working on the simulation.
-{{ :documentation: cone.jpg|}}
+A new and improved particle system, simulation is done on the graphics card. Rendering of the effect is done using  billboards.
-{{ :documentation: coneattractors.jpg|}}
-This is what's implemented so far:
+{{:documentation:flame.jpg?300|}}
-  * Particle Emitters (Line,Cone,All around)
+{{:documentation:fireball.jpg?500|}}
-  * Point Attractors
+There are now 2 different kind of particles, full-rotating billboards and axial-alligned billboards.
+These axial-alligned particles can be used for more trail-effects where an whole trail is represented by one stretched billboard that is alligned according to it's flight direction.
+{{:documentation:sparkle.jpg?300| }}
+===== Simulation =====
+there are currently only to emmiters supported
+a flame emmitter.
+a ball emmitter to create some nice fireballs.
 ===== To-Do =====
-  * Code cleanup
+ collect some more particle textures
-  * Moving Emitters and Attractors
+                 * some icy
+                 * arcane
+ create some more particle effects
+                 * shield
+                 * explosion
