====== Particle Engine ======
Particles! Pew Pew!

A new and improved particle system, simulation is done on the graphics card. Rendering of the effect is done using  billboards.

{{:documentation:fireball.jpg?500|}}

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.

===== Simulation =====
there are currently only to emmiters supported 
a flame emmitter.
a ball emmitter to create some nice fireballs.

===== To-Do =====
 collect some more particle textures
                 * some icy
                 * arcane
 create some more particle effects
                 * shield 
                 * explosion
