Running the game
Now you can run the game, tap on the screen, tap the play/pause button, and then the ParticleSystem class will burst into action:
Figure 19.5 – Running the game
Quite spectacular for half an hour's work! In fact, you will probably want to reduce the number of particles to fewer than 100, perhaps make them all white, and maybe reduce their size as well. All these things you can easily do by looking at the ParticleSystem class and its comments.
Tip
The screenshot of the particle explosion at the start of the previous chapter was with fewer, smaller, and just white particles.
Delete this temporary code from the onTouchEvent method of the GameEngine class:
// This is temporary code to emit a particle system mParticleSystem.emitParticles( new PointF(500,500));
Soon, we will spawn our particle system from the physics engine when one of our lasers hits...
