Particle Support
With the new ParticleVPlay component, you can now create fully compatible Qt 5 particle effects. We even enhanced the default Qt 5 Particle component with a lot more properties to make your particle effects unique. The API stays backwards compatible with Felgo 1, so your already created particle effects work with Felgo 2 as well.
With the Felgo Particle Editor, you can create your particle effects and change any particle property at runtime. This helps to get the desired visual effects as fast as possible. Alternatively, you can even use other popular particle editors and import the particle file from there.
New AI Components
The remaining AI components from Felgo 1 are now also available in Felgo 2. MoveToPointHelper allows to move a game entity towards a point or a moving target. PathMovement simplifies movement along a path. And JoystickControllerHUD provides an input controller that allows the same input logic for keyboard and touch devices.
Qt 5.3.1 Support
This Felgo release is based on the new Qt 5.3.1 version which adds some fixes like multiple key handling and some Android fixes.
As a Felgo customer, you can update to this version right away and enjoy all the new additions. Happy coding. 🙂
