magine a scene in a game in which a rocket flies through the air, leaving a smoke trail behind it. Suddenly the rocket explodes, sparks flying everywhere. Out of the disintegrating rocket a creature is jettisoned towards you, its body parts exploding and blood flying through the air, leaving messy blood splatters on the camera lens. What do most of the ele- ments in this scene have in common? Yes, most of these elements are vio- describes the basics of particles, where- performance hits are due to memory lent.
