Use this skill for particle effects and motion trails in melonJS — ParticleEmitter configuration, burst versus stream emission, the referenceSpace frame of reference introduced in 20.2, 3D particle motion through elevation and minSpread/maxSpread in 20.8, and the Trail renderable. Covers the emitter that silently does nothing until you call an emit method. Triggers on: Trail3d, ribbon, exhaust trail, speed streak, ski track, tyre mark, ribbonNormal, ParticleEmitter, particles, particle editor…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Particles and trails

## An emitter does nothing until you tell it to emit

Adding a `ParticleEmitter` to the world is not enough. Nothing appears, and
nothing warns you.

```js
const emitter = new ParticleEmitter(x, y, {
    image: loader.getImage("spark"),
    totalParticles: 60,
    speed: 4,
    minLife: 200, maxLife: 800,
});

world.addChild(emitter);
emitter.streamParticles();     // continuous — or:
emitter.burstParticles();      // one shot
```

`streamParticles(ms)` takes an optional run time; without one it uses the
`duration` setting, which defaults to `Infinity` — a stream runs until
`stopStream()`. `burstParticles(n)` launches `n`, or `totalParticles`.

Without an `image`, particles are white squares of `textureSize` pixels (8 by
default), coloured by `tint`. Every such emitter draws the renderer's one
shared white pixel, stretched, so an emitter per explosion or a `reset()` on
every tweak costs no texture.

## Tuning an effect: the Particle Editor

Settings are easier to find by eye than by reasoning. The
[Particle Editor](https://melonjs.github.io/melonJS/examples/#/particle-editor)
runs one emitter live, with every setting on a slider, from a preset (fire,

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add melonjs/melonjs/melonjs-particles-and-trails@sha256:e2f65a1a5a5c2b02

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.84a0921, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
