This project started out as an ugly face, but look at it now… It’s a fully bilboarded particle system. hopefully it runs on your slow ass computer. To see it, download the
ZIP FILE
extract it, and run the comet.exe

Wanna see the source code? I bet you do you filthy moocher.
SOURCE CODE

Be warned, the code is absolutely flawless, and if I catch you using it, I’ll kill you. It needs STL though…

Commands

Arrow Keys controls your movement
A goes up
Z goes down
B makes the particles burst at the origin
