DCParticlez (http://tcr.xtleague.com/part.php), an interactive technical demo for the Dreamcast, has been released. This demo displays a blast of particles onto the screen, from the bottom up, like fireworks. There are several factors that can be controlled in regards to the particles flying. You can adjust the max life (the maximum number of frames a particle can stay onscreen), gravity (the amount a particle's Y position is changed), size (the size of particles in pixels (square)), frameskip (the number of frames to wait before creating particles), Intensity (how many particles are created at one time). There is a display on the screen that displays the number of particles onscreen at the given time, and the X and Y coordinates of the particle's origin.
