cge-2d-particle-emitter

2D particle system using "71 Squared" format (.pex files). Particles are calculated on CPU or with GPU acceleration (transform feedback). See also forum thread.

This is deprecated now in favor of cge-3d-particle-emitter.

By Eugene Loza.

Shifted Image Control

TCastleShiftedImageControl that can render cropped images with a shift. Also comes with two utilities:

1. ShiftedConvert - crops transparent parts of the image and converts it into a shifted image, that is rendered by TCastleShiftedImageControl.
2. AlphaBleeder - slower but more "beautiful" version of TCastleImage.AlphaBleed

This may come in handy when rendering multiple images that should be aligned properly to each other but have large unused transparent areas (e.g. different exported layers from InkScape). Should boost RAM/VRAM usage and performance a bit.
