Meteor Delay Wish
« on: October 17, 2012, »
I was messing with the Meteor effect on one of my grids and playing with the options I had an idea I think would be nice in the future

Instead of just launching a minimum of 1 meteor every frame possibly a way to launch from 0 to X number of meteors with no more than Y number of consecutive frames getting 0. Or another possibly easier way coding wise I could get closer to the effect I envisioned would be something like an adjustable delay between launches not tied to the frame speed.

In a nutshell I was wanting more time (or a bit of randomness) between launches but for that choice not to affect the fall speed animation.

Seems both reasonable and do-able.  Doubt it will make the priority list before Xmas though.

Oh I didn't figure it would get in this year. Was just toying yesterday with a strand I have setup in an expanded grid like icicles when it hit me.
