EDIT: Dammit, forgot to check which section this post was in. Never mind, that cap above was in CC. I'll see if I can get something working in C2, if you want.

A good starting point for a particle effect is just creating lots of sprites with the Bullet movement. That's all the Particles object (when it comes) does under the hood.

Nice example, @yann. Why is it raining green M&Ms though?

Wastrel > too lazy to draw leaves :D...
and if I put leaves instead I cross the famous uncanny valley and the magic disappear: you became to notice how rigid they are (:
