[Tuxmath-devel] Comets instead of UFOs

[Samuel H. <cri...@ge...>]

I have been giving thought to our talks of using comets instead of UFOs, and 
it occured to me, we actually already have some CG rock animation we could 
use as the comets. All we would need to do is come up with something to use 
as vapor trails following the rocks, and viola! We have comets!

Something that might be visually neat would be to do as well is to do some 
simple vapor dissapation animation, and then have this animation trail the 
comets (kind of like how they used to construct large characters in 8-bit & 
16-bit video games by stringing together a chain of smaller sprites, kind of 
like this from Space Harrier:

Or, you could always lift code from your explosions demo to use as vapor 
trails as well.
