 +===== Preperation =====
 +You will have to create the folder ''ParticleSystems'' where your application can see it. and add the folder into your resource file like you have done in previous labs.
  
 +You can use your own project or start fresh with the base application {{:public:t-gede-14-1:lab6_handout.7z|code}}

-  - **Additional attributes,** Now remove all the addition lines added from the particle emitter leaving only the emission_rate, direction and velocity. And we will now modify the behaviour of the emitter, giving it a emission duration and restart delay. Lets make it emit particles for 1 second and then stop for one second before starting again. <code cpp>// Emit particles for 1 second at a time with a 1 second interval.+  - **Additional attributes,** Now remove all the additional lines added in the previous steps from the particle emitter leaving only the ''emission_rate, direction and velocity''.

You provide the time on scale from 0-1 ''time# scale'' , and colours are given in the form ''colour# r g b a''.  Lets create a happy stream: <code cpp>// on ColourInterpolators you can have up to 6 colour intervals. +    - And finally we have the ColorInterpelator. It works similarly to the ColorFader2 but with 1..6 number of states.
