Not sure how I missed that! You’re right, I should be spawning the new particles in the back. Not sure how I missed that!

The transparency effect is cool and so is the randomness of the particle trajectories.

I can't wait for the new jetpack - considering the original jetpack is one of my favourite 'old' games. That looks awesome!

All vectors are converted to raster eventually. No, vectors are only faster in certain situations like rotation and some scaling. All vectors are converted to raster eventually.

I thought about making a pure 3D version in C++ (I was going to learn), but never did. (I'm 17... go figure) I can't wait for Jetpack 2 to be made. On my MBP it's running at a steady 25.9fps when there's just over 400 'things'. Very cool. Cannot wait. Best of luck (it's not theatre... - No, I can spell. I'm Australian...) Wow!
