Vivrant.Particles

Particles and Weather for CSHTML5 (http://cshtml5.com/)

Demo:

http://vivrant-weathertests.bitballoon.com/

Milestones:

8-28-2017: ALPHA 0.1

- Snow and Rain particle generators completed
- Allow multiple instances of Particle Frames on same page
- CPU\Lifecycle Pause: When browser window\tab is not focused, animations will slow, and eventually pause. This uses JS 'document.hasFocus()'
- CPU\Lifecycle Resume: Once browser window\tab regains focus, animations will begin again. This uses JS 'document.hasFocus()'

Limitations:

Does not work in Simulator! I don't know why.

Usage:

• Add a reference to Vivrant.Particles.dll

• Create a new XAML window or Control

• Add a XAML Namespace:

  xmlns:vp="clr-namespace:Vivrant.Particles;assembly=Vivrant.Particles"

• Add the the following to your window or Control (this can replace any existing Canvas or Grid objects)

<Canvas HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch"> <vp:WeatherPanel> <vp:WeatherPanel.ParticleGenerator> <vp:SnowGenerator /> </vp:WeatherPanel.ParticleGenerator> </vp:WeatherPanel> <StackPanel> <!-- Other controls to underlay the Particle Animations --> </StackPanel> </Canvas>
