[Effekseer](https://effekseer.github.io/en/) is a full-featured particle effect creation tool, [open-source](https://github.com/effekseer/Effekseer/), cross-platform and with a [big library of samples](https://effekseer.github.io/en/contribute.html).

Thanks to _Trung Le (Kagamma)_, we can now [easily render Effekseer effects in _Castle Game Engine_](https://github.com/Kagamma/cge-effekseer). The integration uses the very latest Effekseer version (1.61a), and works on both desktop and mobile platforms.

Under the movies, we list detailed usage instructions, so read on 🙂

Usage:

1. Get the [cge-effekseer code](https://github.com/Kagamma/cge-effekseer).

2. Follow the instructions in the [cge-effekseer code](https://github.com/Kagamma/cge-effekseer) README about getting the library — _Precompiled Dynamic Library_ or _Generate dynamic library guidelines_.

3. Test the [demos/TestEffekseer](https://github.com/Kagamma/cge-effekseer/tree/master/demos/TestEffekseer) inside. You will need to copy there the dynamic library of the Effekseer wrapper. For Windows, copy the `libeffekseer.dll`. For Linux, copy the `libeffekseer.so`.

4. Instructions about using it in your own applications are in [cge-effekseer README](https://github.com/Kagamma/cge-effekseer).

5. To create your own effects, use the Effekseer editor and browse their [samples](https://effekseer.github.io/en/contribute.html). The process is independent of _Castle Game Engine_.
