Fire Effect opengl iphone

Question

Hello any one knows a good tutorial where i can find a pointer to fire/flame effects on the iphone. i know i will have to use opengl but got no clue where to start.

Cheers.

Answer 1

You would probably need a particle engine for this. If you wish to learn to create such effects yourself, it might be tough. You can instead use other frameworks like cocos2d for iPhone. But if you want to do it in pure openGl, search on the lines of 'particle engine / particle generation on iphone' on stackoverflow or even google. You'll get many good pointers. Good Luck.

Answer 2

COCOS2D has a great particle emitter you can use. You can also try Corona for iPhone which is great.

Answer 3

Here's a link to a page that has a couple fire effect demos with source.
