The properties of the particle control have they move, grow and change in appearance. They also describe the state the particle are initialised in. These values are often based on pseduo-random numbers which leads to effects that tend to look more organic and unique than with pre-canned animations. text/html 2007-08-28T07:29:46+00:00 http://slick.cokeandcode.com/wiki/doku.php?id=polling_the_current_input_state&rev=1188286186 Polling Input Polling the input allows you to check the state of the input devices at a given momemnt in time.
