Class DDParticle

java.lang.Object
  de.rico.engine.effect.particle.AbstractParticle
      de.rico.engine.effect.particle.DDParticle

public class DDParticle
extends AbstractParticle

This class represents a particle that uses the direct drawing technique. Note: Display list particles (DLParticle) can be slower than directly drawn particles (DDParticle). I suppose thuis is due to the need to create a dislplay list for everey particle.
