I was looking at mono, and could not figure out how the bursts on the screen (when you destroy a blob) are generated. I checked out the media, but couldn't find a sprite. How does this work?

Hi TheKhakinator and welcome Smiley

I assume you are talking about the coloured circles that make up the background and not the little particles generated from the explosions?

Well the background is one large image and the blobs are simply draw onto that image as opposed to being seperate sprites which would be too slow.    The colour of each pixel being calculated based on its distance from the centre of the explosion.

Yeah well I do all my work on a crappy PC so using thousands of sprites isn't an option Smiley

And essentially that's what coding is.....finding matematical or logical solutions to a series of problems.
