Mass, overdue updates for people following me due to random projects.
- The JavaScript-Particle-System was rewritten to use requirejs and an event system on loan from Backbone (also featured in the NodeKnockout 2012 winner Disasteroids)
- Moved the bulk of grunt-preprocess out and published npm module preprocess. Grunt 0.4.0 support is available on a branch.
- RCL is up to 0.3.4 with features and fixes from Chris Miller for better firefox handling, also includes a small slew of other fixes only in the client. Server got updates to be more useful as a grunt task.
- grunt-contrib-jasmine was brought up to date with the feature-frozen grunt 0.4.0
- grunt-contrib-uglify has been updated to use the new UglifyJS version which includes support for sourcemaps.
Deprecation notices
- grunt-jasmine-runner will be deprecated as soon as grunt 0.4.0 hits, in favor of grunt-contrib-jasmine.
- I’m hoping to deprecate grunt-strip soon in favor of grunt-groundskeeper if that ends up serving the same purposes better. Everyone using grunt-strip is encouraged to check out that project.

Hi Jarrod,
I am very interested in coding particle systems with JSON. wonder where can I find the naming and coding conventions for all parameters such as emitting source (shape, position…), velocity , flow direction, age, and any other parameters. Thank you so much.

The best documentation is the code itself. It’s reasonably straightforward and it won’t be usable without getting somewhat comfortable with the source.
