# Particles ### Particles All the other guidelines apply to particles as well, with a few differences.

As seen above, the particles need to be even more cartoonish, simple and recognizable, since they are not only small overall, but also move and rotate in space a lot. They also must be in PNG format, 64x64 and named in PascalCase.

An example of the leaf particles in movement. Players can recognize the shape and color fast enough that the particles do not stay in the world for long.

Another example of particles with different settings, allowing those to shrink as their lifetime is coming to an end. Also: animated console screens in action.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://ss3d.gitbook.io/art-guide/2d/textures/particles.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
