Particle System base class Attributes of a Particle System:
cocos2d also supports particles generated by Particle Designer (http://particledesigner.71squared.com/). 'Radius Mode' in Particle Designer uses a fixed emit rate of 30 hz. Since that can't be guarateed in cocos2d, cocos2d uses a another approach, but the results are almost identical.
cocos2d supports all the variables used by Particle Designer plus a bit more:
It is possible to customize any of the above mentioned properties in runtime. Example:
emitter.radialAccel = 15;
emitter.startSpin = 0;
