nice partical effects

just wondering if theres a fast nice way of drawing partical belt (vapor trails). that look any good. it all seem to draw a little slow.

What way are you doing it now?

well is was doing it in jogl- but i was wondering if theres a 2d option. without the need of native bish bosh.

i’m looking at polygon classes in java2d today. eveything seems to draw slow. humm maybe its the way i have setup my Canvas.
