Use this skill for particle effects and motion trails in melonJS — ParticleEmitter configuration, burst versus stream emission, the referenceSpace frame of reference introduced in 20.2, 3D particle motion through elevation and minSpread/maxSpread in 20.8, and the Trail renderable. Covers the emitter that silently does nothing until you call an emit method.

# Particles and trails

## An emitter does nothing until you tell it to emit

Adding a `ParticleEmitter` to the world is not enough. Nothing appears, and
nothing warns you.

```js
const emitter = new ParticleEmitter(x, y, {
    image: loader.getImage("spark"),
    totalParticles: 60,
    speed: 4,
    minLife: 200, maxLife: 800,
});
