 =Additional Information=
-A particle engine allows to draw pixel per pixel where each pixel's position is given by a piece of code or a mathematical fomula. This is used to display interesting physical phenomenoms like water flow, explosions or fire
-The aim of the project is to add such an engine within the animation engine and, if time permits, within the terrain engine.
-A good understanding of the animation engine will be needed, but the particle engine will fit quite nicely in the existing structure
-for performance reasons the formulas will probaly have to be given in LUA, but other approches could be interesting
-there will probably be some needs to go into the wesnoth-SDL infrastructure for the display part
-googling for "particle engine" and "particle engine SDL" should provide lots of groundwork for writing proposals
