A small particle editor that I made while learning the Picotron API. It allows you to save particles with the .prt extension. It works like the map, gfx and sfx editors, creating the /ram/cart/particles folder and the /ram/cart/particles/0.prt default file in the current cartridge. The editor does not save the particle logic, so you must copy the particles.lua to your project and call create_emitter by passing the unpoded prt file.

How to install?

To install in the toolbar, create the file /appdata/system/startup.lua and copy the following lines.

create_process("/appdata/system/apps/particles.p64", {argv={"/ram/cart/particles/0.prt"}})

mount("/system/util/open.lua","/appdata/system/util/open.lua")

The last line will alias the system open command to your own command in appdata. Copy the code from /system/util/open.lua to /appdata/system/util/open.lua and change the following table.

prog_for_ext =
{
    lua = "/system/apps/code.p64",
    txt = "/system/apps/notebook.p64",
    pn  = "/system/apps/notebook.p64",
    gfx = "/system/apps/gfx.p64",
    map = "/system/apps/map.p64",
    sfx = "/system/apps/sfx.p64",
    pod = "/system/apps/podtree.p64",
    theme = "/system/apps/themed.p64",
    prt = "/appdata/system/apps/particles.p64"
}

Now reboot. The program should be in the toolbar and you will be able to open the prt files from the desktop. Have fun!

At the end i run out of tokens so there are some parts unpolished. Map generation is a little buggy. I hope you enjoy it!
