Example

f--Create a window
window = Window:Create()
context = Context:Create(window)
world = World:Create()
camera = Camera:Create()
camera:Move(0,0,-3)

--Create an emitter
emitter = Emitter:Create(10)
emitter:SetLoopMode(false)

while true do
    if window:Closed() or window:KeyHit(Key.Escape) then return false end

    Time:Update()
    world:Update()
    world:Render()
    
    context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Alpha) 
    if(emitter:GetLoopMode())then
        context:DrawText("Particles will loop.",2,2);
    else
        context:DrawText("Particles will not loop.",2,2);
    end
    
    context:Sync()
end
