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);

        context:DrawText("Particles will not loop.",2,2);
    end
