Looking into how to most efficiently use Particles in Game Maker.
-You only need a new SYSTEM when you want to have different depth.

-Make a new EMITTER for each object making particles.

-Make a new PARTICLE when changing multiple settings (speed/sprite)


Particles are "Fire and Forget" so you can change their settings without much worry, but Systems and Emitters actively check their settings, which is why you need a new one.

Tip!
Make a script and put your Particle clean up code in there, then put the script in your Game End/Destroy/Room End code!

Added more underwater stuff. They aren't too visible. Some of them look a little weird though, I dunno maybe I need to mix the up instead of having single ones.

#GJAsks I thought it would have been Tennis for the Atari 400 which my dad had, but I can't find evidence of the cartridge, so I'm gonna say Joust which I still have from back then!
