Improved particle system for the Starling framework

Short overview and live demo: http://www.flintfabrik.de/blog/improved-particle-system-for-starling

Getting started: Starling wiki page

This is particle system is based on and compatible to the original but provides some additional features and various performance improvements. Thanks a lot to Colin Northway (Incredipede) sponsoring this extension created for his upcoming game.

Important: I did anything to make the code as fast as possible but to get the best performance I strongly recommend using the ASC 2.0 compiler and setting it up for [inline] functions.

####New Features:

• particle pool
• batching (less draw calls)
• multi buffering (avoid stalling)
• animated particles
• random start frames
• filter support
• optional custom sorting, code and variables
• calculating bounds (optional)
• spawnTime, fadeIn/fadeOut
• emit angle alligned particle rotation
• various performance improvements

Additional information about the new features and the live demo (~ 5 MB) can be found on my page.
