Can we blit single pixels onto the canvas?

Is it possible to draw single pixels with C2? (or with HTML5 canvas in general?)

I am doing some really small explosion special effect. I was wondering if there is a more efficient way of drawing just a single point on the screen than using a 1x1 textured sprite plane?

Explosions are a small 16x16 tile, I just want a few little sparks to fly out, and then alpha fade into nothingness.

If not I am cool with making a 1x1 texture. Years of 3d modeling and UV mapping has prepared me for such a monumental task.

CANVAS PLUGIN

is what you may be after.

That looks Great! thank you procrastinator!

Don't thank me, thank r0j0hound who made it ;p

For explosions like that you may want to have a look at the Particles plugin.

Set it to one shot and spawn one where you want on the screen, it should be pretty much what you're after.

Kyatric is right, and I don't really know why I didn't think. Particles are just so nice for explosions. Well, at least you know about the awesome Canvas plugin now ;)

Excellent! Thank you. I saw the particles before but did not notice the in-depth controls. I think I only played with them for the first day.

Going to go look at the manual, as see what I have been missing. I have done some fun effects in ID tech 3 and 4, and Unreal 2004,UDK. Looking forward to playing with C2's tonight!

Thanks for the help 8)
