Fireworks originate from fireworks, and fireworks originate from gunpowder. Gunpowder is one of the four great inventions of China, invented in the 7th century (Tang Dynasty). During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, gunpowder developed into a firework for entertainment. Fireworks are also called fireworks and fireworks. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty has a poem: "The lamp tree is a thousand light, the flower flames seven branches". In the Song Dynasty (960-1279 AD), people at that time could buy a variety of different fireworks in the market, and there were also large-scale fireworks displays. At that time, "shelf fireworks" or "bonsai fireworks" had become quite large. During the Lantern Festival, the high-ranking officials are more beautiful than ever. From shortly after palming the lamp until even more slack. The poet Xin Qiji once said that "the east wind will bloom thousands of trees at night, and the stars are like rain", which is a vivid and vivid description of it. Fireworks in the real world are often fleeting, but they will leave a moment of beauty. This feeling is like bursting out a white beacon in the dark world, guiding the future direction . After one year of development time, I developed a particle engine to simulate real-world fireworks, and added dozens of fireworks to the game. In future updates, we will continue to add new types of fireworks, hoping to bring you A great experience.
