Time for action — using a box emitter

Only emitting from one point is boring, using a box is much more fun.

1. Change the emitter type from Point to Box:

   emitter Box
   {
   

2. Define the box in which the particles should be created:

   height 50
   width 50
   depth 50
   

3. Let the emitter create 10 particles per second and they should move up with a speed of 20:

   emission_rate 10
   direction 0 1 0
   velocity 20
   }
   

4. Use the new particle system. Compile and run the application. You should see that particles are created all around the Sinbad instance and fly upwards.
