Creating a particle effect is just too much fun without sharing it. The objective was to create a simple spark-like particle effect. We will render each spark as a small line that gets transparent with time. Some basic physics will be involved, but I will keep it simple. The final result is seen on the image below. You can download the source code here: wp7.particles (SkyDrive, 26 kB). Please note that the default orientation for this sample is landscape.
