363+ ### [ Hanabi]

366+ _ Hanabi effect entirely simulated on GPU thanks to the new Expression API of v0.7_
367+
368+ The [ Hanabi] library ([ GitHub] [ hanabi-github ] , [ docs.rs] [ hanabi-docs ] ) is a
369+ modern VFX library for the [ Bevy game engine] [ bevy ] . It focuses on scale to produce
370+ stunning visual effects (VFX) in real time, offloading most of the work to
371+ the GPU (compute shaders), with minimal CPU intervention. The design is inspired
372+ by modern particle systems found in other industry-leading game engines.
373+
374+ This month, [ Hanabi] saw its biggest release so far.
375+ Version 0.7 of Hanabi not only brings support for Bevy 0.11,
376+ but also adds a whole new Expression API
377+ to provide a new level of customizing for VFX authors.
378+ With expressions, developers can combine simple building blocks
379+ like simulation parameters (` time ` , ` delta_time ` ),
380+ effect properties (user-defined variables controlled from CPU),
381+ and math operators (` add ` , ` mul ` , ` cos ` , ...),
382+ to directly modify each attribute of a particle (position, velocity, ...)
383+ and form complex behaviors with complete control.
384+ The expression API complements and extends the existing ` Modifier ` -based workflow
385+ to achieve even more complex effects.
386+
387+ This release also marks a major stepping stone
388+ toward the ability to build a visual editor (node graph)
389+ to build and tweak visual effects in real time.
390+
391+ Other changes include the ability to set a screen-space size for particles,
392+ and a new ` KillSphereModifier ` to confine particles
393+ to the inside or the outside of a sphere.
394+ See the [ CHANGELOG] [ hanabi-changelog ] for all details.
