This is super cool!

I tried using an emitter inside a screen and when I do that, the emitter works, but it seems to completely ignore the warmup_time parameter and always send particles in waves.

Is there a way to use the emitter inside a screen?

Thank you for your amazing work!

Something like this should work

If you add PointEmitter directly to the screen it will mess up the animation since the screen will make a new PointEmitter every time it decides to update itself.

image my_emitter = PointEmitter(count=500, warmup_time=20.0, slice=270)
screen emitter_test():
    add "my_emitter" at truecenter

This worked indeed! I was being foolish :)

Thank you so much for both the assistance and for this cool library!
