Public Member Functions
	VParticle (const VParticle &src)
virtual void	Update (float dt) override
virtual void	Reset (float x, float y) override
virtual void	OnEmit ()
	Particle specific behaviour when emitted. (Nothing by default).

Public Member Functions inherited from VBase
virtual void	Destroy ()
	Destroys object and any data that must be destroyed.
virtual void	Kill ()
virtual void	Revive ()
	Revives the object by setting both alive and exists back to true.

Public Attributes
float	Lifespan
	The length of time the particle is active.
float	Age
	The current amount of time the particle is active for.
sf::Color	Tint
	The current tint of the particle.
sf::Vector2f	Scale
	The current scale of the particle.
VRange< sf::Vector2f >	ScaleRange
	The scale range that is set from VEmitter.
VRange< sf::Color >	ColourRange
	The colour tint range that is set from VEmitter.
VRange< float >	AlphaRange
	The alpha range that is set from VEmitter.
Public Attributes inherited from VObject
sf::Vector2f	Position
	Position of the object.
sf::Vector2f	Size
	Size of the object.
sf::Vector2f	Last
	Position of the object on the previous frame.
float	Radius = 0
	Radius amount for Circle Collisions.
float	Angle = 0
	Angle of object.
float	AngleVelocity = 0
	Velocity of rotation.
float	AngleAcceleration = 0
	Acceleration of rotation.
float	AngleDrag = 0
	Drag of rotation.
float	AngleMax = 10000
	Maximum Velocity of rotation.
bool	Moves = true
	If true, updates the objects position and angle.
sf::Vector2f	Velocity
	Velocity of movement.
sf::Vector2f	Acceleration
	Acceleration of movement.
sf::Vector2f	Drag
	Drag of movement.
sf::Vector2f	MaxVelocity
	Maximum velocity of movement.
sf::Vector2f	ScrollFactor
	The amount the object will appear to move when the camera scrolls (1.0f = Scrolls as fast as the camera, 0.5f = Scrolls half as fast as the camera). Good for parallax scrolling.
float	RotateFactor = 1
	The amount the object will appear to rotate when the camera rotates (1.0f = Rotates as fast as the camera, 0.5f = Rotates half as fast as the camera). Good for parallax scrolling.
float	ZoomFactor = 1
	The amount the object will appear to scale when the camera zooms (1.0f = Scales as fast as the camera, 0.5f = Scales half as fast as the camera). Good for parallax scrolling.
float	Elasticity = 0
	Bounciness of the object (0 assumes no bounce)
float	Mass = 1
	Mass of object in comparison to other objects in world.
float	Health = 100
	Standard health value (object dies if health is <= 0 when modified in the Hurt function)
bool	Immovable = false
	If true, the object will not change its velocity on collision.
unsigned char	Touching = SidesTouching::TOUCHNONE
	Which sides are currently touching (is reset on each Update call!)
unsigned char	WasTouching = SidesTouching::TOUCHNONE
	Which sides on previous frame were touching (is reset on each Update call!)
unsigned char	AllowCollisions = SidesTouching::TOUCHALL
	Which sides are allowed to check collisions for.
bool	CollisionXDrag = true
	Useful for moving platforms.
Public Attributes inherited from VBase
bool	active = true
	Base can be updated using Update if true.
bool	visible = true
	Base can be rendered using Draw if true.
bool	alive = true
	Helper member that is mainly used filter out behaviours to objects which aren't alive in the scene.
bool	exists = true
	Base can be updated and rendered if true, else it would no longer be treated as being part of the scene.
VType	type = NONE
	Base object type, typically set in the constructor of an inherited object to specify what type it is.
uint32_t	RefCount = 0
	Counts the amount of times the object is referenced in groups, ensures an object is only destroyed when no longer part of a single group.
