Well I solved it partially in my SDL-implemented particle system. It
does however require that the animated objects and values can be
evaluated for any point in time at anytime, that is, it must be
evaluatable at not just the present clock value but also past and future
clock values. This does put some restrictions on how dynamic the system
can be though. For example, settings and values in the particle system
cannot be dependent on data that the particle system generates itself.
But it still certainly is better than being restricted to completely
static emitters.
