Shall I explode other planets? Dave, make a suggestion. Which would you 
prefer? ;-)

Oh, I do not have the Mars image for the image_map. Can you provide it 
to me, or is it confidential? :) Could it be? I am from Austria, so I do 
not know...

First one I could find on Google
http://planetpixelemporium.com/mars.html

You can get the lower resolution ones for free also the Moray site has
all the solar system planets zipped in the download section.

Very nice but a couple of points. Should not the Earth be rotating the
other way? And is that the Earth that you blew up? :)

You are right, but that is artistic freedom. ;-)
Yes that is the earth that I blew up.

Or the earth I blow up looks like our earth but it is fully different. :-

I have an other question:
Does any one know the source code of the explode.inc?

What I want to do is to simulate a gun shoot to a glass window. As you 
know the glass shall fragment to a direction, e.g. the shoot comes from 
+x direction the glass fragments to -x as a main direction.

Can anyone help me to modify the include file so that I can use an extra 

variable like particle_maindirection=-x and the particles are fragments
 
in this direction?

Thank you,
Reinhard

Reinhard, I don't think there is a binary so there will be no source
code. Just the include files Explode.inc and ExplodeG.inc. Reading the
html file it looks like the variable "exp_location" is what you want
to use. I've never used the include file so have no experience of it.
Quote:
This specifies the vector location of the explosion, and determines
the direction in which the particles will move after the explosion,
eg. making this the same as the object_centre will explode the
particles outwards in all directions, while placing this below the
object will explode the particles upwards. By default this is located
at the origin.
