Hm, I was just about to start a BlitzMax particle system but I'd rather spend $10 on yours. The effects are pretty nice.
Some thoughts:
The interface is a real turnoff. I don't like the huge panel of sliders. If you've ever used any of the commercial particle generation software, they tend to group similar options under tabs or expanding menus.
The sliders should update as you drag. It's a hassle to have to guess where to stop dragging then be forced to fine-tune the slider position with the arrows on the ends.
The file dialog should remember the last folder used.
Drag-and-drop would be nice.
The project looks pretty good so far, let me know when it's done and I'll be one of the first in line.
