 * Particle emitter.
 *
 * Emitters store particle data in two forms:
 *  * m_Particles contains the raw data used for the CPU particle simulation.
 *  * m_VertexArray contains the data required for rendering.
 * Particles are rendered as billboard quads, so the vertex array contains four vertices
 * per particle with different UV coordinates. The billboard position computation is
 * performed by a vertex shader.
 *
 * The number of particles is a constant for the entire life of the emitter,
 * to simplify the updating and rendering.
 * m_Particles acts like a ring buffer, so we don't have to worry about dynamically
 * allocating particles. If particles have variable lifetimes, they'll exist in the
 * array with alpha=0 until they're overwritten by a new particle after the maximum
 * lifetime.
 *
 * (It's quite likely this could be made more efficient, if the overhead of any added
 * complexity is not high.)
