UIKit Particle Systems with Open GL ES?

Question

I am making an iOS game using Open GL ES 2.0 and GLKit. Is it possible to use the new iOS 5 UIKit Particle Systems with it? Or am I better off just making my own particle system?

did you implement the particle designer inside glkitview? please post your code here. thnx! — headkit, Jun 11 '12 at 15:50

If your game is based on cocos2d, you can use it's particle system. Otherwise you can still take a look on how the particle system is implemented by cocos2d 2.x which uses OpenGL ES 2.0.

In UIKit you create particle systems by using the QuartzCore framework. For a complete example check out this article:
