Description

Right now FlxParticles disappear in a very dull manner, like puff, vanish in an instant. It would be much nicer if they faded out or flickered for a given amount of time before disappearing. Is there any reason this feature is missing?
Though it took me very short time to implement this by extending FlxParticle.

Review how particles currently disappear and determine the intended API and behavior for a configurable fadeout or flicker period; completion should include the requested disappearance effect and verification that existing particle behavior remains intact.
