Simple way to explode blocks

This is an easy way to create an illusion of blocks exploding using a slices of structs that contain fade, color, rectangles and movement direction. Pressing SPACE key will create a slice of smaller blocks with random directions that fade away. Once the timer ends then it will reset and create more blocks. View on Github

Moving polygon triangles

This demonstrates the use of rl.DrawPoly for creating a line of moving triangles, direction can be changed using the W A S D keys. This represents a much easier approach for drawing triangles that change direction than using rl.DrawTriangle and should be considered as the method of choice in some cases. View on Github
