Hello. What would you guys.. or girls? reccomend for an exploding animation such as when a ship blows up in those old galaga games and such.

Currently the ship is a sprite in an ArrayList and when it touches a bullet it JUST dissapears. I would prefer it if it would also SPLODE!

So yea if any of you have some good tutorials on this kind of thing or could reccomend some classes to use that'd be great. Btw, I'm trying to keep the code to a minimal and perhaps may use a Sprite Sheet/Texture Map.



Thanks for any help given whatsoever.
