I want to make an explosion effect with a particle emiteer: The particles should be released all at once; not even that many, 10 or 20 say. Thus no continues release of particles.

Think of the explosion of a new years rocket.

All the examples unfortunately release particles continuesly.

It’s like [game objects/particle emitter/emit from shape](https://labs.phaser.io/edit.html?src=src/game%20objects/particle%20emitter/emit%20from%20shape.js) but add `on: false` to the emitter config.

It was the ‘explode’ function that I’ve missed.
