Ah particle effects, my FAVOURITE :)

one wat is to define a particle structure which will dictate what you can do
with it, generally it'll store the particles position, it's movement vector
and it's lifespan. Then you create a whole load of these particles and write
functions to spawn them in a certain way and animate them each frame.

Does this make sense?
