I want glow like effect after the bullet fires from the gun. If whole solution will not possible then provide starting point for me so using that I can go ahead because I am new to andengine. After bullet I want to create a line shadow that create like effect similar to missile launch. Please help me to come out of this.

-1 Have you tried? This is not a tutorial site. – Anko May 22 '12 at 9:31

-1, This doesn't fit the site, you don't indicate that you've done any research, and it's too broad, and want us to simply give you a sample. – William 'MindWorX' Mariager May 22 '12 at 17:51

This is called a lens flare. I'm not sure if there is a prebuilt way to do it with the andengine, but its quite simple - Just quickly show (and randomly rotate) a textured plane with a lens flare texture on it after firing, right at the barrel of your gun.

Good luck :)

Thank you for your response. After research I think, I have to use pointparticle to create effect like shadow so sir provide guidance about that. – Siddharth May 22 '12 at 10:54
Note: its not a 'lens flare', I kinda got the terms mixed up in my head from not dealing with them for a long time. see Byte56's answer – Aralox May 24 '12 at 1:38

Actually, a lens flare is produced by a very bright light source and is purely an real world optics "defect". A muzzle flash would be produced by a gun. This can be produced with a semi transparent texture drawn over the tip of the barrel of the gun. But I'm not sure what a "line shadow" effect is or how it's related to a missile launch.
