Pressing Space results in the following error message

Acknowledged, I’ll look in to it.

Ok, so the tutorial file is broken, I’ll upload new getting started file with fix soon.

Thank you for the quick reaction! The particle node itself seems to work fine, though I had been similar crashes when trying to plug in a color node into the color input.

It works fine with plugging in an actual gradient node, so it probably is confused if there is just a plain color node instead.

The “Color over lifetime” value in the particle only accept gradient. However I do agree every gradient value should be able to connect to a single color as well. Thank you for reporting in, I’ll add color to gradient conversion in the next update. (may be color-palette and palette-gradient as well)
