  1. it is easy to port a cocos2d particle to cocos2d-x, the API are very similar.

  2. it is easy to design particles with the link above, or ParticleDesigner

The nice this about ParticleDesigner is that it comes with a gallery – which includes something very, very close to what you posted above.

For Cocos2dx 3.x. Below code is working for me.

ParticleSystemQuad* testP = ParticleSystemQuad::create("particle_texture.plist");
testP->setPosition(pos);
this->addChild(testP);
testP->setAutoRemoveOnFinish(true);
