fire

The ancient DOOM fire animation in the terminal!

what?

fire is a remake of the PSX DOOM fire animation in the terminal, as seen in the ly display manager. It's described nicely by Fabien Sanglard on his blog.

where?

supported platforms

Linux (musl/glibc) (tested and supported)
Windows (should work, but not tested)
(Dragonfly|Net|Free|Open)BSD: (not tested, might work)

building from source

You will need:

git
a c99 compiler (gcc or clang)
gmake (bmake is untested, but might work.)

Retrieve the source:

$ # via git:
$ git clone https://github.com/lptstr/fire --recurse

Build:

$ make

and install:

# make install

Uninstall, if you wish:

# make uninstall

how?

$ fire                     # no args for default animation
$ fire -h                  # help message
$ fire -Rw0 -f100          # matrix effect
$ fire -l2 -w2             # small fire with wind blowing east
$ fire -Rw0 -f1000000      # california animation
$ fire -t -l2 -f3          # truecolor!

why?

I'm bored
