The ancient DOOM fire animation in the terminal!

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)

You will need:

git
a c99 compiler (gcc or clang)

# 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!

I'm bored
