pastebin get 4CY4AYj3 fire

q quits, d toggles the character dithering (I think it looks better on, but you be the judge)

works on monitors, just run with "monitor <side> fire"

[nitrogenfingers]

That's pretty brilliant

[SuicidalSTDz]

Wow, I never would have thought someone would do this... Looks great though! (*cough* multi/different color settings *cough*)

EDIT: Why are you standing in front of a furnace? Did that spark your imagination?

[GopherAtl]

Thanks! It looks better in game than in the crappy gif, just for the record.

It's easier than it looks, it's an old-school 2d fire effect that was used a lot back in the 90s.

Also worth noting, it redraws the entire screen every tick, so, uh, not really recomended for smp use...

SSTDz: eh? no furnaces around there. I'm on a platform in the sky, with nothing but smooth stone, a computer, and an 8x4 monitor.

@SSTDz: Actually, in the background (what looks like a Furnace) that's a monitor with fire running on it

[oeed]

Wow.

[Cruor]

Oh my, that is some nice looking fire
Could be cool for a screensaver or silly fake fireplace

[KaoS]

You know it's a good program when someone mistakes it for a furnace.

heh. thanks, all.

Delayed response, SSTDz, if you want to change the colors, there's a couple of tables at the top of the file, dither has the characters used, in order, to shade between colors, and then ranges has the list of color ranges used, in bg/fg color pairs. You can add or remove elements from either table, it will adapt - though if you change the total number of possible values, it will affect the flames.

Possibly a menu within the program to change these values?

Cause that would be so awesome.

I haven't really had a good look at the code, but would this allow you draw a circle and make it 'fade out'. Sort of like a feathering effect on Photoshop.

[Dlcruz129]

This is pretty damn awesome! I might use this as a fireplace or something.

[Cranium]

AMAZING. I put it on my emulator at work, and my coworkers were constantly looking over my shoulder at it, like they were transfixed. You, sir, deserve a standing ovation!

[PixelToast]

looks awesome :3

[Simon]

Wow, I could stare at that for hours

[zekesonxx]

Amazing. I'm totally setting this up with a monitor like a fireplace.
