I invite anyone to come to Richards forum and contribute to the fire library:

I am working on a sample and I would be happy to see your example of a fire animation. (it can be any size, within reason)

Here is a link:

A fire effect:

https://pastebin.com/AkjKJGWD

Scroll the page all the way down until you reach the "RAW Paste Data" section, then left-click somewhere inside that box, press CTRL+A to select all code, then CTRL+C to copy the code onto the Windows clipboard, then paste the code inside the BB4W IDE with CTRL+V.

Or do it your own way smiley

Thanks. I've now modified the program to be frame-rate independent, so that the animation runs at pretty much the same speed whether on slow or fast computers. It also has lower CPU usage:

https://pastebin.com/kFjw5vab

A further (possible) improvement would be to reduce the size of the fire particles as their height increases.

I'll take the opportunity here to re-post this (relevant!) bit of code by Jan Vibe which I converted to BB4W from the original ARM BBC BASIC:

Code:

        PROCanimate
        T%=TIME+5
      ENDIF
      ENDPROC

      REM Code from the BB4W Programmer's Reference:

This version works with BB4W and BBCSDL (tested under BBCSDL Win32 and Android (ARM)).

https://pastebin.com/dp5EhtfJ

The YouTube video linked-to below shows the program running on a Motorola Moto G4 Plus (Snapdragon 617 ARM-basec SoC):

I've modified my program so that the fire has a broader base (the X co-ordinate of each fire 'particle' is normally distributed via the Box–Muller transform):

https://pastebin.com/BdrggHwz

Two further improvements that could be made:

1) Reduce fire particle size with increasing height
2) Use a better colour table :)
3) Apply a smoothing filter

Anyway, I think I'm done with this fire thing for now. It's been fun.

PS. I mentioned Box-Muller transform, here's a quick demo:

Code:
      REM Box-Muller transform demo
      REM See Wikipedia https://tinyurl.com/argkvx3
      MODE 8 : OFF
      ORIGIN 640, 512
      scale = 100
      REPEAT
        u1 = RND(1)
        u2 = RND(1)
        r = SQR(-2 * LNu1)
        a = 2*PI * u2
        x = r * COSa
        y = r * SINa
        PLOT 2*scale*x, 2*scale*y
      UNTIL FALSE

Hi everyone, and a Happy New Year!

I had a play with this. I make no claims that it is any better than previous offerings... but it was fun doing it.

Seems to run OK in BB4W and in BBC_SDL, though rather slower in the latter - you might want to change the WAIT to 5, or even 1.

If you want your flames to go more red at the top, change the "-2*x%" in the green component of the colour definitions in PROCDrawFlame to "-4*x%".

I have thought about converting it to use D3D: then you could blend colours for the triangles, and make them semi-transparent, so you could see the firewood through them. I'm not sure what will happen if I try to rewrite the vertex buffers dynamically - it may cause a spectacular crash... Does anyone know?

Best wishes,

D

Happy New Year to you, too smiley

I like your approach to the quest for fire - seems like clever use of the PLOT command. Amazingly I wasn't aware that PLOT can also be used to draw parallelograms (which you used for drawing the logs). I really am slow to learn. By the way, those logs were too dark on my screen! I didn't notice them until I actually looked for them after I had glanced at the code. Anyway, that was easy enough to fix.

Hi Folks,

Well, I did have a go at doing it in D3D. It's proved harder than I hoped to get nice transparency effects - I can't seem to get it to show the logs through the flames, for example, and I don't think I understand emissivity properly! Anyway, I think the Gouraud shading makes the flames look quite nice, and they DO overlap each other...

Here's the code for the "flames" bit. It requires an FVF file for the logs: I'll post code for that separately in a moment.

At the moment this is written specifically for BB4W, and Windows, since it uses a number of D3D SYS calls. I don't know how to do the equivalent in SDL, but I'd be interested to see a conversion! I presume a lot of the stuff with FVF buffers should be fairly straightforward to convert.

Best wishes,

D

Here's the code for the logs: you'll need my Make3DLib, which I actually keep in my D3D folder: amend the INSTALL address accordingly.

Make3DLib is available in the files area on the groups.io site: if you give me a couple of minutes I'll update the version there to make sure it is the current one.

Best wishes,

D

OK, I've sorted out a couple of things. It turns out the order you render the buffers is critical: if you want things to show through, they need to have been rendered first - at least, when I put the logs in buffer 0 they show through, rather than being hidden. If you change Z(0)=0.8 to Z(0)=0.5, you'll be able to see the flames interleaved with the logs, since the front log is now closer than the flames.

I've also amended the code so that the flames become more transparent (less opaque) as they get higher. I don't know if you like it, but it demonstrates a technique...

I spotted that a problem I'd had earlier was not due to memory within BB4W, but the way I reserved buffer space, so I've removed the HIMEM change at the beginning.

Best wishes,
