🔥 Fire Doom Simulator 🔥

by FranciscoCharles

An interactive Doom fire simulator with a simple options menu developed in Python + Pygame. In this project it is possible to change the amount of fps, flame decay, wind direction, wind force and make it possible to change the colors of the flames in the HSL(hue, saturation, lightness) color space, in addition to allowing to turn on/off the flames.

back to indice

The program has 8 adjustable options and allows you to use the Q key to turn the fire on/off. The options currently available are:

• FPS:
  • option to control the SPF, ranging from 10 to 60.
• Decay:
  • option to control the intensity with which the flames lose strength, varying from 1 to (1-amount of colors available in the color palette).
• Wind direction:
  • option to control the wind direction, having 3 modes: right, left and both.
• Wind force:
  • option to control the wind force, ranging from 0 to 10.
• Color intensity:
  • control option to change the color palette, varies from True to False.

The options below can only be changed if color intensity is True.

• H:
  • option to control the H component (hue) of the color, ranging from 0 to 360.
• S:
  • option to control the S component (saturation) of the color, ranging from 0.0 to 1.0.
• L:
  • option to control the L component (brightness) of the color, ranging from 0.0 to 1.0

How to use the options menu 🕹️
