Animated fireplace on DOS

[@TonyJewell0]

This is like asmr for retired c programmers like myself. Really enjoyed this. Thx.

[@terrydaktyllus1320]

Thank you. As someone who does quite a bit of Bash and Python programming and "occasionally dabbles" in C, this was very informative and useful.

[@freedosproject]

You're very welcome!

[@MaxUgly]

The last few months of python studies allow me to actually follow this video. Thank you, this one is getting saved!

What a great project. FreeDOS is so fun.

[@ahmad-murery]

Once again, the blue screen of happiness. What a nice way to start a new day. Thanks Jim!

[@freedosproject]

Thanks for watching! I'm glad you liked the video.

[@SusanAmberBruce]

Lovely to watch your program progress

[@MrJmvprivateer]

This was great! I wish I had more time to play with FreeDOS. Its just ready to draw things to the screen at the drop of the hat. Modern graphics things mean I have to pull up X calls or whatever. I like how simple this was. Thanks for sharing and Happy Holidays!

[@freedosproject]

Thanks! The simple programs are the best. And I liked this one because it walks through everything, including tests and debugging along the way.

The rug… is on FIRE

[@Stefan_Dahn]

As I remember back 30 years ago, programming a bit in Turbo Pascal those days, it is possible to re-program the "pixel-appearance" of all 255 ASCII chararters in the VGA. So you could create 255 different "flame" characters pixel by pixel - so you would have more details and choices available. Just an idea. 😉 Greetings from Germany.

Very enjoyable video, thanks!

Should do full screen fire effect.

[@freedosproject]

That would be cool! I was generating a small fireplace but it's easy enough to expand 'cols' to run this across the whole screen, from 1 to 80.

[@MaxUgly]

It would be cool to see people run with this. Even slight different shades of green dependent on the fire for some lighting effects. It's such a tempting rabbit hole but promised myself to stick with python and actually 'finish' or get half proficient with something in life... Thanks for the awesome demo! First video about c (or any compiled language for that matter) I didn't feel lost watching!

[@sirgalahamtroskipero4872]

Very nice video! Very interesting and useful. Thank a lot!

[@helmargesel3972]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@anon_y_mousse]

Neat. I'll have to try this next time I'm playing around with FreeDOS. I can see using this in an ASCII text based game.

[@JavisoGaming]

This was awesome! Thank you!

[@eugenetswong]

Thanks, Jim!

[@nightwintertooth9502]

Should really consider a particle system and a render function. This can be done such much better but it is a good start when learning so i appreciate it for what it is

[@johnrickard8512]

I'm installing it now in QEMU. I hope soon to create Notepad++ but for DOS to get my toes wet in computing once again.

[@marccaselle8108]

Question about SBEMU and FREEDOS. I cant get SBEMU to output to just headphones and i cant turn down the volume of SBEMU its always too loud. Is there any way to fix this? Is the intel laptop im using to blame? Until this gets fixed i will not use SBEMU or Freedos anymore.

[@swordofkings128]

Ahhh... all it's missing is joy to the world or something playing through the PC speaker!

[@djsbriscoe]

Have you got any copies of the C files used in these examples? It would save having to type it all in and serve as a test for setting up the dev system. Thanks.

[@freedosproject]

I've shared the source code here: github.com/freedosproject/fireplace

[@ziprock]

this tutorial is fire yo

[@РусланЗаурбеков-з6е]

How nostalgic ))))

[@NotKyleChicago]

Are 14 and 6 the same RGB, just different intensity? 14= 1110 and 6= 0110, so it seems that's the case, but I've not studied C, so I'm not sure.

[@freedosproject]

You got it! 14 and 6 are the same RGB color, but with different iRGB intensities. I did another video on the channel about why the DOS colors are the way they are, which also explains why 6 is "brown" (or "orange") instead of yellow.

Nice. 👍

[@smileynetsmileynet7922]

Something of these color capabillities, might someday make its way into my language, PNF.

[@jacobwerner8533]

Ill have to try that c compiler sometime. i tried pacific a while ago, but i think it uses an old c standard.

[@freedosproject]

I like using OpenWatcom C. I also love IA-16 GCC.

[@tubeDude48]

It can't find :fed" or "wcl". I installed the full package. I used edit, is that OK?

[@freedosproject]

If you installed FreeDOS 1.3, both Fed and OpenWatcom C should be installed if you install everything. But they are not added to the path by default (because you want to be careful about environment memory). If you run the OWSETUP.BAT file, that will set up your OpenWatcom environment. I already added Fed as an alias on my system (I did another video on the channel about setting up my development environment)

[@misterpopo3736]

the channel has a video on how to put apps like fed in the path

[@tubeDude48]

@@misterpopo3736 - I'll check that out. Thanks!

[@GalileudoLinux]

Very good Best regards, GalileudoLinux.!
