Creates a fire effect on the screen. Similar to my previous DOS fire effect, but for DirectX.
This program will draw a nifty looking fire-like effect on your screen. With a little more programming, you can change the color of the fire, make text burn, and other good stuff like that.
How it works
---------------
This program runs in 256 color mode. It creates a DirectX palette to hold a nifty fire palette of blue->orange->red->black.
black is color 0
blue is color 255
it places blocks of blue color at the bottom of the screen, then filters the entire screen, setting the color to the average of the 4 closest pixels to it
P
PCP
P
thus the color now at C would be (P+P+P+P)/4 then it moves all the colors up one pixel (-1 in the y direction) then it shows the screen
