rpi-led-matrix-fire

===================

A fire for the RGB LED Matrix built on [oclif](https://oclif.io) and [rpi-rgb-led-matrix](https://github.com/hzeller/rpi-rgb-led-matrix).  

The fire is based on the [»Doom Fire algorithm«](https://fabiensanglard.net/doom_fire_psx/) and the code is heavily inspired by [that random gist I found somewhere in the web](https://gist.github.com/coulix/969b8eebada45ab210fbac1e38555cde).

# About this project

After I finally bought an RGB LED Matrix I wanted to create something awesome with it.  

After it became clear that we needed a medieval lantern for our amateur theatre, which was supposed to go out by magic, I had found my project.  

The whole process of creating that lantern is documented here: tbd
