DOOMFire is a fire effect inspired by the classic DOOM game, implemented in Go. This project showcases the power and simplicity of the Go language combined with the Ebitengine, an easy-to-use gaming library with a vibrant community.
Note: Some operating systems may restrict the execution of binaries downloaded from the internet for security reasons. Please consult your operating system documentation to learn how to enable DOOMFire to run.
export CGO_ENABLED=1
go run ./main.goOr you can build the binary and run it:
export CGO_ENABLED=1
go build -o doomfire ./main.goDOOMFire leverages the Ebitengine library to render a dynamic fire effect on your screen. The fire's intensity is calculated using a palette-based approach, simulating the classic flame propagation seen in the original DOOM game. The application continuously updates the fire pixels, creating a mesmerizing and nostalgic visual effect.
Then the fire is rendered on a transparent window, allowing you to see the fire effect on top of your desktop or any other application.
We welcome contributions to enhance DOOMFire! Whether you're fixing bugs, adding new features, or improving documentation, your help is greatly appreciated.
