There's a nicer one, it starts low, and grows a bit, it looks fairly
realistic too. It might be what John Gilliver has. I remember it,
there's

where?

If anyone finds it, please sha I'd like to be able to give credit
where due. The file I have - flame.com, 453 bytes - is dated about 1995
IIRR, but that's probably when I downloaded it; I have the feeling it's
older than that. Unfortunately, not least because of the meaning the
word "flame" has gained in newsgroups, it's impossible to search for.

Sounds like a good description. The one the above code produces is
sufficiently similar that I suspect it's come from the same mind.

I have that starministry one, and one that's 524 bytes - from a tutorial

I'm fairly sure I've seen smaller ones.

"Plugh"

(-: - and xyzzy to you too! Showing our age ... I remember playing that
on the university mainframe (Unix) around 1980. (I never actually
finished it - not sure if there was a finish, though I think there was.
I did feed the bird to the snake at one point, which wasn't a good idea.)

IBM mainframe fortran? also 1980.


I do also have a screensaver, called flamer.scr - again, can't remember
where I got it, but obviously based on the same code, though it's 26,624
bytes, probably most of which is the necessary screensaver bits.
Googling for "flamer.scr" seems to find lots of mentions of a file of
that name and 26k, though most seem to be torrents about which I know
little.

Hmm might be worth a go.
