A playground of community experiments implementing the classic DOOM fire effect algorithm in JavaScript and other technologies like Canvas, PixiJS, Rust/WASM, and embedded C. It serves as an educational collection of simple pixel-based fire propagation demos.

Use cases

• learn how the doom fire effect algorithm works
• recreate the fire effect from doom in javascript
• experiment with canvas pixel rendering techniques
• find examples of fire particle effects for games
• study webassembly and pixijs rendering demos
• port the doom fire algorithm to embedded devices

When to choose

• you want to learn or teach the classic doom fire propagation algorithm
• you want a simple starting point for pixel-based fire effects in the browser
• you want to compare many rendering approaches (tables, canvas, pixijs, wasm, embedded)

When to avoid

• you need a production-ready fire or particle effects engine
• you need a maintained game graphics library with an API
• you need realistic fluid or physics-based fire simulation
