Basically you just choose a nice palette, average out the pixels in a horizontal line, then move them upwards. As each line goes further up, the pixels end up being blended with darkness so they die out and it looks like pointy flames. Nice simple effect actually. By adding an offset from the old pixel to the new pixel, you can move the fire about, make it wobble etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Why pamper life's complexity, when the leather runs smooth on the passenger seee-eee-aaat? http://www.greenaum.demon.co.uk/
