I think this firework simulation in blender also looks nice:

Oh yeah, that's nice. Actually, it reminds me one of my geometry shaders
in GLSL that can build my field in real time, usually 50-60 fps. The
shader starts from points in a field, then builds the lines in real time
on the GPU.

It was a coding exercise in 1985, on a Commodore 64,
to result little shooting and exploding fireworks,
in 8 bit color and 8 bit sound.

One of the coolest little kits was the radio shack micro setup,
it had about 20KB in a unit the size of a pack of cigarettes
and a little micro keyboard, connected to UHF on channel 2, or 3.

About 1987.

Pre-dated the Apple Newton about 10 years, about 1/10 the cost.

Especially the micro keyboard.

About 1986 is was a lot of fun to make screen-savers
with Turbo Pascal on the Apples.

Yet, Logo and his Turtle is still a thing.


Indeed, Happy 4'th, Happy 4'th of July: Independence Day, U.S.A.

Every time I hear fireworks now, I have nightmares about Hamas.

It is going to be a long night.
