DOOMFIRE

Test your TTY's might!

demo

The doom-fire algo can push upwards of 180k a frame - results may vary! It is, to my surprise, a nice TTY stress test.

As a comparison, this is the younger sibling of a node variant ( https://github.com/const-void/DOOM-fire-node ).

INSTALL

Tested on OX Sonoma 14.5 / M1 w/zig 0.13...

EDIT: Now tested on Artix Linux - links against libc to get the size of the TTY.

EDIT: 2024 - Now tested with Windows - Win32 Compatible, thank you @marler8997!

This means that the program does rely on libc, this shouldn't be a problem.

$ git clone https://github.com/const-void/DOOM-fire-zig/
$ cd DOOM-fire-zig
$ zig build run
...

Results

  • iTerm.app - ok
  • kitty.app - great
  • Terminal.app - poor -- seems to drop framerates
  • VS Code - great
  • Warp - great
  • Alacritty (artix linux) - great
  • Powershell/CMD
