PYGAME FIRE
Trying to animate a fire , using python game platform , pygame. I got the fire 'to life' by combining together 16 different sketches or 'sprites'. The primary plume and the wood being the static parts while the other smaller portions of the flame being in repetitive motion. Black is used as background for best contrast.

The 'effect' is created by motion of the 14 sprites both in horizontal and vertical axis and the variation of the colour. Not often 16 different pieces are sewn together to form an animation in PyGame.
Some tweaking has to be done with the various parameters in order to 'liven-up' the fire.

Root of the flame should be stable and stationary.
Proper colouration to be done - transition from vermilion red to golden yellow. Individual tips of the flame should have more natural and wavy flickering.
Please add and show.
