I recently entered a small programming competition in which one had to write a simulated firework show in 3 days.
This is my entry: (here) (run NewEve.exe), it's more or less a minute long.

I thought it might be of interest in this forum, i also thought i could get some nice feedback on the fireworks (what should i change, or what i did right).

Btw, Happy New Year to all!

Very nice work Overflow - What did you write it in?

Good work on the sim, I liked it so much I tried to turn into a screen saver on vista by changing the exe file to scr it did work but no sound or loop.

Maybe you could tweak it and make it a UKPS screen saver?

Glad you liked it!
I wrote it in C++ using the allegro library.

I'll see what can be done, shouldn't take long.

Here it is: http://www.mediafire.com/?mj3iid2jzlg

Basically i've embended the sounds in the executables, made it loop, and abort on keypressed or mouse movement.
