Tim Walsh, the present President of Ilda, wrote a program a few years ago to do ballistic based fire works. You might drop him a email.

You can probably find more examples of fireworks ILD files on the FTP server as well...

Indeed, I wrote a program to generate fireworks, but that was on the LD400 system years ago. Using it is out of the question, unless you fire up the old Amiga! Even then....

I still see the ones that I gave to Pangolin for their library in use in many shows. I have seen much better fireworks since then from a variety of sources. How about the Lightspeed library included with Pangolin? They wrote a great particle generator program, they probably generated a lot of fireworks and put them in their library.

oh if LaserBoy only had a scripting interface (python, tcl, or even proprietary)

I have a scripting interface! It takes text files and converts them to ilda frames, is that good enough?
