I wasted a little time this week modifying this fireworks simulator program I found on the web. Right now the only output is Pangolin QM2000 because it provided the quickest result to see if this would work.
I also wanted to test my port of the LD2000 SDK .Net header file to C#.
While .Net can be ugly in many ways, it is my fastest means to an end when making quickie test programs like this one.
This video describes it best:

This might work good as a filler for someone doing a 4th of July show.
The sounds are pretty cool when you have the sound cranked.
If you don't have the .Net 2.0 framework, get it here
