Fireworks Simulator Based on an Improved Particle System

Abstract

This paper proposes an algorithm to generate and render fireworks in real-time based on programmable graphics hardware, which divides the queue into several regions to save the time when waiting for CPU, and uses the XML external data and XNA framework to achieve the fast simulation of fireworks. The experimental results show that the algorithm can draw the fireworks vividly, meets the demand of real-timing very well, and has a great scalability.
