[Blog] Heat up your shell: A cozy fire in your terminal

Wish for some warmth during those cold days :snowflake: ? We’ll explore how to model a fair‑looking animated fire and draw it in the terminal using Scala :fire: Expect some lightweight math and probability for the modeling and obviously Scala scripting for the implementation

Beginner friendly yet should appeal to users of all levels :smiley:

Nice work! I do like the presentation of your blog post, could learn a thing or two from that.

One nitpick - said blog post refers to scala to invoke fires.sc, but I had to use scala-cli to actually execute the code as a script and not get a syntax error.

Anyway, good luck with your consulting career. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Thanks a lot for the kind words I appreciate :smiley:

Regarding scala-cli, if you have Scala < 3.7 it was not yet the default runner, maybe that’s why ? In any case I added a small notice in the article. Thanks for the feedback !
