Looks great! What got you into firework simulation?

  Thank you! Here in my place, we organize a lot of firework shows for celebrations. Hence my brother-in-law - which is a passionate but not a prefessional - told me, why don't you make a software like that? So I took the challenge! Would you like to contribute? I am actually looking for someone who wants to help me integrate maps from OpenStreetMap into FireShow.

    Wish I could, but I never learned c++! Maybe now could be the time lol Maps are a great idea, and even better if you can incorporate terrain height and obstructions. With a map you could also plot out the safety perimeter. Every jurisdiction is different, for example in my state if I recall it was something like 100' feet per inch of shell size, and the fire mashals would use a wheel to confirm it. A random other thought might be to offer the user estimates for number and length of squib and control cables for the various rack runs

      Great idea adding a safety perimeter!
