What is fireworks?
------------------

A program that displays fireworks on your pc monitor! See fireworks of different
colors! See particles bounce around! If you love staring at the computer
monitor and doing nothing, you will love this program! In other words, fireworks
is a fireworks demo. Enjoy.

I am going to work on a MUCH better fireworks demo (AND I will make a free fireworks screensaver too,) so watch out!

Usage Instructions for fireworks
--------------------------------

Just double click on fireworks.exe! But you can do more than that. Fireworks also supports some command line switches, which are detailed below. You can take screenshots by pressing the F6 key. Press Esc to quit any time.

Source code of Fireworks is also included. You require the
SDL Library (Available at www.libsdl.org) to compile Fireworks.

If you use this program, you are deemed to have read and accepted the terms of
the License below (Don't worry, its nothing dangerous, but do read it!)

Command line Usage
-------------------
fireworks [-w] [-b] [-n number]

Option		What It does
----------------------------
 -w		Runs fireworks in windowed mode.
 -b		Particles don't die when they reach end of screen, instead,
		they bounce around. This produces very spectacular effects!
		I recommend that you try this out!
 -n number	Specify the number of particles used. Example: -n 1
		will show just one particle. -n 1000 will have 1000 particles, but you
		may find that that does not give good results!
