asciifire burns your terminal, but only 80x25 area. You can change color and/or update interval, or cycle through all five colors through the command-line options.

python asciifire.py -t 1 -d 200000
Itd be a nice screensaver if it can fill entire terminal size, but it doesnt, unfortunately. I attempted, but I failed, but now as I staring at the GIF above, I seem to see the pattern of how it was coded. I can see the fire is shifting to the left with slight changes to each column of fire.
