MMM-Fireworks

[chrisfr1976]

Hello,

unfortunately even more optimizations were necessary. So I update the repository.

New:

• hides all modules during animation
• suspends all modules during animation

Reduced effects:

createExplosion(x, y) {
        const particleCount = 25; // was 50

this.particles.forEach((p) => {
            p.x += p.vx;
            p.y += p.vy;
            p.vy += 0.01; // less gravity
            p.alpha -= 0.01;
        });

    setup() {
        this.canvas.width = this.width*0.95 //reduced width 
        this.canvas.height = this.height*0.95 //reduced height
        window.addEventListener("resize", () => this.resize());
    }

• And updated CSS to be in the middle of the screen again.

Hopefully you’ll celebrate this, too!

Worked for me earlier when I tested it this afternoon.

Hello!

great idea, you module !

but does it really work ? it does not appear on my mirror, after installing it.

Can you please re-check on your side ?

Thanks in advance and have a good evening,

Cédric

@com1cedric what position did you set it to?

[chrisfr1976]

@com1cedric see my answer on GitHub. It only starts if the start time is exactly now or in the future.

[sdetweil]

@chrisfr1976 why would you want it in the past?

oh, and NOW is impossible to catch

[chrisfr1976]

@sdetweil no, the start time is relevant. If the start time is in the past and the effect time may be stll okay like 3652460601000, the effect does not start. This could be the problem here. So you really need to wait for the defined time in the config.
I‘ve spent several minutes with waiting….

[sdetweil]

@chrisfr1976 if the start time is in the past and the event time is in the future, then the start time should be now. (however that gets calculated, literal or adjusted offset…)

I am not looking at the doc or code

I have completely reworked the MMM-Fireworks module!

New:

• It is now using the p5.js library. So it is now faster and I’ve added more config options.
• Also the timing problem ist solved. You can define a start date and time. If you need to restart your mm inbetween it continues.
• you can install it today and enjoy on next new years eve. (The JavaScript’s setTimeout is solved here (has a maximum delay roughly 2³¹–1 milliseconds - only 24.8 days)
• Added a text overlay
• runs as before in fullscreen but also “in a box” as every other module
• And the best: the explosion effect is now really nice!
