PYROTECHNICS
is a pixel-perfect fireworks generator you play with one finger.
Tap anywhere in the night sky to launch a shell. Peonies, willows, brocade crowns,
crackling crossettes, shape shells, and ear-splitting salute reports bloom across a
city skyline under a field of stars — every burst snapped to a crisp retro pixel grid.
When you're ready to show off, hit FINALE for a music-synced Star-Spangled Banner
spectacular that spells out HAPPY JULY 4TH in fire — then record it to a video and
share it anywhere.
== WHAT IS IT ==
A self-contained pixel fireworks toy. No download, no install, no accounts — it runs
right in your browser on phone or desktop. Tap the sky and make the night beautiful.
== FEATURES ==
- 20+ real firework shells — peony, chrysanthemum, willow, palm, dahlia, brocade crown,
crossette, comet, ring, pistil, horsetail, spreader, strobe, and the loud white-flash
SALUTE / report shells.
- SHAPE & TEXT shells — hearts, stars, smileys, and words written in fire.
- A full SHOW EDITOR — pick a shell, tap the sky on a timeline, and compose your own
choreographed display. Save, load, export/import as JSON.
- Music-synced GRAND FINALE — a chiptune Star-Spangled Banner (lead + bass) drives a
salute-heavy finale that spells out HAPPY -> JULY -> 4TH.
- Record your finale to a VIDEO (.webm, with sound) and share it on social media.
- Procedural sound — every shell has its own boom, crackle, or report. Toggle MUSIC and
SFX independently.
- Scene controls — buildings on/off, star density, and a twilight-to-midnight sky slider.
- Pixel-perfect — everything renders on a retro pixel grid. Crisp at any size.
== HOW TO PLAY ==
- TAP / CLICK the sky to launch a firework.
- TYPE — choose the shell (or RANDOM / INFINITE).
- COLOR — pick a palette or pin a single color.
- SIZE & SCENE — shell size, buildings, stars, and sky darkness.
- EDIT — open the show editor and build your own display.
- FINALE — sit back for the full music-synced anthem show.
- MUSIC / SFX — toggle the soundtrack and effects.
== TIPS ==
- On desktop, the menus open beside the canvas so you can keep playing.
- Press FINALE, then REC FINALE VIDEO in the editor to save a shareable clip.
- Build a show, hit SET AS FINALE, and the FINALE button plays YOUR show.
