A cozy fireplace for emacs.
Download ''fireplace.el'' and place it somewhere in your ''.emacs.d'' directory, say in ''.emacs.d/fireplace/''. Compile the file using ''M-x byte-compile-file''. Put ''(load "~./.emacs.d/fireplace/fireplace") in your init file ('.emacs'). Note that there is a significant performance difference bewteen the compiled and non-compiled fireplace.
You can start the fire using ''M-x fireplace''. The fireplace will try to fill the current window with a new buffer. To put the fire out use ''M-x fireplace-off''.

All variables starting with ''fireplace-'' can be customized. Use ''C-h v'' to read their documentation.
A big thanks to Dan Torop for his emacs animation guide and Vasilij Schneidermann for the xbm-life package. The code relies heavily on these two sources.
Please feel free to do whatever you want with this code. Ideas and pull requests are very welcome. I can be reached through johanvts@gmail.com or on twitter @johanvts.
- Get the package into MELPA.
- Group up variables for easier customization.
- Better status bar
- Support using ''kill-buffer'' to turn the fire off.
