    I am looking into ways of spicing up my game visually, but have very
little experience in graphical effects. I know that I should really buy a
book on the subject, but I was wondering if anyone can explain/tell me where
to get information about graphics algorithms. I had a quick look on the net,
but as yet have not found anything which both makes sense and has source
code or an adequate explanation.
    The sort of thing I'm looking for is a fire effect or torus thingy, or
infact any other impressive looking effects. I guess that most of these are
not worked out in real time, but are simple enough clut manipulations on an
image. Any help is appreciated.


        Cheers,

                    Mac
