Fire with WriteableBitmap

Playing around with the new WriteableBitmap class in Silverlight 3 I remembered the time I started with VGA programming in assembler. After a quick research I found this simple algorithm to visualize the effect. I added the interactivity via mouse click and keyboard input to create new fire initiators.
