FastLED Fire 2018 by Stefan Petrick
The visual effect highly depends on the framerate.
In the Youtube video it runs at arround 70 fps.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWMu-a9pbyk
The heatmap movement is independend from the framerate.
The actual scaling operation is not.
Check out the code for further comments about the interesting parts

Nevermind, i got it working.

I've changed the XY finder, and it's working:
uint16_t XY( uint8_t x, uint8_t y) { uint16_t i; if ( x & 0x01) { uint8_t reverseY = (Height - 1) - y; i = (x * Height) + reverseY; } else { i = (x * Height) + y; } return i; }
