How to Run

Use the drawing tools to create your world. Add healthy trees, fire, aerial firefighters, and a counter. After your world is set up, press the triangle to start the simulation and press the square to stop it.

How to Change Parameters

In the simulation properties box, you can adjust the percent chance it takes for the fire to spread, how long it takes for the fires to turn from healthy to dead, the percent chance that a tree will burn on contact with fire, and the percent chance that an aerial firefighter will put out a fire.

Screenshots

As time passes on, the number of healthy trees decrease, while the number of burning and dead trees increase. After some time though, once the population of the burning and dead trees are the same, the population of burning trees decreases while the number of dead trees increases.
