1. Click the green flag to start a wildfire simulation. 2. Trees will grow in random places on the screen. 3. A fire will start in a random location. 4. Fire will spread to nearby trees that are touching the fire. 5. The fire_size variable will display the number of trees burned in the fire. Do an experiment: how does the fire size change depending on the total number of trees and how close they are? Here is a version of the simulation that runs continuously and lets you adjust the probability of fires starting: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1278901171 Here is a version with wind and rain: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1279295801
