1. Click the green flag to start a wildfire simulation. 2. Trees will grow in random places on the screen. 3. With each step of the simulation, there is a chance for a fire to start at a random location. 4. Fire will spread to nearby trees that are touching the fire. 5. Fire will move in the direction of the wind. Adjust the wind_speed variable in the program to make the fire move faster or slower. 6. "Rain" will appear in random locations and extinguish fires. 7. Experiment with the fire_probability variable and watch what happens to the size and frequency of the fires. Here is a version of the simulation that only simulates one fire at a time and counts the total number of burned trees: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1278884485 Here is a version without wind and rain: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1278901171
