Wildfire

A spark becomes a front.

Explore a hillside of pines, shrubs and berry bushes. Change the wind, dampen the fuel, or clear a path ahead of the fire.

Shape the experiment

Choose a tool, then drag on the land. Firebreaks remove unburned vegetation.

Changes apply now. Moisture makes new fuel harder to ignite; it does not instantly put out burning trees.

What’s happening in Wildfire?

Fire needs fuel. Here, grass, shrubs, berry bushes and trees feed a fire that can spread across a wooded hillside.

Try this: Pause time and add a full firebreak. Resume and watch the front reach it. Restart with the same seed to compare a woodland without that gap.
