This C++ project simulates the spread of forest fires using a cellular automaton model. It provides a visual representation of fire propagation in a forest environment, taking into account various factors such as wind speed, direction, and different vegetation types.
- Interactive grid-based simulation
- Customizable simulation parameters
- Real-time visualization using SFML graphics library
- Different vegetation types (Normal Forest, Dry Grass, Dense Trees, Water)
- Wind speed and direction influence on fire spread
- Zoom and pan functionality for detailed observation
To build and run this project, you'll need:
- C++17 compatible compiler
- CMake (version 3.28 or higher)
- SFML library
- vcpkg package manager (recommended for easy SFML installation)
- Clone the repository:
git clone- Install SFML using vcpkg:
vcpkg install sfml:x64-windows- Configure the project using CMake:
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=[path to vcpkg]/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake- Build the project:
cmake --build .After building the project, run the executable:
./ForestFireCPPYou will be prompted to enter simulation parameters:
- Probability of fire spread (0.0 - 1.0)
- Probability of spontaneous ignition (0.0 - 1.0)
- Wind speed (0.0 - 1.0)
- Wind direction in degrees (0 - 360)
- Water ratio (0.0 - 1.0)
After entering the parameters, press Enter to start the simulation.
- Left-click and drag to pan the view
- Mouse wheel to zoom in/out
Contributions to improve the simulation or add new features are welcome. Please feel free to submit pull requests or open issues for bugs and feature requests.
