Fires of Arder

A simulation I'm working on based on firefighting. 

It's straightforward.

LEGEND: 

H - House 

G - Grocery

FS - Fire Station 

R - Road (Do not burn)

A - Ash 

F - Forest (burns longer than open space) 

D - Dry brush (sets fire easier) 

O - Open Space 

! - Fire 

RE - Retardent (does not burn as easily)

White circles - Civilians 

Flashing orange circles - Firefighters

Gameplay:

Civilians move from town to town along roads and from their houses to grocery stores. Firefighters move to and fight fires, often trying to prioritize ones near their fire stations/towns. Fire burns things down and turns them to ash. Ash regrows into forest or open space.

Player commands:

Left-click - start or put out fire

Right-click. place fire station and new firefighters 

Middle mouse - place retardant 

R - reset map

M - reset to metropolis mode

W - Wasteland mode, sets everything to dry brush (set before starting fires)

P - Pause

New features: Metropolis map mode.
