Task
Forest fire
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
This page uses content from Wikipedia. The original article was at Forest-fire model. The list of authors can be seen in the page history. As with Rosetta Code, the text of Wikipedia is available under the GNU FDL. (See links for details on variance)


Task

Implement the Drossel and Schwabl definition of the forest-fire model.


It is basically a 2D   cellular automaton   where each cell can be in three distinct states (empty, tree and burning) and evolves according to the following rules (as given by Wikipedia)

  1. A burning cell turns into an empty cell
  2. A tree will burn if at least one neighbor is burning
  3. A tree ignites with probability   f   even if no neighbor is burning
  4. An empty space fills with a tree with probability   p


Neighborhood is the   Moore neighborhood;   boundary conditions are so that on the boundary the cells are always empty ("fixed" boundary condition).

At the beginning, populate the lattice with empty and tree cells according to a specific probability (e.g. a cell has the probability 0.5 to be a tree). Then, let the system evolve.

Task's requirements do not include graphical display or the ability to change parameters (probabilities   p   and   f )   through a graphical or command line interface.

AutoHotkey

This implementation uses AutoHotkey's pseudo-arrays to contain each cell. The size of the (square) map, probabilities, and characters which correspond to burning, tree, or empty can be edited at the beginning of the script. <lang AutoHotkey>

The array Frame1%x%_%y% holds the current frame. frame2%x%_%y%
is then calculated from this, and printed. frame2 is then copied to frame1.
Two arrays are necessary so that each cell advances at the same time
T=Tree, #=Fire, O=Empty cell
Size holds the width and height of the map and is used as the # of iterations in loops
This will save the map as forest_fire.txt in its working directory
======================================================================================


Size := 10 Generation := 0 Tree := "T" Fire := "#" Cell := "O"


--Define probabilities--
   New_Tree := 5
   ; 20 percent chance (1 in 5). A random number will be generated from 1 to New_tree. If this number is 1,
   ; A tree will be created in the current cell 
   Spontaneous := 10
   ; 10 percent chance (1 in 10). A random number will be generated from 1 to Spontaneous. If this number is 1,
   ; and the current cell contains a tree, the tree in the current cell will become fire.

This example puts all of the forestry logic into a Thread class. This allows the UI to remain responsive while the Thread does all the work in the background.

Sinclair ZX81 BASIC

Requires 16k of RAM.

In essence this is an enhanced version of my ZX Spectrum implementation (see below). The main improvement is that this version shows the ages of the trees: the age is represented using 0 to 9, then A to Z, followed theoretically by the special characters £$:?()><=+-*/;,. (in that order) and only then cycling back to 0. Realistically, no tree is likely to live that long.

The subroutine at line 1000 takes a number N and returns its inverse-video string representation as I$.

A couple of other notes on the listing:

(1) some characters need to be entered in Graphics mode, which is accessed using SHIFT9. I have represented this using square brackets: so if the listing says [ROSETTA CODE], you need to go into G mode and type ROSETTA CODE (which will be displayed on the ZX81 screen in inverse video). As a special case, [a] means for you to go into G mode and then type SHIFTA. The ZX81 character set does not include either square brackets or lower-case letters, so I hope this convention will not lead to too much confusion.

(2) this program differs from most BASIC examples on Rosetta Code, but resembles most real BASIC programs of more than about 20 lines, in that the line numbers do not always go up smoothly in multiples of ten. <lang basic> 10 DIM F$(20,30)

This program sits behind a Windows form with fixed borders, the only component of which is a timer (named Timer1, set to something like 50 or 100ms depending on the speed the user wants to see it). Other constant values (the probabilities and the window dimensions) can be set at the top of the code.

ZX Spectrum Basic

This isn't a graphical implementation, but it uses a bit of colour to make the display clearer. It runs very slowly. The variable init defines the initial likelihood that each square will hold a tree, and can take values between 0 (no trees) and 1 (a tree in every square) inclusive. This can be used to check that the program is running correctly, and using a value of 1 is probably the most dramatic: but it only makes a difference in the short term. After a few generations, any starting configuration using these values of and will end up fluctuating around 20% tree cover—sparse woodland, perhaps, rather than true forest.

A screenshot of the program running can be found here. <lang zxbasic> 10 PAPER 6: CLS

Note that I have used an artificially small grid here, and that I ran this several times until I could find one that had a fire from the start. Also, the current revision of this code does not show the starting state, though that would be easily changed.

Also, currently the parameters defining the size of the forest, and the probabilities are hard coded into the program and you need to rerun the program's script when they change.

Finally note that the grid size includes the one cell "border" which are blank. If the border cells are meant to be outside of the represented dimensions, you can add 2 to them (or change the code to do so).

Mathematica / Wolfram Language

Mathematica is good at working with cellular automata -- especially 2-color 1-dimensional cellular automata. The automaton function is awkward yet very powerful. This code implements a 3-color 2-dimensional cellular automaton with 9-cell neighbourhoods using a custom cell evolution function. There is probably a rule number specification that can replace the custom evolution function and make this simpler and faster. But this works well enough. The last line of code plots the state of the forest after the 300th step.

ANSI graphics

Works with: rakudo version 2015-10-04

This version saves a lot of looking around by using four states instead of three; the Heating state does a lookahead to track trees that are being heated up by burning trees, so we only ever have to traverse the neighbors of burning trees, not all trees. Also, by only checking the list of burning trees, we can avoid copying the entire forest each iteration, since real forests are mutable. <lang perl6>my $RED = "\e[1;31m"; my $YELLOW = "\e[1;33m"; my $GREEN = "\e[1;32m"; my $CLEAR = "\e[0m";

REXX

This version has been elided,   otherwise the size of the program (with all it's options and optional formatting) would
probably be on the big side for general viewing, and maybe a wee bit complex to demonstrate how to program for this task.

If repeatable results are desired, the   randSeed   variable can be set to a non-negative integer.

Glyphs were chosen in an attempt to pictorialize a tree   ()   and also a fire   ().

The choice of glyphs within the code page 437   (DOS and/or under Windows) is rather limited.

There is one (OS) dependency:   use of the   CLS   (DOS) command which is used to clear the screen   (the original
version examined the host environment and used the correct command to clear the terminal screen).

<lang tcl>package require Tcl 8.5

  1. Build a grid

proc makeGrid {w h {treeProbability 0.5}} {

   global grid gridW gridH
   set gridW $w
   set gridH $h
   set grid [lrepeat $h [lrepeat $w " "]]
   for {set x 0} {$x < $w} {incr x} {

for {set y 0} {$y < $h} {incr y} { if {rand() < $treeProbability} { lset grid $y $x "#" } }

   }

}

  1. Evolve the grid (builds a copy, then overwrites)

proc evolveGrid {{fireProbability 0.01} {plantProbability 0.05}} {

   global grid gridW gridH
   set newGrid {}
   for {set y 0} {$y < $gridH} {incr y} {

set row {} for {set x 0} {$x < $gridW} {incr x} { switch -exact -- [set s [lindex $grid $y $x]] { " " { if {rand() < $plantProbability} { set s "#" } } "#" { if {[burningNeighbour? $x $y] || rand() < $fireProbability} { set s "o" } } "o" { set s " " } } lappend row $s } lappend newGrid $row

   }
   set grid $newGrid

}

  1. We supply the neighbourhood model as an optional parameter (not used...)

proc burningNeighbour? {

   x y
   {neighbourhoodModel {-1 -1  -1 0  -1 1  0 -1  0 1  1 -1  1 0  1 1}}

} {

   global grid gridW gridH
   foreach {dx dy} $neighbourhoodModel {

set i [expr {$x + $dx}] if {$i < 0 || $i >= $gridW} continue set j [expr {$y + $dy}] if {$j < 0 || $j >= $gridH} continue if {[lindex $grid $j $i] eq "o"} { return 1 }

   }
   return 0

}

proc printGrid {} {

   global grid
   foreach row $grid {

puts [join $row ""]

   }

}

  1. Simple main loop; press Return for the next step or send an EOF to stop

makeGrid 70 8 while 1 {

   evolveGrid
   printGrid
   if {[gets stdin line] < 0} break

Vedit macro language

This macro shows an example of using search in columnar block. Instead of checking all the 8 neighboring cells separately, a search in 3x3 character block is performed to check if there is fire.

Note: In order to display the graphics characters correctly, use DOS (OEM) font such as "Terminal". <lang vedit>#1 = 25 // height of the grid

  1. 2 = 60 // width of the grid
  2. 3 = 2 // probability of random fire, per 1000

  1. 5 = #2+2+Newline_Chars // total length of a line
  2. 90 = Time_Tick // seed for random number generator
  3. 91 = 1000 // get random numbers in range 0 to 999
