I was trying to put the scale of the 2023 wildfires in Canada (169,836 km2) in context for a European friend, and discovered that the burned area is equal to almost exactly twice the size of Austria (83,871 km2).
been working on my #canadianwildfires macintosh system 6/simearth style game for the past few weeks, and got terrain generation going.
can now procedurally generate terrain, which will act as the substrate for the forest, plant and animal life that lives on top of it.
also implemented fire lookout towers! these reveal the areas hidden by a fog-of-war. of course, they cost money to build, and pay the yearly salaries for the lookouts stationed there π

It is September in the North, just 1000km south of the Arctic Circle, and wildfire smoke is so bad people can't get back home. Our world is literally burning. We set fire to it and some people don't even want to admit the matchbook exists.
