Week 1
Week 1
Challenges:
I struggled with make a fire simulation in Unity. Wildfires are hard to predict and simulate, especially in Unity that has no native fire simulator. I spent a significant portion of this week researching wildfire patterns and looking for Unity guides.
I struggled with identifying the right contacts and getting their contact information. Following that, sending cold emails and waiting for responses was daunting
Lessons
This week, I learned to remain persistent while awaiting responses from the contacts.
Since this is my passion project, I also have to manage my time carefully. I learned to balance this project with SAT prep, volunteer work, and my internship.

Challenges:
Getting Unity to work, particularly the fire spreading simulation.
