+# Forest Fire Simulation
+
+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.
+
+## Features
+
+- 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
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+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)
+
+## Building the Project
+
+1. Clone the repository:
+```bash
+git clone
+```
+2. Install SFML using vcpkg:
+```bash
+vcpkg install sfml:x64-windows
+```
+3. Configure the project using CMake:
+```bash
+mkdir build && cd build
+cmake .. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=[path to vcpkg]/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake
+```
+4. Build the project:
+```bash
+cmake --build .
+```
+
+## Running the Simulation
+
+After building the project, run the executable:
+    
+```bash
+./ForestFireCPP
+```
+
+You 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.
+
+## Controls
+
+- Left-click and drag to pan the view
+- Mouse wheel to zoom in/out
+
+## Contributing
+
+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.
