| Hi everyone, Below is a video and screenshot of our weather Engine called Lightning. We're using it in our upcoming game Prague. Youtube Video.  Lightning only models the weather. That's to say, it provides weather information for a given location on a map. It does not actually render any weather effect such as rain,snow, clouds. |

| This looks exciting. What are Elders? They look like alien muppets. |
| ||
| According to the Legend of the Glass City, Elders are beings created by Mother nature a long time ago to ensure the continuation of life on earth. In Prague, you and your 2 Elders will restore the dying village. P.S. I like the term alien Muppets. Some say they look like Gumby. I don't like that too much. LOL |

| even checked out the video. Name confusing though. |

| well if your going to name a game after a town/city its better than scunthorpe ;) |

| This looks interesting, very nice idea. Is the wind also affected by high and low pressure areas? |
| ||
| @Jsp Thanks. Pressure in the air mass is not modeled, just the temperature. The air mass affects the ambient air temp over a surface and vise versa. So eventually when surface and air mass reach thermal equilibrium, the wind will stop. |

| hw do i quote scun.? |

| So eventually when surface and air mass reach thermal equilibrium, the wind will stop. Sounds reasonable good. |

| This is so cool. More games need a similar weather engine. |
