Source code in the lua programming language

-- ForestFire automaton implementation
-- Rules: at each step:
-- 1) a burning tree disappears
-- 2) a non-burning tree starts burning if any of its neighbours is
-- 3) an empty spot may generate a tree with prob P
-- 4) a non-burning tree may ignite with prob F
