🌲 Forest Ecosystem: Growth and Predator-Prey Cycle (2D)

A 2D cellular forest simulation where trees grow from seed to seedling to mature tree, competing for light, shaped by fire risk and season. Deer eat young trees while wolves hunt deer, showing a real predator-prey-vegetation trophic cascade and its effect on forest regrowth.
