Thousand Suns is a nuclear war simulation meant to show what today's arsenals can do. In Sandbox mode you strike a target with a given country's weapon, as in NUKEMAP, and see deaths from heat, blast, radiation and fallout. In Thermonuclear War mode, two groups of countries exchange strikes under settings such as who fires first and response time. Arsenals follow the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. Windows and Linux, macOS experimental. Made with Godot. Free, pay what you want.

    NUKEMAP shows what one bomb does to one city. Thousand Suns models a full exchange, with targeting, early warning, missile defense and fallout, made by a solo developer who wants people to take the subject seriously. He states plainly that a real war probably wouldn't unfold as shown and that the arsenal data likely contains errors, which I appreciate.
