Forecast Casting Booth

A Tokyo weather reading becomes the casting rule for a parade of fictional strangers competing to survive one absurd outdoor scene.

Creation: creation_4d2fe0d1559208b685801abb383886f9
Player action: Choose a scene mode, audition the current stranger, then summon a new candidate and watch the weather rewrite their role, score, and stage effects.

Novelty delta: Weather is not displayed as a report; it acts as a game master that rewrites how each live-drawn person can win the same absurd audition.

Causal chain

1. open-meteoConvert fixed Tokyo temperature and weather code into the audition rules and hazards.
2. randomuserSupply each live fictional candidate whose identity is scored against those weather-shaped rules.

API roles

API	Operations	Essential role
open-meteo	forecast	Defines the persistent environmental constraint that changes scoring weights, scene copy, and visual effects.
randomuser	person	Provides the live-drawn candidate whose name, nationality, portrait, and gender become the playable audition subject.

Dependency

open-meteo → rules → randomuser: The weather result visibly determines which costume trait, movement style, and survival stat the newly drawn candidate is judged by.

Interaction

Controls: scene mode selector, audition candidate button, summon new candidate button

Outcome: Each action reshapes the stage, recomputes the candidate score, and reveals a new weather-dependent casting verdict.
