Well, here's another work of mine. I came up with the idea for this about a week ago, but the idea of what it'd look like went through several revisions before finally coming to this.

The whole idea of this is a play on the words "climate control." The term is often used as a synonym for air conditioning/heating, but I decided to give it a literal interpretation, actually being able to create/modify the climate of a region.

The interface of this was supposed to be similar to a residential thermostat, though with perhaps a few more buttons. I was thinking about all the geographical factors that might go into determining the climate for a region, and I picked six that I thought could be qualitatively adjusted. As for the preset buttons, I had to go to geography textbooks to find major climate types.

The 58°F that the temperature gauge reads is actually the mean temperature value for the entire planet for all seasons, in all locations, or so I believe. I read it from a book once a long time ago, and the value may have since changed due to global warming.

And for those who don't know, "mundi" is Latin for "earth." I thought it would be fitting.

I like the cleverness of this.
It looks like something that one could use in a PC game where you create a new planet.
The buttons are clever and look very realistic.
