What can game theory tell us about how to deal with the zombie apocalypse? I'm not really sure but this is the beginnings of an evolutionary spatial game using agent based modeling that might give us a clue.
At the moment, this is just a fork of some previous game theory simulations I've done, with the addition of a zombie strategy and payoff matrix. The work that needs to be done is:
- conditional strategy updates
- zombies should infect cooperating humans
- zombies should be killed or cured
Fork this repo and then just open index.html in any browser and the simulation will automatically run.
Customising the simulation is easy. Code of note is organised thusly:
/
- assets
- styles.css
- browser.js
- d3.min.js
- simulation.coffee.md
- browser.coffee.md
- index.html
Simulation logic is found in simulation.coffee.md while presentation code and D3.js hacks are in browser.coffee.md. To alter the simulation, edit thse files and don't go touch'n browser.js.
The coffeescript files need to be built and compiled into browser.js. To build, type the following:
browserify -t coffeeify browser.coffee.md > assets/browser.js
You'll need to install browserify and coffeeify if you haven't already.
