This is a Python implementation of a single- and multi-agent simulation of the IOTA Tangle, as described in the white-papers.

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.
The code is run and tested with Python 3.6.3 and 3.7 on macOS 10.12.6., 10.13 and 10.14.
Clone the repo to your local machine.
Create a virtual environment for Python 3 with:
python3 -m pip install virtualenv
python3 -m virtualenv -p python3 env
Activate the virtual environment with:
source env/bin/activate
pip's install of pygraphviz is currently broken, thus run the following before using the makefile:
brew install graphviz
pip3 install pygraphviz
Then the used Python libraries/packages can be installed with:
make
or alternatively with:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Run the simulation with:
python core.py
In this file you can also change the configuration of the simulation.
pytest is used for testing.
Run the tests with:
pytest
