The objective of this simulation is to recreate a simplified closed-system micro-economy for the user to witness how wealth flow carries out given the specified economic rules and parameters. The user will eventually have the ability to set initial setup parameters and rules, and then will have the ability to tweak the simulation parameters during the execution of the simulation. The end goal is to have all rules and parameters recorded in a database along with their performance ratings with respect to sustainability, efficiency, and maintaining high equality indexes. These recorded parameters along with their performance ratings would then be subjected to genetic algorithm computations where new sets of rules and parameters would coalesce to be tested out again for their performance ratings or fitness levels. Continuing this process we would be able to evaluate what (simplified) economic system approach theoretically would be the most optimal economic strategy.

Instructions:

First you need to upload the files on a hosting server in order to run it, since HTML5 localstorage does not work when your running local pages using your browser.

After you have uploaded the files simply enter the url pointing to the setup.html file.

It should look like this: http://alphazemerge.com/dev/setup.html

Note: I took out the image files since they were bought on istockphoto and cannot be redistributed.

****************************************************

Files that comprise the simulation:

setup.html - Setup input variables for simulation, initializes all the local storage data.

run.html - Frontend html displaying simulation results and acccepts user input. (VIEW/CONTROLLER)

simulation.js - Javascript accompanying run.html to render the frontend. (VIEW/CONTROLLER)

engine.js - Logic of the simulation, local storage data is altered and computed here. (MODEL)

az.css - Style sheets for the simulation. (VIEW)

The Alpha Zemerge Micro Economy (AZME) simulation is a web based application that aims to recreate a simplified closed-system micro-economy for the user to witness how wealth flow carries out given the specified economic rules and parameters chosen by the user.
