Epidemic Environment Simulation

This is an Epidemic Environment Simulation. This is a simulation that shows the spread of a disease with no vaccine on humans over many days on a visual grid. All humans start as uninfected except for 1 human from each age class (Child/Adult/Elder). Humans may move each day and the infection will spread based on age/distance from the infected/if the virus was previously had.

Uninfected: Can't spread the virus, suseptibilty to obtaining virus depends on if it was previously had

Incubation: The time between virus contact and symptoms. Capable of spreading the virus, can only turn symptomatic/asymptomatic

Symptomatic/Asympotmatic: Capable of spreading the virus, can die or turn uninfected again

First, The user will set the population of each demographic. Objects of the humans will then be placed in a 2D vector like a grid. The enter button will allow the user to proceed one day. At the end of each day a grid will visually appear showing each person's location, then on the side stats will appear showing how many are infected from each demographic and the entire population as a whole, and out of those infected it will show how many are asymptomatic, symptomatic, or dead because of the disease. Each day the objects on the grid will move by one grid space. An object has a chance of getting infected by another object if it is 1-2 grid spaces away (the infection chance will decrease with distance and age).

This is an executable file and the simulation will show in a terminal.

Controls

• SPACE: Continue to next day
• ESC: Exit program
