Prepare yourself against Zombie epidemic
summary
Uses an agent-based model implemented in minimal Ruby on a 2D grid with four-direction neighborhoods to simulate a 100-day loop of individuals. Agents hold S→I→Z→X states with an incubation example of two days from infected to zombie, simple actions (work, stay, fight), and stochastic bite probability. Validation checks include an all-susceptible baseline and SI-theory convergence; calibration varies unknown parameters to match observed outputs. Shows quarantine walls and increased fighting ability as tested interventions and links code on GitHub.
