COVID 2008 sim

• 

  Infection sample

Inspiration

The COVID-19 lockdown has been going on for quite some time, so why don't we see what could happen over the course of one week in a highly populated city where there is no lockdown. This simulation is modeled after the New York Times _ one nation tracked _ article and the endless slew of other COVID simulations.

What it does

Format.py process the initial data files before transferring them to simulation_2.py which then calculates interactions. PyGame_2.py displays the data from simulation_2.py with pygame.

How we built it

With python, pickle and pygame. Pickle is used to read and write .pkl files.

Challenges we ran into

Speed, the code is unoptimized, so, we pre baked simulations to display.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Displaying the simulation, nobody in the group knew how to use pygame at the time.

What we learned

Time complexity matters, nested for loops is not a good idea.

What's next for COVID 2008 sim

Adding more datasets to display and making the simulation algorithm better/faster.
