Install

git clone https://github.com/leonard0x/antsim.git
cd antsim
pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

python Simulator.py

• r (record)

• rt (time in seconds to record)

• rs (record every nth step)

• f (filename)

• ac (ant count)

• bs (buffer size) the number of simulated frames which will be in ram at a time

• v (view)

• live (shows the data right away)

Example

python Simulator.py -r -v -rt 60 -rs 5 -f test.hdf5

Simulates for 60 seconds, saves every 5th step to file test.hdf5 and shows it afterwards

Example 2

python Simulator.py -live -v -ac 100

You can also simulate live with the command. this wont save to a file, but display the simulated data right away. 

Viewer

press [space] for play and pause, scroll [up] and [down] to change the view angle. you can also interactively change parameters of config.yml in live mode.

antsim's Issues

static data for phero map and ant positions during one step

During a step it would be useful and more accurate to write to a new array or whatever, so that the order of iterating does not matter anymore. Also this is a viable step to threading.

Settings Datei

coordinate system with only positive values

That would make several calculations easier and faster. For Example circuit world...

make convolve time based
