Morning,
I dug out some old code from 5 years ago to clean up and get in working
order. It's a simple agent based model. I have class called Ant which
contains all the ant-like functions.
I have a list that tracks the ants but I did this is a very crude way. I
basically copied and pasted everything in there like this:
ants =
[Ant("Red_1","Red","yellow_food"),Ant("Yellow_1","Yellow","red_food"),
Ant("Red_2","Red","yellow_food"),Ant("Yellow_2","Yellow","red_food"),
Ant("Red_3","Red","yellow_food"),Ant("Yellow_3","Yellow","red_food"),
Ant("Red_4","Red","yellow_food"),Ant("Yellow_4","Yellow","red_food"),
.......]
I couldn't figure out how to populate the list from a user input. Say if
the user wanted 50 Red and 50 Yellow ants. So it's hardcoded at 500 which
is not an elegant solution.
I went back to work on this over the past couple of days but still can't
figure out how to populate the list so I end up with Red_1 then Red_2 etc...
What would be a good python way to do this?
Thank you for your time.
