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.
So, say the desired COUNT is 50, you could do:
ants = zip(
[ Ant("Red_%s" % c ,"Red","yellow_food") for c in range(COUNT) ],
[ Ant("Yellow_%s" % c ,"Yellow","red_food") for c in range(COUNT) ])
