Installation

Simply download this repository and place wherever convenient on your machine.

Requirements

This code was developped under Linux (Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS) with R v4.0+. Rust and xdg-utils are required. To install on Ubuntu, run

sudo apt-get update -y
apt-get install cargo
apt-get install -y xdg-utils

Usage

Create simulation output files with Python code or C++ code. The programs will create output text files with vigilance means over generation times (vigilance_out.txt), resources change (resources_out.txt) and individual movement (exploration_out.txt) over ecological time.

You can request visualization directly from the above programs if this repository is downloaded inside their root, or run the present R code animate-sim.r to obtain animated visualisations of the evolution of vigilance (vigilance_out.gif) and individual movement and resources on the grid (grid_out.txt).
