Markets

Visually simulate markets of basic consumers and producers. Built on zig-gamedev. Download from the latest release or build from source.

Random Resource Simulation

demo.webm

• Simulate market dynamics of consumers and producers.
• Consumers move to Producers, get resources, travel home and consume the resources.
• Red means consumer is empty and looking for resources.
• Green means consumer has enough resources to consume.
• Parameters:
  • Number of Consumers
  • Number of Producers
  • Consumers moving rate
  • Consumers demand rate
  • Consumers size
  • Producers production rate
  • Producers maximum inventory
• Data Gathered:
  • Transactions per second
  • Empty Consumers
  • Total Producer Inventory
• To remove a line from the graph, click it's title in the legend.

Resource Editor

editor.webm

• Manually place position of consumers and producers.
• Each producer and consumer grouping has individual parameters.

Variable Parameters

variable.webm

• Very similiar to the random simulation.
• Have input parameters controlled via a wave timeline.
