Epidemic Simulation Help

By: Brendan Bello, Aneesha Manocha, and Megan Wu


In our epidemic model, people roam randomly around the world. Our model shows healthy vs. sick people.

General Info

Healthy people move randomly most of the time. When healthy people aren’t moving around randomly, they are are moving away from groups of sick people. Sick people are moving randomly. While they move randomly, there is a chance they will get better. If a healthy person is next to a sick person, there is a chance the healthy person will become sick. Surrounding the sick people, there is a color scheme to show places of contamination. The redder the color, the higher the levels of contamination. The bluer the color, the lower the levels of contamination.
