Prepare yourself against the Zombie epidemic
summary
An agent-based model implemented in Ruby simulates zombies on a 2D grid (demo uses a 10×10 map and runs ~100 days) with four states: susceptible, infected, zombie, dead. Updates use synchronous updates and state transitions include bite → infected → zombie after a delay, fighting with probabilistic kills, and quarantine/obstacle experiments. Validation and calibration are described; example runs show trained teams and barriers improve survival. Code and examples are available on GitHub.
