Prepare yourself against Zombie epidemic
summary
Claim: code can meaningfully explore survival strategies; a working agent-based simulator is available on GitHub and runs fast enough to experiment. Implementation uses a 2D grid environment, synchronous updates, and an S I Z X state machine (susceptible infected zombie dead). The model sets incubation = 2 days by default, lets transitions be toggled, and simulates runs of ~100 days. Tuning via calibration shows that boosting human fighting ability can avert collapse. code on GitHub
