This code simulates the Infectious disease cellular automaton based on the RWCA model [1,2,3]. It uses GSL for the random number generator and EGGX for graphics.
The updated rules are as follows.
-
Each walker randomly walks around the 2D lattice following the RWCA rule.
-
When a walker comes into contact with an infected walker, it then gets infected and stays at the place. The health point of the walker becomes -n, say -100.
-
The health point of the infected walker was added by one at each CA time step. When the health point becomes -1, it becomes a healthy walker and start to walk around the system.
To compile the code, type 'make' in the program directory.
A snapshot of the system.
Time step evolutions of the number of infected walkers (purple) and healthy walkers (green).
