Instructions

Outbreak is a zombie simulation inspired by Conways Game of Life, which featured cell growth and death based on the amount of neighbors a cell had. In outbreak, both zombies and people are running around on screen, with their encounters resulting in the people being infected and turning into a zombie themselves, the people escaping uninffected, or the zombie getting killed. These outcomes very greatly on the amount of allies each party has (if a person has two human neighbors and a zombie only has one zomebie neighbor, then there is a higher chance of that person killing the zombie etc). The following describes what each button does:

• Start- starts the simulation
• Pause- pauses the simulation. You can continue the simulation by pressing start.
• Reset- resets the simulation. Pressing start right after will start the simulation from the beginning
• Customize Simulation- This opens up a modal where you can customize the stastics of zombie human encounters, the chance of someone finding a new survivor, as well of the speed of each phase. Each row in the table must add up to 100, and the survival find rate must be between 0 and 100. When you're finished customizing, close the modal and press start to see your changes
• Add People- pressing this button allows you to add a new person anywhere on the screen while the simulation is running. Click multiple times to add as many people as you'd like.
• Add Zombies- similar to adding people,but clicking this button lets you add zombies instead
