Project description looks good to me

In terms of initial requirements, I would maybe specify that the requirements are for an MVP at the beginning- or maybe mention aspects of the program that we intend to expand towards after creating the mvp

I think parts such as the random spawning of agents would make more sense as a design decision when you consider that this is the bare minimum requirements.

In the “stochastic spawning of agents” section, I think the part that says

Due to the simplicity of the initially required map, there are no areas of interest for the agent to have a weighted probability to travel to.

could be a bit confusing- I would say

In the future, we plan on introducing weighted probabilities for certain locations (such as shops and offices) to influence the agent's travel decisions. However, for our MVP, this is considered a secondary requirement and is not a priority at this stage

For User Interaction

• are we planning on having users modify the environment as a simulation runs? or should we have users block roads and THEN run the simulation? I personally think the second is more realistic and preferable, but regardless I would make that clear in the description

For Production of statistical results, I would maybe remove the requirement of “The simulation should have an option to run quickly without visualisation.”

I think this could add quite significant complexity, especially as we’re using a game engine and visualization. If anything, I would include a simulation speed slider- i understand why no visualization could be beneficial but we can have a simulation speed slider for significantly less effort

Overall the section is solid. pls message me if u have any worries or questions about my comments

tomaspremoli1 I will have another look at the run quickly without visualisation, but considering we are making a simulation primarily, I don’t anticipate it being too much work - probably something we should discuss as a team. User interaction would be users block roads then run - good point to specify this. I will look at the other two points also
