• see https://github.com/koffol/SETI/issues/1 for best suggested parameter combination
• tools.py and vis.py need to be in the same dir as SETI.py (the main body)
• run SETI.py with desired parameters. This dumps the multi-D "galaxy" array into a file at certain frequencies set by either dt_log or colonization_fraction
• vis.py is to visualize the array using different modes of plot_part_gal function

======================================= SETI.py output file formats:

"strategy+starting point""kyr from the start""colonized percentage" strategy: inf :spherical wave sing: particle-to-particle starting point: 1: R0 = 0 2: R0 = 8kpc Kyr from the start: in static colonization cases, these are chosen to be ~500Myr and ~1000Myr after the ~50% colonized fraction reached

======================================= Modes of colonization:

Spherical wave (tools.col_inf2):
    active colonization front
    non-active colonization front (only one colonizer)
Particle-to-particle (tools.col_sing):
    active colonization front (a particle turns into an active colonizer as soon as captured and stays active) 
    non-active colonization front (the actuve colonizing quality is passed on to the newest captured particle)
