Complex system simulation #28

Open emilyriederer opened 4 years ago

emilyriederer commented 4 years ago

I've done discrete event simulation previously, but never with open-source packages like R's simmer package or python's SimPy. Additionally, I know rOpenSci has a number of good new packages for working with NetLogo in R for agent-based modeling.

I don't have a specific project in mind, but I'd love to brainstorm potential projects and explore some of these packages as a group.

There's an R package focusing on educating people on discrete simulation called simEd. I got to attend a workshop with the creators and it seems pretty awesome! https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/simEd/index.html

Also, I went crazy yesterday when I saw this tweet: https://twitter.com/AndrewM_Webb/status/1236274167437197320. So as a push to force myself to go through the packaging process, I made a minimal package to reproduce the simulation. https://github.com/beemyfriend/RPSimulator

Hey @beemyfriend . Thanks so much for the links! I'd never heard of simEd but really like what I'm seeing, and your RPSimulator package looks amazing! What a cool idea. I was also taken by that tweet so long how you've made it interactive
