Zombie Infection Simulation. (via Blogdex) This little program is also brought to you by the same guy who did the Food Battle Monkeys. This particular simulation, however, is a lot more interesting. I was looking at the source code and being very confused, but I was wondering if other parameters could be tweaked, such as speed at which infected and uninfected are moving, how many times an uninfected person could come in contact before becoming infected, etc. It has not escaped my notice that this could be used as a simulation for a disease spreading in the body or a disease spreading throughout a population. What I would definitely like to see is an addition of "zombie slayers" (that is, the equivalent of the body's immune system or a bunch of doctors and researchers finally finding a vaccine) and see what happens in the simulation. Would the zombies still overwhelm the normal population, would they be eradicated, or will there still be some holdouts hiding in the corner?
