Agents.jl VS ScreenPlay

We mean the standard "agent based model" https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.082080899, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agent-based_model . The kind of thing you'd use Agents.jl for. For example, look at agent-based infection models. In these kind of models you create many individuals (agents) with rules. Each agent moves around, but if one is standing near an agent that is infected, there's a probability of infecting the nearby agent. What is the average percentage of infected people at time t?

Jullia has packages too.

Agent-based modeling looks like an interesting topic, something ripe for fun little side projects. The short (three paragraph) "Crash course on agent based modeling" [1] from the package docs gave me an idea of why ABM is useful, and scrolling through the example model [2] kinda answers what conveniences the package gives me over implementing the simulation myself.

Has anyone here used ABM for a serious project? Fields like economics and sociology are mentioned, but how prevalent is Agent based modeling in those fields in practice?

Are the pieces the agents? I would recommend looking at Collaborative Diffusion for some examples of combining agent-based techniques with game modeling. As for frameworks, check out agentpy or Agents.jl for alternatives that are moreso software libraries that presume knowledge of programming.

I has a look to Julia too. There are nice tools build by JuliaDynamics. I.e. Agents.jl for agent based modeling. It handles collisions. There is also a framework for reinforcement learning. Also for Genetic Algorithms. Then I found a set of libraries related to Geometry. But it seems to be a lot of work to put that together for my use case.

For agent based modelling, you've come to the right place because Agents.jl is great! It has a way to get interactive visualisations from your models, although I haven't used it myself. See this year's JuliaCon talk about Agents.jl to get an idea of what it can do.

I'm always happy to find you have documentation ;). The doc from https://github.com/JuliaDynamics/Agents.jl was pretty helpful to a noob like me.

Here is the issue. Someone already commented saying it's due to a change in InteractiveDynamics.jl and referenced a pull request. I guess all we need to do is wait.

I gave a lightning talk about Godot as a wallpaper engine replacement via ScreenPlay[1]. I hacked this together the week before the convention and I hope to release it by the end of the month.

I found an open source live wallpaper app called Screen play that supports mac, Linux and windows which might be a suitable alternative. https://screen-play.app/

ScreenPlay: ScreenPlay is an Open Source Live-Wallpaper app for Windows and OSX. https://screen-play.app/

Qt/QML? I have been doing cross-platform development with Qt for a few years now [1]. It does have a learning curve, but I do like the split of C++ logic and Qml for the UI. I can recommend the qml book [2].

Here is an alternative - https://screen-play.app/

There is Slate the pixel editor written in Qt/QML. Alternatively, ScreenPlay (Open Source Live Wallpaper) always welcomes contributors :P https://screen-play.app/

That's sounds cool! Are you planning to open source it? I could use something like this in ScreenPlay!

My FOSS live wallpaper app ScreenPlay[1]. Currently working on getting macOS universal binary support working with cmake/vcpkg. Linux (KDE) will be next :)

This would be a cool ScreenPlay desktop live wallpaper ;)

Not with Qt6/CMake/QML. For example, I've been developing a cross-plattform live wallpaper app for the last 5 years alone: https://screen-play.app/
