Simulating the Evolution of a Zombie Pandemic (Virus simulation) 

You still check these videos!

@@officialzelensky Of course! My videos usually don't get this much attention, and I actually have notifications on for all comments. So unsurprisingly, my phone has been exploding in the last few days, but I still try to read them all.

It deserves every view it has.

@@NamePointer You care a lot about your viewers unlike a lot of other channels! I find this channel simply amazing even though i just found it.

@@officialzelensky I agree!

In the simulation (this is no insult to the creator, these things are hard to simulate) there was no attempt to simulate human behavior throughout a pandemic and in spite of viruses diversifying there was no attempt to show the specification affecting developed immunity by the humans. I will admit my ideas might make an overly dramatic form of human behavior, but as said before simulating human behavior is hard. An attempt is better than no attempt. A few things to add that would improve it: Rather than just an energy system, add a store that the humans need to go to in order to get food (no need to simulate jobs since it would just be another store with extra steps) Have there be a limited amount of food in the store and have the store be refilled every in simulation day. Make the store have just enough food for everyone, but as fear increases give some people a hoarding behavior where every time they go to the store they take more than they need and try to hide in their home with a large stockpile of food. If a person starves at the end of the day they have to get double the amount they needed previously or they die after the end of the second day starving. People with the virus also need food, add 2 new traits: Food tolerance, and Cannibalism. As cannibalism increases the amount of food they need to get from the store in order to feed themselves increases, but the amount of food they get from eating others increases. Food tolerance just controls how often they decide to go to the grocery store. Add fear as a response: People don't just keep going about their business when a zombie chases them or tries to attack them, add a fear level to the town that increases as the virus's aggressiveness does and increases as more people get infected or die. Have some people ignore the fear level of the town unless a zombie chases them (have this be a percent chance since some people are stubborn). Adding to cannibalism from the food section, if a human is starving, there is no food in the grocery store, and the town's fear level is near max, have there be a very very small chance they try and "get a bite" from their neighbor. When they do this have their be a 50/50 chance that the neighbor either kills the cannibal or the cannibal kills them. Also add other crimes like thievery where a starving person will try and steal food from other people with food in their homes or carrying their food home. Add specification of the virus, a virus will specificate when it's mutations increase their values by a total of 1

@Mogim Thank you for the interesting suggestions. I will definitely implement some if not most of them if I ever decide to create a second part!

@@mogim815 it’s still fairly difficult though, as different countries have almost completely different views If you take two people from across the world and introduce them to the same simulation, they may have the same response, but it’s more likely they have completely different views on how to progress based on how they were taught and raised. All we can rely on factually when it comes to human responses is what the brain biologically reacts with to specific actions, or what actions the majority of the human population takes. We’re far too complex to just state what actions people will take. It’s different saying a population of immunology professors, to a population of people who couldn’t afford education, it would be completely different results. If you were to say a simulation of the “average human” what does that define ? Because in the end, taking an average means taking the education and treatment and views of the governments + citizens of every population, including those who don’t believe in such and those with families that believe against things. It’s just too difficult to say “the average human will react with ___” when it comes to anything besides extremely simple things such as “the average human will react to sickness with seeking treatment”. Of course this is just my analyzation and I’m only a high schooler so I may be off, but this is what I can understand at the moment.

@@heccinsianna I get what you're saying, but maybe it might be best to simulate behavior this way. Each human has a needs list which they will try to fullfill according to their personality traits; The needs they must fullfill are as follows: Basic needs (what they need to survive), Social needs, Recreational needs, and finally ambition needs (what they want to do with their life). Personality traits as I mentioned before should go on a scale from one extreme to another; The ways these will affect how the person goes about their needs would be like this: 2 people need to buy a house, the ascetic chooses a cramped apartment while the materialist chooses the best they can afford. I may not have the best ideas either since I'm in middle school, also excuse any spelling mistakes, I'm using my phone to type this.

@@NamePointer Second part !! Please

That actually does look like the case, seems to be a bit of an oversight

And aggresiveness at some point dropped below zero

Same, I myself search for decent quality animations regarding this subject but find few. This guy is criminally underrated!

I run into Minecraft videos on RU-vid shorts.

@@razzberytman some of those can include a lot of work put into them but others look like they completed it in two minutes

I'm late but I feel the same!!

I was searching for this comment ILMAO

@@chuchuguau9944 IM SORRY HEL

Hi

Part 2 pls

lol

Not but really why dave there on the thumbnail

you didn't need the tonetag. its pretty fucking obvious its a joke.

@@cynb05 idk if i did

or make the humans evolve too, to fight the viruses

lmfao

IKR LMFAO

lol i think were the only ones who noticed dave

nope

Ye

Also its legs model dosent match dave's legs

Oh ok

Thanks! A new project is in the works, but I'm super busy with school and stuff so it'll take a while

“Tommy” HIS NAME IS DAVES FUN ALGEBRA CLASS

recovered project

Thank you! Well luckily, it looks like it has already happened, as this video is on track to become my most popular one despite being over a year old!

That doesn't exactly simulate evolution, but cool idea though.

@@orangerthings8234 No, but it simulates the evolution of a Zombie Pandemic, which is in the title. The virus simulation portion would still remain intact, it's just adding more realistic factors that can affect the spread.

P Ok no
