100,000 views??? So I wasn't expecting that when I uploaded this video OVER A YEAR AGO! Until last week, it was one of my least popular ones! This is crazy! Thank you all so much! I'm probably going to delay the video I was working on for the last few weeks to later as I now feel a strong motivation to bring you a part 2 first, which should hopefully incorporate your feedback and more to create a much more interesting video. Sadly, it's going to take a while as life has found several ways to keep me busy with other stuff... Until then, maybe checkout my latest videos? I hope you'll enjoy them as well! Thank you all once again for your interest, I still can't believe these incredible numbers!
@@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.
You're worried about how scientific this was? On this small scale you demostrate evolution and how different traits will be selected based on enviroment, natural selection, pandimic spread, disease-host relations, immunity's role, theory creation, data gathering and interpretation, testing and model creation... and alot more I can't be bothered to list. Yes, there are things you could have done to improve your model, like making immune people immune to several different generations, but overall this was excellently created and presented. 10/10
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
@@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.
It seems movement speed became so popular despite its cost because it allowed the zombies to speed home and regain energy with barely any downtime while still getting the increased infectiveness of from moving faster while out in the field
I wish RU-vid had more videos like this. I've basically exhausted what I can find for decent-quality videos. Amazing work. Time to watch some of your other videos :)

@@Micha-mj7vg Hey I really appreciate that! I'm familiar with virtually every creator on that list, though I was talking specifically about this style of simulation that I'm obsessed with (that which you started with). Similar to a lot of machine learning videos, too. I've watched basically everything I can find of this style 💀 Again thanks a ton for taking the time to write that, and I hope you can help some other inquiring minds find some of that wonderful content :) There are a couple of channels on there I haven't yet stumbled across.
id love to see a part two with more building such as a work places, stores and such with hidden need values for the characters such as recreation, food, and work with a chain of having to work to go buy food and do recreation. Also you should make it a percentage on how likely they are to go to a hospital and how much infected avoid people minus the aggressiveness i.e. aggressiveness subtracts from their normal avoidance as well as the health avoiding the sick
I like how the guy in the thumbnail kinda looks like dave from a mod for baldi's basics or fnf Also, amazing work! I would love to see more simulations like this! maybe i could use this informationto make my own! Thanks.
I would love to hear more simulations like this! Start by making the humans aware, for the future i would suggest actual human action (such as Virus control, police etc.) But one step at a time
This was an amazing video, you deserve more subscribers and views. I'm happy you got onto my recommended. If you ever do this again, it would be cool if you did a sim where the house were more spread out / bigger map and make so there is a sort of radius where a zombie can see you, the virus would probably turn up the tolerances or movement speed. But I'm really impressed with what you've done already. I might try to learn how to do it.
One of the thing that made Covid-19 so successful is the fact that it caused cognitive impairment. I would love to see a version where people have more complexity. 1. social instinct "I miss my friends" 2. self preservation "I will stay inside as much as possible and avoid people who appear to be infected (visible symptoms). If I am infected I will go to the hospital" 3. empathy "I think I might be infected, I should avoid spreading it / I will try to help the ill to recover" 4. non-social needs "Me hungy... :(" 5. intelligence, a variable that will influence all preventative behavior (can be affected by the virus. may be changed temporarily, or permanently) 6. advanced pandemic prevention techniques "Face mask? Check. Respirator? Check. Face shield? Check. Rubber/plastic gloves? Check. Cut resistant chain-mail gloves? Check. Hazmat suit? Check." 7. misinformation, sometimes people are stupid. Especially those who are cognitively impaired due to a virus (current, or past infection) The virus will be able to change all of these things, and some traits may exist to hide symptoms. It could go far more in-depth than this, but be warned! Implementing all my ideas is likely to take months (especially if you build on them a little, as intended) so this is best as a side project. Not a main project, because you'll get burned-out, and it will potentially cause problems for more important projects. In the event you accept my ideas, and agree to making a more complex version, I look forward to seeing it some time before 2040. (but seriously, take big projects very slow. you have plenty of time, and you don't even need to take every suggestion [including this one] anyways. just wanted to share an idea, I will probably try this at some point.) sorry for the unsolicited essay, and "suggestion" (it turned into something else there lol), -Ya boi Felix :) P.S. Also great video! Need more Primer-style creators. Also don't feel pressured to do any of the things I said here, the scope is a little ridiculous. Also sorry again for the unsolicited essay, this is probably the longest comment I have ever made anywhere on the internet.
this would be a cool, realistic horror movie, people aren't completely turned but have a sudden urge to leave their homes and go to crowded areas to try to infect all they can
Would love to see a more complex simulation in the vein of Human behavior during a pandemic like this, along with a few tweaks to some Zombie behavior. Some suggestions for a more complex but diverse simulation: Food Stashes, such as a Mall, 4-5 Gas/Petrol Stations, a Farm (Energy refill, like the Hospitals in the current simulation) that serve as separate locations that the Humans could choose to go to. Some could be far away, costing more energy to travel to, but could be beneficial as they have more supply. Supply, a new variable added to each of the Energy-refill buildings. Supply goes down the more Humans interact with it, eventually depleting all its Energy-refilling capablities, causing Humans to search elsewhere or die. Hospitals would have the least amount of Supply, but would be the closest to the homes of the Humans. Gas/Petrol Stations would have the third most amount. The Mall would have the second most amount, and the Farm would have an unlimited amount as it has a renewable source of Supply, but being farther away than everything else. Human Behavior: Defensive Strategies, Humans, if smart enough, could board up their homes in an effort to stave off the infection from reaching them. They could also do this to the Energy-refill buildings, causing all other Humans to search elsewhere, showcasing the potential selfishness one might have in a situation like this. On top of this, Humans could potentially injure, weaken, or kill other Humans in an attempt to secure Energy-refill buildings, or to just avoid them getting killed themselves. Human Behavior: Friendships/Groups, Humans, if willing, could become friends with others and form a group. These groups have access to all of the boarded up buildings that any of the Humans in the group have built. This allows groups to control certain Energy-refill buildings. Human Behavior: Isolation, Humans, if scared enough, will not leave their homes to go out and seek energy. If this happens for too long, a death marker will appear above their home signifying that the person inside has died. Zombie Behavior Tweak: Zombies will be attracted to boarded-up buildings, as they are most likely concentrated hotspots for Human activity. Zombie Behavior Tweak: Zombies have a small chance to begin following another Zombie for a certain amount of time, depending on the mutation variable, eventually causing hordes to form and break apart over time.
@@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.
9:42 at the furthest up little Rock in the center of the screen, you can see a group of infected people start killing each other while in a clump. Just wanted to point that out
idk why youtube doesn’t recommend this video ealier but as I see it’s the same for many people here ! Beautiful video it was really cool! I will check your other videos
I‘d love to see part 2 and how defensive measures (e.g. distancing and lockdown) impact the spreading of the virus. To fully assess „lockdown“ you‘d probably have to add a „wealth“ trait that decreases with lock down and influences the energy of the people....
The content! You made such an amazing video, with such a low sub count. That's incredible. Oh, also I love this type of stuff, So you get another subscriber. :D
Not one gene is responsible for the eyecolour but a combination of genes. It's a mistake to think u can switch eyecolour by switching on gene without changing a lot of other aspects!
I'm sorry if I made it seem that way, but I didn't mean to say that these characteristics are defined by one single gene, it's of course more complicated than that and I fully admit that I don't really understand most of it.
Nice video! I would like to see some counteracting AI (government) that can control some behaviors of its population, similar to a lock-down or keep the agents at distance and so on, to see how this turns out - but you probably can't use a NEAT algorithm for this AI, unless you simulate multiple versions of your environment for each time step and generation of this counteracting AI. Anyway can't wait for a part 2!
Imagine if at this very moment while you're watching this video... some (divinity) was simply doing the same thing with us... human beings... I realize that the more we go forward with simulations, the more I realize that the chances of being part of some kind of simulation or that the universe itself is part of something similar... should not be dismissed
do the people run away from the zombies? also maybe the people should have an aggressiveness variable that gets a random value when the simulation starts. if the aggression is higher than the infected's aggression, maybe the people don't run, *they fight.*
Maybe we could get people could have a genetic virus fear(name pending) trait, those with high virus fear would quarantine if they got the virus, limiting the spread but making it so that they would not be able to be treated for wounds at the hospital(include virus traits that injure people so this actually matters). Those with low virus fear would be not quarantining so they would spread the virus more but be able to be treated at the hospital. I know it's not very realistic, but I think it would be cool. (I'm not sure how hard that would be to code since I've never coded on a very large scale before, but using my limited coding knowledge I've tried to make it as simplified as possible.)
In this reality Humans don’t fight or react back. So realistically in order for the simulation to work you NEED the human ai to be aware of the virus. Also in real life humans have more businesses and shops meaning their traffic is much more complex. And if this is just for a basic civilization or any species viruses also have preferred habitats and choose humans who indirectly provide those habitats through what’s required of them in life like headphones(ear infection), Eating disorder(Stomach virus/Other Stomach parasites/ Bacteria), crazy cat lady(Cat given disease that typical targets mice rather then people), People that can’t cook well(Meat infesting Parasites&Bacteria), people that work or live in hot humid places (Any type of infection in concealed areas beneath clothing), People in areas where disease can’t be treated in hospitals(From cuts, or just untreated common illness).
Then there is temperature, terrain, the ability to use machines for movement, isoation upon detection comlex food & machine production chain, individual learning, research, the ability to spread information and a wide disparity in the ability to fight back (10 grandpas with wheelchair vs 10 guys in a tank ) and changes in psyche altering the behaviour. But good luck programming all of that...
You are so good at simulating, if one of your videos hopefully get blessed by the algorithm, all the people that watch your video will want subscribe emediately.
Hey! Thanks for the feedback! Bad news: I use RU-vid Studio :/ Good news: I'm not doing this to grow exponentially, because I would be doing something else instead (these videos take a really long time to make), I do this because I'm proud of my projects and want to share them with others. I've stopped showing/talking about stats to encourage people to subscribe, I agree that's stupid, but I do like to remind people to subscribe just once or twice in the video, because many actually don't think about it if you don't, and I'm always saying that you should only subscribe if you want to see more. I actually don't mind having a majority of unsubscribed viewers, as I only want subscribers that actually like to watch my content regularly. Once again, if I was doing this for the fame/money I would be doing something else.
Great video, have another subscriber! It would be interesting to have a separation between traits of healthy and infected individuals. Eg a healthy person might have a higher pain threshold (fear of catching the virus). Great work though 👍
Just stumbled upon this at random, and wanted to chime in that excessive sweating can lead to electrolyte imbalances and dehydration either of which can kill you. So sweating should have an "injury" level too.
