You are viewing a simulation where 3 cases initiate an outbreak across a population of 90.000 people.
I started this side project to explore the potential of using C++17 code as the foundation for a Python module. The idea is to develop a simulation program that requires high performance.
The model simulates a grid where individuals move between different states: Susceptible, Incubated (exposed), Infected, Recovered, and Dead. You can use matplotlib in Python to visualize the statistics over time. See examples/visualize.py.
I've learned how to combine C++17 code with Python using pybind11. This setup provides the efficiency of C++ and the flexibility of Python. I also gained experience organizing a project with bindings, stub files, and writing basic CMake configurations to build and expose C++ modules to Python.
This model is mainly inspired by Outbreak.
After building the project with CMake, you can try it out using the Python scripts in the examples/ folder. The module is compiled into a .pyd file (on Windows), which you can import in Python using the helper file examples/windows.py.
This project is still in progress. I'm mainly using it as a learning tool to understand how C++ and Python can work together, how bindings are written, and how to structure a small cross-language codebase.
Have a nice day!
