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

I wish UA-cam 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 :)

Hey! Sorry for the wait, but it's a pretty long video, so it took a while to finish :D
Leave a like if you enjoyed 👍
Hi
Part 2 pls
2:23 nah man, that's dave
/j
you didn't need the tonetag. its pretty fucking obvious its a joke.
@@cynb05 idk if i did
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 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
made human wih guns or military untis
or make the humans evolve too, to fight the viruses

nah what happened to Dave in the thumbnail
What is dave doing there
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.
Ayo why is Dave there
Hello, *dave!*
NO WAY DAVE CAN WALK
What dave doin💀
That's your best video yet in my opinion! Very clear and instructive
Bro why theres dave
This has to be my favourite UA-cam video all year :) bravo 👏 wish I found this sooner!
You, sir, are extremely underrated! You’re so cool!!!
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.
5:24 i like how he just says that he wrote a *”simple code”* and then shows us a page longer than most of my essays
2:21 hey look, its dave
lmfao
IKR LMFAO
Tommy be lookin like he about to rap battle a blue haired boy
the zombies evolving to be hyper fast was funny af lol
(a bit scary though)
This was an amazing video and I actually learned something. You should have more subs.
Im subscribed now! This channel is amazing!
Omg u deserve more subscribers ur vids are so interesting!!
This quality is insane dude!
You DEFINETLY deserve more since most youtubere (such as fynnpire or blitz) since you do unique videos and you dont scream
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
11:00 the zombie apocalypse where humans die from a zombie randomly stumbling into you because of its insane running speed xDD
At 16:28, the exhaustion tolerance is literally of the charts, also you earned the sub
I just found your channel and I’m super impressed. I’m looking forward to seeing what else you make in the future.
Thanks! A new project is in the works, but I'm super busy with school and stuff so it'll take a while
I love this! Things like this are great. Definetly a subscribe!
Yes plss make a part 2 this is very cool keep it up
Outstanding! Wanna see the second part.
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
Really good video, keep up the good work ;)
(tw: dave and bambi)
dave
lol i think were the only ones who noticed dave
nope
Ye
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!
Wow this was a really high quality video!
Really love the video!
what did dave do to you
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.
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!
I subscribed just because i wanted to help this channel
Can't wait to see this get more than a million views!!
part 2! i loved it
Very nice! Kept me interested all the way till the end. Great work!
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
Great video!
Awesome, we need MORE!!!
Pretty cool. UA-cam needs more videos like this
Great video bro
The dude in the thumbnail looks like Dave from the Dave & Bambi mod from FNF.
Tommy is actually dave
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.
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.
Great work! I cannot fathom how much time this must've taken to code.
good vid its interesting to see how people can react with viruses
dave is looking kinda hungry
amazing video :)
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.
Do a part 2! please!
I agree you should make more videos like this
I'm late to the party, but great work. What applications are you using? I'm definitely going to go through your backlog.
Very interesting!
New sub, very godo video and program
Wow, that was a very interesting experience.
Human density and the R0 value would be informative to display in the next stimulation. Also incorporating social distancing X human density.
Please do more videos like this

Part 2 please. edit I just realized this is 2 years old. I subscribed. I will see what you’ve added. Thanx.
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....

Ok no
HOLY SHIT ITS DAVE
I would like to see a part 2
if you haven't made a part 2 yet you should make one and maybe add some things like stores where the virus could get stuck and spread more easily

yes i want a part 2 please how about people fighting back or running away from the aggressive zombies
In this zombie apocalypse zombies run and cough at you.
3:23 « everyone seems happy and no one dies, so nothing particulary intresting here » 😭😭
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
This is so interesting. With the first modifiers with pain and such, it literally just becomes the harran virus from dying light and its virals
