Epidemic Simulator

Final project Sofie Budman & Tyler Tachiki AP CS period 5

Background

Welcome to CATCH IT IF YOU CAN!

This epidemic simulator models the spread of a custom-designed virus. See how your virus will spread across the world and see if humanity will be able to respond!

On the next page, you can set virus parameters to control how quickly the virus spreads and mutates and how deadly it will be.

Once you start the simulation, you will also be able to quarantine regions of the world by closing their borders. But beware! Closing a region's borders will cut off key supplies, leading to population decline from starvation.

You will be able to monitor charts throughout the simulation to see how populations are affected by the virus.

Stay Strong!
