SpaDES (version 1.0.1)

spades: Run a spatial discrete event simulation

Description

Based on code from chapter 7.8.3 of Matloff (2011): "Discrete event simulation". Here, we implement a simulation in a more modular fashion so it's easier to add submodules to the simulation. We use S4 classes and methods, and use `data.table` instead of `data.frame` to implement the event queue (because it is much faster).

Usage

spades(sim, debug)

## S3 method for class 'simList,logical':
spades(sim, debug)

## S3 method for class 'simList,missing':
spades(sim)

Arguments

sim

Character string for the simList simulation object.

debug

Optional logical flag determines whether sim debug info will be printed (default is debug=FALSE).

Value

• Invisibly returns the modified simList object.
