I Built a Real-Time Zombie Outbreak Simulator Using Uber’s H3 Spatial Index and Web Workers
Mohid Dastgeer has developed a real-time zombie outbreak simulator using Uber's H3 Spatial Index and Web Workers. The simulator is designed to handle thousands of geographical zones in real-time while maintaining a smooth user experience. It employs a custom SIZD model to simulate the dynamics of a zombie apocalypse in a detailed urban environment.
- ▪The simulator runs at 60 FPS and incorporates real-world city structures and road networks.
- ▪It uses a background Web Worker to manage the simulation state and process data without freezing the UI.
- ▪The SIZD model replaces traditional pandemic models to account for the unique characteristics of a zombie outbreak.
