Description

Open for contributions!

Now that the Cell Space is released as experimental in Mesa 2.3.0, it would be interesting if we can use it in examples.

Also note that some of the benchmarks already use cell_space, those changes could be ported over:

The approach for this would generally be:

  • Read up on Cell Space
  • Go through the Mesa examples and seek opportunities where the Cell Space could simplify or improve things.
  • Open a Discussion on mesa-examples proposing your changes
  • Implement them and open a PR here

The nuance here being that applying the Cell Space is not a goal to be implemented as much as possible, but a means that could make some model (parts) more elegant, efficient, readable and/or performant.
