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.
- Current code implementation: mesa/experimental/cell_space
- Original PR: https://github.com/projectmesa/mesa/pull/1994
- Original discussion: https://github.com/projectmesa/mesa/issues/1900
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.
