Once again today, we met with Dr. Aziz and Leah to review the work we had done last time. This time, we went over individually what we could do to improve our models and went over several mathematical formulas that could improve the realism of our work. I was suggested that I could implement an aging system to the simulated fungus in which the enzymes they produce decreases the longer they’re alive, which I added. I also tried swapping around the values in the equations for the temperature slider I added last time. I suck at math, so it took me an hour to figure out, but I eventually got it. I also tried to make it so the simulated glucose is able to randomly move around the model, but after much experimenting, I was unable to figure it out. I eventually just turned to googling the answer and was able to piece together the process, shown below, from several different pages. In each patch, or in each small part of the simulation, it causes a random amount of glucose to move to a random nearby patch each time the simulation progresses. We were told by Dr. Aziz that next week, we will be working mainly independently, and he will only check in with us once or twice.
