foragax 0.0.5

ABM package in JAX.

Foragax is an Agent Based Modelling (ABM) package based on JAX. It provides scalable and efficient ABM simulations by leveraging JAX's automatic vectorization and just-in-time compilation capabilities. The main features of Foragax include:

• Agent manipulation (adding, removing, updating, selecting, and sorting agents) with just-in-time compilation.
• Vectorized ray-casting and wall-detection for simulating agents moving in a continuous 2D environment with custom boundaries and obstacles.
• Tutorials and examples to help users get started with ABM using JAX.
• Familiar ABM interface for creating and manipulating agents.

Installation

pip install foragax

Requires Python 3.10+, JAX 0.4.13+, and flax 0.7.4+
