Vicsek 🐦🐦🐦

This is an implementation of a (modified) Vicsek model for flocking behavior.

It is implemented in Rust and will show an animation.

Locally

Just start it with cargo, (you can get it at, eg., rustup.rs):

cargo run --release

On Debian you need to first run:

sudo apt-get install libxcb-render0-dev libxcb-shape0-dev libxcb-xfixes0-dev libxkbcommon-dev libssl-dev

On Fedora Rawhide you need to run:

dnf install clang clang-devel clang-tools-extra libxkbcommon-devel pkg-config openssl-devel libxcb-devel gtk3-devel atk fontconfig-devel

Web Locally

We use Trunk to build for web target.

1. Install the required target with rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown.
2. Install Trunk with cargo install --locked trunk.
3. Run trunk serve to build and serve on http://127.0.0.1:8080. Trunk will rebuild automatically if you edit the project.
4. Open http://127.0.0.1:8080/index.html#dev in a browser. See the warning below.

Web Deploy

1. Just run trunk build --release.
2. It will generate a dist directory as a "static html" website
3. Upload the dist directory to any of the numerous free hosting websites including GitHub Pages.

🐳 Docker

If you are running Linux and have an X server installed (if you do not know what this means, it is probably true; XWayland does also work), you can also use the provided docker container:

docker-compose build
# this is needed to allow access to your X-server from within the Docker container
xhost +local:
docker-compose up
