Scenarios Overview

In YuLan-OneSim, a Scenario is the core of any simulation. It defines the fundamental rules, the environment, the agents, and the ways they interact within a simulated world. All scenarios are located in the src/envs directory of the project.

What is a Scenario?

Essentially, a scenario is a self-contained Python package that includes all the necessary components to run a specific simulation:

• Environment: The virtual space and rules where the simulation takes place.
• Agents: The participants in the simulation, each with its own behaviors and objectives.
• Actions: The operations that agents can perform.
• Events: Specific occurrences that drive the simulation forward.
• Configuration: Parameters that define various aspects of the simulation, such as the number of agents and the simulation's duration.

YuLan-OneSim provides a rich set of built-in scenarios covering 8 different fields including economics, sociology, etc. You can use these scenarios directly, modify them to fit your research needs, or create entirely new ones from scratch.
