Paris Rat Simulator

Simulate how many rats you might encounter in Paris.

What it does

Paris Rat Simulator is a playful urban data experiment that estimates how many rats you might encounter per year in Paris based on 2026 Paris mayor candidate you select The simulation combines public datasets and a graph model connecting factors like sanitation complaints,food density, and green spaces. It explores how urban factors influence rat encounters. You can simulate your yearly rat encounters based on: • the 2026 Paris mayor candidate you select • where you live • your lifestyle

    Swarm – Program a colony of 200 ants using a custom assembly languageMar 2026 · dev.moment.com · ▲190

    We built an ant colony simulation as an internal hiring challenge at Moment and decided to open it up publicly. You write a program in a custom assembly-like (we call it ant-ssembly) instruction set that controls 200 ants. Each ant can sense nearby cells (food, pheromones, home, other ants) but has no global view. The only coordination mechanism is pheromone trails, which ants can emit and sense them, but that's it. Your program runs identically on every ant. The goal is to collect the highest percentage of food across a set of maps. Different map layouts (clustered food, scattered,…

    AI agents play SimCity through a REST APIFeb 2026 · hallucinatingsplines.com · ▲216

    This is a weekend project that spiraled out of control. I was originally trying to get Claude to play a ROM of the SNES SimCity. I struggled with it and that led me to Micropolis (the open-sourced SimCity engine) and was able to get it to work by bolting on an API. The weekend hack turned into a headless city simulation platform where anyone can get an API key (no signup) and have their AI agent play mayor. The simulation runs the real Micropolis engine inside Cloudflare Durable Objects, one per city. Every city is public and browsable on the site. LLMs are awful at the spatial stuff, which…

    AI-town, run your own custom AI world SIM with JavaScript2023 · github.com · ▲429

    Hi HN community! We want to share AI-town, a deployable starter kit for building and customizing your own version of AI simulation - a virtual town where AI characters live, chat and socialize. Inspired by great work from the Stanford Generative Agent paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.03442). A few features: - Includes a convex.dev backed server-side game engine that handles global state - Multiplayer ready. Deployment ready - 100% Typescript - Easily customizable. You can fork it, change character memories, add new sprites/tiles and you have a custom AI simulation…

    Text to 3D simulation on a map (does history pretty well)2025 · mused.com · ▲72

    Simulate anything on a map from a text prompt -- and conduct risk analysis against LiveUA map's global realtime data points from social media and news sources. I trained a GPT-2-size model on historical incident data used to predict things that will go wrong. As historian Benjamin Breen mentions, the leading language models are good historians, so the application will simulate historical events pretty well also. I include a Multi-Agent RL Urban Mobility model in progress displayed on the map as small white cubes representing traffic and pedestrians. Around SF, it uses real census data and…

    What if AI agents had Zodiac personalities?Jan 2026 · github.com · ▲29

    A fun game for playing moral dilemmas with friends. I gave 12 AI agents zodiac personalities (not that I believe in them) using the same LLM with different personality prompts.
