Ising Model of a Social Event

Inspiration

I work in condensed matter and the Ising model always interested me. It is quite simple but can be used in different situations.

What it does

The program uses the Metropolis algorithm to simulate ferromagnetism on a 2D grid. Our concept adds the fact that the grid is not full and that the spins can move. After that we implement this as a social event, where the spins are now people with different ideas. The interaction is now how friendly people are, the external field is propaganda and temperature is how drunk people are. We added music that gives a probability to move if it is loud or talk if it is low.

How we built it

Using the Metropolis algorithm and a javascript code that Vincent did.

Challenges we ran into

Optimization of the codes since they can be long to compute.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

It works and gives interesting results

What we learned

Adding neighbours increases the critical temperature.
