Avoid modifying any mutable model properties except through utility functions provided by EasyABM. For example, shuffling the list model.agents may lead to errorneous results. Immutable properties like model.tick must also be not modified as they are only for internal use in EasyABM.
- Avoid using global variables (its a general tip for Julia users)
- In EasyABM the types of model properties, patch properties, nodes/edges properties, and agents properties (other than position) are not declared while defining the model. Therefore, if the user wishes to make code a bit more performant, such properties can be annotated with their types in the
step_rule!function.
