Environment Setup

After opening up a new simulation in HASH, navigate to globals.json. First, we are going to set up the Topology, or the environment, of the scene.

{
    "topology": {
        "x_bounds": [
            0,
            10
        ],
        "y_bounds": [
            0,
            10
        ],
        "search_radius": 10
    }
}

Setting the x_bounds and y_bounds creates a 10x10 boundary within the environment which will be used to generate the customer and business agents. It also sets the search_radius of all agents within the simulation to 10, which will automatically update an agent’s neighbor list to include all agents within a distance of 10.
