Hello all. I have a few questions about simulation programming. One, do all programmers know to how to code a simulation? By simulation I mean a model of real world relationships (i.e. like Civilization which is a simulation of ruling nations through various historical settings). For example, could someone who codes word processing application necessarily know how to do a simulation of economic relationships between banks and enterprises if he/she had access to an economist? Is the skill of being able to translate in one's head realworld relationships into a model represented by code an inherent/native skill of all programmers? Two, is Python a good language for simulation programming?
Thank you all! - Richard Blackwood -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
