# civs

A simulator of civilizations evolution written in Clojure. By simulating migrations, language development, evolution of tribes, chiefdoms and nations, creation and destruction of settlements it builds a realistic world with a complete history. That history can be observed for fun or be used as base for future games.

## Status

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/ftomassetti/civs.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/ftomassetti/civs)

[![Clojars Project](http://clojars.org/civs/latest-version.svg)](http://clojars.org/civs)

Currently the simulation can be started with any number of bands (small groups of humans). During the turns they can:

* evolve into tribe or chiefdoms

* migrate towards better lands

* settle new cities

* develop languages

* grow or perish

* develop agriculture

* change their lifestyle from nomadic to semi-sedentary or sedentary

* split into separate groups

* and so on... I am constantly improving the simulation

## How to use it: related projects

The project generate civilizations evolving in worlds which can be generated using the world generator [lands](https://github.com/ftomassetti/lands).

To generate languages for the different civilizations it use the names generation library [langgen](https://github.com/ftomassetti/langgen). 

Lands and langgen are written Python and wrapped in Java using Jython. The wrapper is [lands-java-lib](https://github.com/ftomassetti/lands-java-lib). 

The history files produced by civs can be explored using [civs-browser](https://github.com/ftomassetti/civs-browser).

Dev guidelines

==============

Use [kibit](https://github.com/jonase/kibit) and [eastwood](https://github.com/jonase/eastwood) to verify code quality.

When runnng eastwood exclude the check for unlimited use of namespaces:

```

lein eastwood "{:exclude-linters [:unlimited-use]}"

```
