Overview

This repository contains the slides from the presentation Como Chegamos Até Aqui, delivered on May 27, 2026, at the 1st Interdisciplinary Brazilian Symposium on Agent-Based Models (SIMBRA).

The slides are available here.

Usage

The presentation was made with the Quarto publishing system and the R programming language. To ensure consistent results, the renv package manages and restores the R environment.

After installing the dependencies mentioned above, follow these steps to start developing it:

1. Clone this repository to your local machine.
2. Open the project in your preferred IDE.
3. Install package dependencies by running renv::restore() in the R console.
4. Open index.qmd to start writing.

If you're having issues with renv (it can be a little frustrating), use renv::deactivate(clean = TRUE) to completely remove the environment and start fresh.

Rendering

The rendering process uses the Quarto publishing system. Make sure you meet all the requirements listed in the Usage section before moving on.

After installing all dependencies, run the following command in your terminal from the root directory of the project:

quarto render

This will activate the rendering process. Once completed, the HTML file will be available in the docs folder.
