Increased undead activity has been detected.
The Human Protection League is on high alert and is preparing to defend against a zombie attack. Recent reports give them reason to believe that the restless dead may become an imminent and dangerous threat to humanity in the next two weeks.
In this challenge we will get to play with some zombies. Zombies carry the zombie plague which turns ordinary humans into more zombies.
Zombies thrive in enclosed spaces where escape is difficult if not impossible. Create a grid to simulate an enclosed space, 15 x 15 seems like a good size but if you want to make it larger or smaller, that is fine too.
Humans and zombies will move around in this space, moving one space in any direction for each turn. But, make sure that they do not escape the edges of the room.
Have your program start with a single zombie and ten humans. Humans and zombies will take turns moving until all of the humans have become zombies.
Here is what the room might look like on turn 1.
############## # H H Z # # H # # # # # # H H H # # H H # # H H # ##############
Notice that there is a single zombie and many humans. Zombie plague is highly contagious, if a zombie and a human come into contact the human will become a zombie. Soon the room will be overrun with zombies.
