It exports two subroutines: play and death-rate.

SUBROUTINES

play

play(age => 64);

The play subroutine will play the game. You need to at least specify the age named parameter. It will return your final constitution, with 0 indicating death. The following named parameters are optional:

• constitution

  constitution => 80,

A value of 1..100 indicating the state of your constitution, with 100 indicating fully healthy. Defaults to 100.

• mask

  :mask

A Boolean indicating whether or not you're wearing a mask. Defaults to False.

• distancing

  :distancing

A Boolean indicating whether or not you're socially distancing. Defaults to False.

• verbose

  :!verbose

A Boolean indicating whether verbose play output is wanted. Defaults to True.

death-rate

death-rate(age => 64);

The death-rate sub will run the game many times and record how many times the game resulted in death, and use that to calculate a death-rate as a percentage.

It takes the same named parameters as the play subroutine. Additional named parameters are:

• times

  times => 10000

The number of times the game should be played. Defaults to 10000.
