## Quick Start

### Hello World: Simple Event Scheduling

```python
from simcraft import Simulation

class HelloSimulation(Simulation):
    def on_init(self):
        self.schedule(self.say_hello, delay=5.0)
        self.schedule(self.say_goodbye, delay=10.0)

    def say_hello(self):
        print(f"[t={self.now}] Hello, World!")

    def say_goodbye(self):
        print(f"[t={self.now}] Goodbye!")

sim = HelloSimulation()
sim.run(until=15.0)
```

Output:
```
[t=5.0] Hello, World!
[t=10.0] Goodbye!
```

### M/M/1 Queue with Statistics

```python
from simcraft import Simulation, Server, Entity
from simcraft.statistics import TimeSeries, Tally

class Customer(Entity):
    pass

class MM1Queue(Simulation):
    def __init__(self, arrival_rate=0.8, service_rate=1.0):
        super().__init__()
        self.arrival_rate = arrival_rate
        self.service_rate = service_rate

        # Create server with exponential service time
        self.server = Server(
            sim=self,
            capacity=1,
            service_time=lambda: self.rng.exponential(1/service_rate),
            name="Teller"
        )

        # Statistics
        self.queue_length = TimeSeries(self, name="QueueLength", keep_history=True)
        self.wait_times = Tally(name="WaitTime", keep_history=True, _sim=self)

        # Track wait times
        self.server.on_service_start(self._record_wait)

    def on_init(self):
        self.schedule(self.arrival, delay=0)

    def arrival(self):
        customer = Customer()
        customer.set_attribute("arrival_time", self.now)

        self.queue_length.observe_change(1)
        self.server.enqueue(customer)

        # Schedule next arrival
        self.schedule(
            self.arrival,
            delay=self.rng.exponential(1/self.arrival_rate)
        )

    def _record_wait(self, customer):
        wait = self.now - customer.get_attribute("arrival_time")
        self.wait_times.observe(wait)
        self.queue_length.observe_change(-1)

# Run simulation
sim = MM1Queue(arrival_rate=0.8, service_rate=1.0)
sim.run(until=10000)

# Results
print(f"Server Utilization: {sim.server.stats.utilization:.2%}")
print(f"Average Queue Length: {sim.queue_length.average_value:.2f}")
print(f"Average Wait Time: {sim.wait_times.mean:.2f}")
print(f"90th Percentile Wait: {sim.wait_times.percentile(90):.2f}")

# Theoretical values for comparison (M/M/1)
rho = 0.8
print(f"\nTheoretical Values:")
print(f"  Utilization: {rho:.2%}")
print(f"  Avg Queue Length: {rho**2/(1-rho):.2f}")
print(f"  Avg Wait Time: {rho/(1-rho):.2f}")
```

## Core Concepts

### 1. Simulation (Sandbox)

The `Simulation` class is the foundation of every model. It manages events, time, and child components.

```python
from simcraft import Simulation, SimulationConfig

class MyModel(Simulation):
    def __init__(self):
        config = SimulationConfig(
            seed=42,              # Random seed
            warmup_duration=100,  # Warmup period
            time_unit="hours",    # Time unit
        )
        super().__init__(config=config, name="MyModel")

    def on_init(self):
        """Called once before simulation starts."""
        pass

    def on_end(self):
        """Called once after simulation ends."""
        pass

    def on_warmup_end(self):
        """Called when warmup period ends."""
        pass
```

### 2. Events

Events are scheduled actions that execute at specific simulation times.

```python
# Schedule with delay
event = self.schedule(action, delay=5.0)

# Schedule at absolute time
event = self.schedule(action, at=100.0)

# Schedule with arguments
self.schedule(process, delay=1.0, args=(customer,), kwargs={"priority": 1})

# Schedule with priority (higher = executed first at same time)
self.schedule(urgent_action, delay=0, priority=100)

# Cancel an event
self.cancel_event(event)

# Cancel all events with a tag
self.schedule(action, delay=5.0, tag="arrivals")
self.cancel_events_by_tag("arrivals")
```

### 3. Entities

Entities represent objects flowing through the simulation.

```python
from simcraft import Entity, TimedEntity

# Basic entity
class Customer(Entity):
    def __init__(self, priority: int = 0):
        super().__init__()
        self.priority = priority

# Entity with automatic timing
class Job(TimedEntity):
    pass

job = Job()
job.record_entry(sim.now)
job.record_service_start(sim.now)
job.record_service_end(sim.now)
job.record_exit(sim.now)

print(job.waiting_time)   # Time waiting for service
print(job.service_time)   # Time in service
print(job.flow_time)      # Total time in system
```

### 4. Hierarchical Composition

Build complex models from nested components.

```python
class WorkCell(Simulation):
    """A work cell with multiple machines."""
    def __init__(self, parent, num_machines):
        super().__init__(parent=parent, name="WorkCell")
        self.machines = [
            Machine(parent=self) for _ in range(num_machines)
        ]

class Machine(Simulation):
    """A single machine."""
    def __init__(self, parent):
        super().__init__(parent=parent, name="Machine")
        self.server = Server(self, capacity=1, service_time=5.0)

class Factory(Simulation):
    """Factory with multiple work cells."""
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(name="Factory")
        self.cells = [
            WorkCell(parent=self, num_machines=3) for _ in range(4)
        ]

# All components share the same clock
factory = Factory()
factory.run(until=1000)
```

|---------|----------|-------|---------|
| Event scheduling | ✅ O(log n) | ✅ O(log n) | ✅ | 
| Process-based | ❌ | ✅ Generators | ✅ | 
| Hierarchical models | ✅ Native | ❌ | ⚠️ Limited | 
| Built-in resources | ✅ Rich | ✅ Basic | ✅ Rich | 
| Statistics | ✅ Comprehensive | ❌ External | ✅ | 
| RL Integration | ✅ Native | ❌ | ❌ | 
| Type hints | ✅ Full | ⚠️ Partial | ❌ | 
| Language | Python | Python | Python | 

**When to use SimCraft:**
- Building hierarchical, modular simulation models
- Integrating with optimization/RL algorithms
- Need comprehensive statistics without external libraries
- Prefer object-oriented over generator-based design
- Want full type hints and IDE support

## Performance

### Benchmarks (M/M/1 Queue, 1M events)

| Framework | Time (s) | Events/sec |
|-----------|----------|------------|
| SimCraft | 2.1 | 476,000 |
| SimPy | 1.8 | 555,000 |
| Salabim | 3.2 | 312,000 |

### Optimization Tips

1. **Use `sortedcontainers`**: Automatically used if available (10-20% faster)
2. **Minimize state changes**: Batch updates to TimeSeries when possible
3. **Disable history**: Set `keep_history=False` for production runs
4. **Use pools**: `EntityPool` reduces GC overhead for high-frequency creation

```python
from simcraft.core.entity import EntityPool

pool = EntityPool(Customer, initial_size=1000)
customer = pool.acquire()
# ... use customer ...
pool.release(customer)
```

# Run with coverage
pytest simcraft/tests/ --cov=simcraft --cov-report=html

# Run specific test file
pytest simcraft/tests/test_core.py -v
```
