A simple C++ library to implement the "virtual-move" Monte Carlo (VMMC) algorithm of Steve Whitelam and Phill Geissler , see:
We introduce a “virtual-move” Monte Carlo algorithm for systems of pairwise-interacting particles. This algorithm facilitates the simulation of particles possessing attractions of short range and arbitrary strength and geometry, an important realization being self-assembling particles endowed with strong, short-ranged, and angularly specific (“patchy”) attractions. Standard Monte Carlo techniques employ sequential updates of particles and can suffer from low acceptance rates when attractions are strong. In
