+`hotwheels` is a code for hydrodynamic N-body cosmological simulations, `hotwheels` components are made of **C low-level kernels driven by python wrappers**.
 
 `hotwheels` is  developed by **Antonio Ragagnin**. And, as part of my commitment to advancing simulation tools, I am working on a flexible and modular implementation of a [Gadget](https://wwwmpa.mpa-garching.mpg.de/gadget/)-like code (temporarily named `hotwheels`). This new implementation incorporates lessons learned from over a decade of experience working with HPC and Gadget codes (e.g., OpenGadget3, see Dolag et al., in prep).
