Snppets
Start here! This is a mini-tutorial on turtles, patches,
and links. It lets you experience the Agentscript basics
and edit their use. A must-see if you are new to
modeling!
Template
This is a template for starting out a new Model from
scratch. It has a very simple TemplateModel that shows
use of turtles and links, along with an index.html file
providing a View and an Animator to run the model.
Ants
Ants find the shortest path to food by leaving a trail
of evaporating pheromones in their environment. A
classic example of stigmergic behavior.
Buttons
How long does it take to completely connect a set of
buttons by adding one link at a time between two
randomly chosen pairs.
Diffusion
Diffusion is the process by which particles move from an
area of higher concentration to an area of lower
concentration. Here two turtles travel through patches,
dropping a random value on patches and diffusing these
values.
Droplets
Droplets on a tile moving downhill. Four choises on
choosing the downhill function.
Exit
Droplets on a tile moving downhill. Four choises on
choosing the downhill function.
Fire
Fire spreading on patches based on neighbor
probabilities.
Flock
How do flocks form without a leader? Craig Reynolds, in
1986, found that three simple rules for individuals
birds results in flocking behaviour.
GridPath
How to make a path from top-left to bottom-right without
getting trapped by surrounding neighbors using flood
fills every new step.
KelpForest
This shows how a Kelp Forest evolves over time, with the
interaction between kelp, urchins and sea stars.
Life
The Game of Life consists of a grid of cells which,
based on a few mathematical rules, can live, die or
multiply. It was invented by mathematician John Conway.
LinkTravel
How do cars travel along roads in a model using links
for the road.
SlimeMold
How do many single-celled organisms coordinate to form
groups?
TSP
The Traveling Sales Person which computes the shortest
distance touching each node in a graph.
