We (Steve Guerin and myself) again presented the NetLogo tutorial at the Santa Fe Institute’s yearly Complex Systems Summer School. We continued our use of a wiki-based, self-paced tutorial, which proved quite successful last year.
This year we added a new section: our Bag Of Tricks which is a set of downloadable NetLogo files showing standard techniques such as:
- Ant pheromone techniques
- Craig Reynolds style Flocking simulation
- Using two graph layouts to create a bouncing ball
- How to have agents travel on links rather than patches
- The n-body problem, both 2D and 3D
- Use of NetLogo’s GIS extension.
The tutorial session was given in the evening at the Santa Fe Complex, an arts and technology non-profit here in Santa Fe, NM.
Note: the gisagents blog gave this a good mention.
