This chapter provides an overview of the programming language and concepts that are used within NetLogo. NetLogo basics, such as how to create a simple environment, commands and procedures, are presented with step by step instructions for creating a simple model. Following this basic model, more advanced features are introduced. The overall aim of this chapter is to provide an understanding of the main components that make a NetLogo program. Subsequent chapters build upon the basics presented here.
There are two models available in the Models directory:
-
first_model.nlogo presents the simple model that the chapter discusses first;
-
advanced_model.nlogo presents the more complicated model, with grass that can be eaten (see the image below).
The lecture slides for this chapter are available: Chapter4 Lecture Slides.
The tutorial is available, in full, in Chapter 4 of the book.
