turtles, patches, and links for kids, teachers, and scientists

What it solves

NetLogo is a programmable modeling environment designed for simulating complex systems. It allows users to create agent-based models to study how individual behaviors lead to emergent phenomena.

How it works

It provides a programmable environment where users can define the behaviors of agents (often called "turtles") and their environment (the world), allowing them to run simulations and observe the results.

Who it’s for

It is aimed at researchers, students, and developers who want to build agent-based models to simulate social, natural, or technical systems.

Highlights

  • Supports the creation of agent-based models.
  • Provides a controlling API and an extensions API for developers to extend its functionality.
  • Includes a tutorial and comprehensive resources for learning agent-based modeling.
