you save your work by storing it on a USB flash drive or by
saving it on the laptop you are working on.
Make sure you remember which laptop you are using.
- When you are completely finished, make sure that either I collect
a copy of the file, or that you email it to me.

BE SURE TO ASK IN THE LAB IF YOU NEED HELP WITH ANY STEPS!!!!
A WORLD OF YOUR OWN.
In this assignment, you will create a Netlogo program of your own
design. A little Alife world of your own.
Step 1. Describe it.
(2 points)
- Start up Notepad.
- Write a description of the Netlogo simulation that you want to create.
Your description should include:
- The agents you will create
- What the agents will do.
- How the agents will interact, that is how they will affect
each other.
Step 2. Program it.
(8 points)
- Start up Netlogo and get programming
- Note that you are allowed to use ideas from other programs in the models
library, but you cannot just hand in one of the models and
pretend it is your own work (I will check).
You must use comments to put your names in the program,
and to explain what the program does.
- When you save the program, name the file with the last names of
everyone in your group, followed by the .nlogo extension.
For example, if I was working with Mr Brown and Mr Black, we would name
our file brown-black-parsons.nlogo
- If you complete this in class, make sure I collect the file on a USB
memory stick.
If you complete the program at home, make sure that you email me the file.
