Moore & Von Neumann Example

Run Moore & Von Neumann Example in your browser uses NetLogo 4.0.2 requires Java 1.4.1+ (system requirements) Note: If you download the NetLogo application, every model in the Models Library (besides the Community Models) is included. If you have trouble running this model in your browser, you may wish to download the application instead.

WHAT IS IT?

This model shows how to make Moore (square) and Von Neumann (diamond) neighborhoods of any radius. The built-in primitive NEIGHBORS gives you a Moore neighborhood of radius 1, and the built-in primitive NEIGHBORS4 gives you a Von Neumann neighborhood of radius 1, but for other radii you have to use the code in this example.

There are many ways possible ways to code these neighborhoods, but the method demonstrated here was chosen because it is efficient.

THINGS TO NOTICE

World wrapping can be on or off; the same code works fine either way.
