Parent Model Example

Note: If you download the NetLogo application, every model in the Models Library is included.

WHAT IS IT?

This is an example of how to use LevelSpace to run many models concurrently.

HOW IT WORKS

This example allows a user to open up any number of GUI models as LevelSpace 'child' models. LevelSpace can then be used to run these models concurrently.

HOW TO USE IT

The SETUP button calls ls:reset which causes all loaded models to be unloaded.

By pressing the OPEN A MODEL button, users can load any number of GUI models in LevelSpace. Click the button once for each model and select the model you'd like to load.

Use the SETUP-MODELS button to ask each model loaded via LevelSpace to call their setup procedure.

The GO button will ask each model loaded via LevelSpace to call their go procedure.

THINGS TO TRY: Extending the Model

This model provides a flexible template for opening up many different models, but they do not interact in any way. Think of ways that they could interact using the ls primitives, and put that in this model's GO procedure.

NETLOGO FEATURES

This model uses LevelSpace, an extension that comes bundled with NetLogo 6.0+.
