  1. MIS 585 Special Topics in MIS Agent-Based Modeling NetLogo: Summary of Manual and Dictionary

  2. Outline • procedures • variables • ask • agentsets • breeds • lists • NetLogo Dictionary

  3. 1. Procedures – with inputs • put input names in square brackets after the procedure name. to draw-polygon [num-sides len] ;; turtle procedure pen-down repeat num-sides [ fd len rt 360 / num-sides ] end use the procedure by asking the turtles to each draw an octagon with a side length equal to its who number: ask turtles [ draw-polygon 8 who ]

  4. Procedures – Reporters • to-report - to begin procedure. • in the body ofthe procedure, - report to report the value you want to report. to-report absolute-value [number] ifelse number >= 0 [ report number ] [ report (- number) ] end

  5. 2. Variables • global – observer – every agent can see or manipulate • declered - globals [total-enery] • agent variables • turtle, patch, link – for each agent one variable • turles-own [energy speed] • initial values are 0 • set for assignment • ask turtles [set pcolor red] • turtles can reach and manipulate patch variables they are currently on • of: agents can reach variables of other agents • show [color] of turtle 5 • show [xcor + ycor] of turtle 5

  6. Variables – local variables • in procedures or blocks • Example: to swap-colors [turtle1 turtle2] let temp [color] of turtle1 ask turtle1 [ set color [color] of turtle2 ] ask turtle2 [ set color temp ] end

  7. Variables - types • numeric – no distiction between integer or float • boolean – true false • string – string of characters in “” • color – from 0 to 139.9 • agent or agentset • list • Constants • boolean – true false • mathematical – e,pi • color – red blue balck yellow

  8. tick counter • reset-ticks • tick, tick-advance • ticks: variable

  9. 3. ask • to give commands to turtles, patches, and links • contex change to turtles patches or links • Example: to setup clear-all create-turtles 100 ;; create 100 turtles with random headings ask turtles [ set color red ;; turn them red fd 50 ] ;; spread them around ask patches [ if pxcor > 0 ;; patches on the right side [ set pcolor green ] ] ;; of the view turn green reset-ticks end

  10. asking individual agents • askingindividual agents to setup clear-all crt 3 ;; make 3 turtles ask turtle 0 ;; tell the first one... [ fd 1 ] ;; ...to go forward ask turtle 1 ;; tell the second one... [ set color green ] ;; ...to become green ask turtle 2 ;; tell the third one... [ rt 90 ] ;; ...to turn right

  11. asking individual agents ask patch 2 -2 ;; ask the patch at (2,-2) [ set pcolor blue ] ;; ...to become blue ask turtle 0 ;; ask the first turtle [ ask patch-at 1 0 ;; ...to ask patch to the east [ set pcolor red ] ] ;; ...to become red ask turtle 0 ;; tell the first turtle... [ create-link-with turtle 1 ] ;; ...make a link with the second ask link 0 1 ;; tell the link between turtle 0 and 1 [ set color blue ] ;; ...to become blue reset-ticks end

  12. who number • who number – every turtle has an who number stating from 0 • turtle number • <breed > number • patch x y • identified with their x and y coordinates • link who1 who2 • which tukrtles it is connecting

  13. 4. agentsets • a set of agents containing • turtles,patches or links • but not more than one type at once • in a random order • turtles - reports agentset of all turtles • patches - << << patches • links - << << links • also some tutrles, patches or links • turtles with color red • pathces on the positive quadrant - pxor>0 and pyor>0 • turtles-here, turtles-at, tutles-on

  14. forming agentsets ;; all other turtles: other turtles ;; all other turtles on this patch: other turtles-here ;; all red turtles: turtles with [color = red] ;; all red turtles on my patch turtles-here with [color = red] ;; patches on right side of view patches with [pxcor > 0]

  15. forming agentsets (2) ;; all turtles less than 3 patches away turtles in-radius 3 ;; the four patches to the east, north, west, and south patches at-points [[1 0] [0 1] [-1 0] [0 -1]] ;; shorthand for those four patches neighbors4 ;; turtles in the first quadrant that are on a green patch turtles with [(xcor > 0) and (ycor > 0) and (pcolor = green)] ;; turtles standing on my neighboring four patches turtles-on neighbors4 ;; all the links connected to turtle 0 [my-links] of turtle 0

  16. what can be done? • Use ask to make the agents in the agentset do something • Use any? to see if the agentset is empty • Use all? to see if every agent in an agentset satisfies a condition. • Use count to find out exactly how many agents are in the set

  17. any? any? agentset • Reports true if the given agentset is non-empty, false otherwise. • Equivalent to "count agentset > 0", but more efficient (and arguably more readable). if any? turtles with [color = red] [ show "at least one turtle is red!" ]

  18. what else can be done? • Pick a random agent from the set using one-of. • For example, • we can make a randomlychosen turtle turn green: • ask one-of turtles [ set color green ] • tell a randomly chosen patch to sprout a new turtle: • ask one-of patches [ sprout 1 ]

  19. what else can be done? (2) • Use the max-one-of or min-one-of reporters tofind out which agent is the most or leastalong some scale. For example, to remove the richest turtle, you could say ask max-one-of turtles [sum assets] [ die ]

  20. max-one-of max-one-of agentset [reporter] • Reports the agent in the agentset that has the highest value for the given reporter. If there is a tie • this command reports one random agent with the highest value. If you want all such agents, use • with-max instead. show max-one-of patches [count turtles-here] ;; prints the first patch with the most turtles on it

  21. with-max agentset with-max [reporter] • Takes two inputs: on the left, an agentset (usually "turtles" or "patches"). On the right, a reporter. • Reports a new agentset containing all agents reporting the maximum value of the given reporter. show count patches with-max [pxcor] ;; prints the number of patches on the right edge

  22. what else can be done? (3) • Use of to make a list of values, one for each agent in the agentset. Then use one-of • NetLogo's list primitives to do something with the list. (See the "Lists" section below.) • Forexample, to find out how rich turtles are on the average, you could say show mean [sum assets] of turtles

  23. what else can be done? (4) • Use turtle-set, patch-setandlink-set reporters to make new agentsets bygathering together agents from a variety of possible sources. • Use no-turtles, no-patchesandno-links reporters to make empty agentsets. • Check whether two agentsets are equal using = or !=. • Use member? to see whether a particular agent is a member of an agentset.

  24. one-of one-of agentset one-of list • From an agentset, reports a random agent. If the agentset is empty, reports nobody. • From a list, reports a random list item. It is an error for the list to be empty. ask one-of patches [ set pcolor green ] ;; a random patch turns green ask patches with [any? turtles-here] [ show one-of turtles-here ] ;; for each patch containing turtles, prints one ofthose turtles ;; suppose mylist is [1 2 3 4 5 6] show one-of mylist ;; prints a value randomly chosen from the list

  25. of [reporter] of agent [reporter] of agentset • For an agent, reports the value of the reporter for that agent (turtle or patch). show [pxcor] of patch 3 5 ;; prints 3 show [pxcor] of one-of patches ;; prints the value of a random patch's pxcor variable show [who * who] of turtle 5 => 25 show [count turtles in-radius 3] of patch 0 0 ;; prints the number of turtles located within a ;; three-patch radius of the origin

  26. of agentset • For an agentset, reports a list that contains the value of the reporter for each agent in the agentsetin random order). crt 4 show sort [who] of turtles => [0 1 2 3] show sort [who * who] of turtles => [0 1 4 9]

  27. turtle-set turtle-set value1 (turtle-set value1 value2 ...) • Reports an agentset containing all of the turtles anywhere in any of the inputs. The inputs may be • individual turtles, turtle agentsets, nobody, or lists (or nested lists) containing any of the above. turtle-set self (turtle-set self turtles-on neighbors) (turtle-set turtle 0 turtle 2 turtle 9) (turtle-set frogs mice)

  28. patch-set patch-set value1 (patch-set value1 value2 ...) • Reports an agentset containing all of the patches anywhere in any of the inputs. The inputs may be • individual patches, patch agentsets, nobody, or lists (or nested lists) containing any of the above. patch-set self patch-set patch-here (patch-set self neighbors) (patch-set patch-here neighbors) (patch-set patch 0 0 patch 1 3 patch 4 -2) (patch-set patch-at -1 1 patch-at 0 1 patch-at 1 1) patch-set [patch-here] of turtles patch-set [neighbors] of turtles

  30. 5. Breeds • breeds of tutrles or links • behave differently • sheep or wolves • breed key word breed [volves volf] breed [sheep a-sheep] • in gnereal breed [pulural singular] • singular form - <breed> • pulural form <breeds>

  31. define a breed: • breed [sheep a-sheep] create-sheep, hatch-sheep, sprout-sheep, sheep-here, sheep-at, sheep-on, is-a-sheep?. • define new variables for breed: sheep-own [ ... ] • tutle breeds – breed variable stores breed if breed = wolves [ ... ] • can be tested ask one-of wolves [ set breed sheep ] • can be changed

  32. breeds – who numbers • who numbers assigned irrispective of breeds breed [mice mouse] breed [frogs frog] mice-own [cheese] to setup clear-all create-mice 50 [ set color white set cheese random 10 ] create-frogs 50 [ set color green ] reset-ticks end

  33. 6. Lists • single variables e.g. numeric, strings • holds one pice of information • lists • multiple pices of information • heterogenuous • boolean, number, string, agent, agentset, list • List related primitives but-first, but-last, empty?, filter, first, foreach, fput, histogram,is-list?, item, last, length, list, lput, map,member?, modes, n-of, n-values, of, position, one-of, reduce, remove, remove-duplicates, remove-item, replace-item, reverse, sentence, shuffle, sort, sort-by, sort-on, sublist

  34. Constant lists • e.g. set mylist [2 4 6 9] • lists within lists: [[2 4] [3 5]] • empty list: []

  35. Building lists on the fly • list accepts two reporters run them and form a list • e.g.: list from two random numbers list (random 10) (randonm 20) • for one or mere then three reporters use paranthesis (list random 10) (list random 10 random 10 random 10)

  36. list list value1 value2 (list value1 ...) • Reports a list containing the given items. The items can be of any type, produced by any kind ofreporter. show list (random 10) (random 10) => [4 9] ;; or similar list show (list 5) => [5] show (list (random 10) 1 2 3 (random 10)) => [4 1 2 3 9] ;; or similar list

  37. Varying number of inputs • Some commands and reporters involving lists and strings may take a varying number of inputs. In • these cases, in order to pass them a number of inputs other than their default, the primitive and its • inputs must be surrounded by parentheses. Here are some examples:

  38. examples show list 1 2 => [1 2] show (list 1 2 3 4) => [1 2 3 4] show (list) • [] • special commands - default number of inputs. list, word, sentence, map, foreach.

  39. n-values n-values size reporter-task • Reports a list of length size containing values computed by repeatedly running the task. • If the task accepts inputs, the input will be the number of the item currently being computed, startingfrom zero. show n-values 5 [1] => [1 1 1 1 1] show n-values 5 [?] => [0 1 2 3 4] show n-values 3 turtle => [(turtle 0) (turtle 1) (turtle 2)] show n-values 5 [? * ?] => [0 1 4 9 16]

  40. of primitieve again of primitive • take an agentset and produce a list applying the reporter to the set max [...] of turtles sum [...] of turtles

  41. sentence sentence value1 value2 (sentence value1 ...) • Makes a list out of the values. If any value is a list, its items are included in the result directly, ratherthan being included as a sublist. show sentence 1 2 => [1 2] show sentence [1 2] 3 => [1 2 3] show sentence 1 [2 3] => [1 2 3] show sentence [1 2] [3 4] => [1 2 3 4] show (sentence [[1 2]] [[3 4]]) => [[1 2] [3 4]] show (sentence [1 2] 3 [4 5] (3 + 3) 7) => [1 2 3 4 5 6 7]

  42. list and sentence show list [1 2] 3 => [1 2] 3] show sentence [1 2] 3 => [1 2 3]

  43. Changing list items • can't be modified • replace-item set mylist [2 7 5 “Bob” [3 0 -2]] ; mylist is now [2 7 5 “Bob” [3 0 -2]] set mylist replace-item 2 mylist 10 ; mylist is now [2 7 10 “Bob” [3 0 -2]]

  44. replace-item replace-item index list value replace-item index string1 string2 • On a list, replaces an item in that list. index is the index of the item to be replaced, starting with 0. • for a string, but the given character of string1 removed and the contents of string2 spliced

  45. replace-item show replace-item 2 [2 7 4 5] 15 => [2 7 15 5] show replace-item 1 "cat" "are" => "caret"

  46. adding or droping items • To add an item, say 42, to the end of a list, use the lput reporter. (fput adds an item to the • beginning of a list.)

  47. adding or droping items set mylist lput 42 mylist ; mylist is now [2 7 10 “Bob” [3 0 -2] 42] • The but-last (bl) for short) reporter reports all the list itemsbut the last. set mylist but-last mylist ; mylist is now [2 7 10 “Bob” [3 0 -2]]

  48. to get rid of item 0, the 2 at the beginning of the list. set mylist but-first mylist ; mylist is now [7 10 Bob [3 0 -2]]

  49. to change the third item that's nested inside item 3 from -2 to 9? The key is torealize that the name that can be used to call the nested list [3 0 -2] is item 3 mylist. Then the • replace-item reporter can be nested to change the list-within-a-list. The parentheses are added • for clarity. set mylist (replace-item 3 mylist (replace-item 2 (item 3 mylist) 9)) ; mylist is now [7 10 Bob [3 0 9]]

  50. item • item index list • item index string • On lists, reports the value of the item in the given list with the given index. • On strings, reports the character in the given string at the given index. • Note that the indices begin from 0, not 1. (The first item is item 0, the second item is item 1, on.)
