[starlogo-users] Beginner needs help

[Oscar González Seguí]

Eric:
I thank your immediate answer.
You can take me as a wild case of somebody looking for a simulation tool (knowing some mathematics and logic, and a poor BASIC).

I want to do something like this:

I need to create 
one agent (agent of the type turtles), and wish to label it as "1" (or anything)
each of these turtles  support variables:
var1: (with integer values)
var2: idem
var-of-position (x,y)

That's my one week problem. 
I can create one agent (Create turtles 1)
But that's all my work.
How can I know its ID? Or instead call that agent "A1"
How can I know its x coord and y coord? How can I define:  "Turtles support var1, var2..."?
How can I know where A1 is standing? :Tell me coord x, coord y of 'A1' 

I have already seen the tutorial epidemic. Remains opaque for me.

I'm sorry Professor, that's my situation.

Thanks again.

Oscar

Hi Oscar

The notion of developing a programming structure is a good one that  
we have yet to really solidify in TNG.  As the language develops  
we're hoping to do this (the beta version due early next year should  
have a start on this with a reworked blocks canvas).

In the mean time, you can try looking at the tutorials.  In  
particular the epidemic tutorial should take you through much of what  
you are looking for.
