Harry,
I "plan" to have students work on such projects (and others) and would be
interested in finding out more about what you have in mind.

So far, this is only an idea and I have not tried writing StarLogo
procedures. I had planned to look at what scientists at Michigan State
University, Caltech, and UCLA have created -digital organisms that
simulate actual biological organisms in order to study evolution- to see
what StarLogo implications their might be..but have NOT had time.
