Models in NetLogoTutorial #1: Models - Wolf Sheep Predation NetLogo User Manual Wolf-sheep predation Start NetLogo. File Models Library Biology Wolf Sheep Predation. Interface elements allow you to interact with the model: Buttons are blue; they set up, start, and stop the model. Sliders and switches are green; they alter model settings. Monitors and plots are beige; they display data. First look When you first open the model, you will notice that the view is empty (all black). To begin the model, you will first need to set it up. Press the setup button. What do you see appear in the view? Press the go button to start the simulation. As the model is running, what is happening to the wolf and sheep populations? Press the go button to stop the model. Button types Once buttons: Forever buttons: Stopping Stopping a forever button is the normal way to stop a model. Its safe to pause a model by stopping a forever button, then make it go on by pressing the button again. You can also stop a model with the Halt item on the Tools menu, but you should only do this if the model is stuck for some reason. Using Halt may interrupt the model in the middle of an action, and as the result the model could get confused. The speed slider The speed slider allows you to control the speed of a model, that is, the speed at which turtles move, patches change color, and so on. When you move the slider to the left the model slows down so there are longer pauses between each tick (time step). That makes it easier to see what is happening. You might even slow the model down so far as to see exactly what a single turtle is doing. When you move the speed slider to the right of the center the model will speed up. NetLogo will start skipping frames, that is, it wont update the view at the end
