StarLogo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

StarLogo is an agent-based simulation language developed by Mitchel Resnick and others at MIT Media Lab and MIT Teacher Education Program. It is an extension of the Logo programming language. Designed for education, students can use StarLogo to model the behavior of decentralized systems.

The first StarLogo ran on a Connection Machine. A subsequent version ran on Macintosh computers; this version became known later as MacStarLogo. The current StarLogo is written in Java and works on most computers.

StarLogo is also available in a version called OpenStarLogo. The source code for OpenStarLogo is available online, although the license under which it is released is not an open source license according the Open Source Definition, because of restrictions on the commercial use of the code.

Currently, StarLogo-TNG (the next generation) is in development. It provides a 3D world with a block-based language to increase user adaptability. It is written in C++ and Java.
