Here is a complete list of MicroWorlds projects on this site. Use the menu on the right to narrow your search to projects that fix a particular genre .
This project is taken directly from StarLogo. I began playing with StarLogo when the Java version was released. It was obvious from the beginning that some of the capabilities of StarLogo (multiple turtles and parallel processing) could be duplicated in MicroWorlds. Below is my attempt to rewrite a few of the StarLogo demos in MicroWorlds.
Another version of the drunkard's walk. This one Stephen Jay Gould writes about in chapter 13 of his book Full House: The Spread of Excellence from Plato to Darwin. This project also makes interesting use of MicroWorlds ability to program multiple turtles.
Watch the turtles bounce off the walls. Create and control multiple turtles. Watch how friction affects their motion. Motion ideas from the book Advanced Logo, a language for learning used here. New in Motion II place magnets on the screen.
The code for creating the nephroid was taken from an excellent book Visual Modeling with LOGO by James Clayson. Unfortunately the book is no longer in print. Check out the MIT Press to find out how you can get a copy of this book.
A Sierpinski Curve is part of the family of recursively defined curves, commonally called fractals. If that makes your head hurt don't worry about it, just click here and enjoy.
The idea for this project came from the book Introduction to Line Designsby Dale Seymour. I was familar with his books on tesselation but I had not seen this book before. I was looking for his tesselation books at the library but they were checked out. This one came to me by serindipity.
This project shows two of the many ways to track the order that a group of turtles are selected in. The turtles are the three shapes (fish, flower and star) located in the upper right. The task is to select the three turtles in the correct order.
