I am trying to create a simulation of Covid19 spread for months: May and June
The code I am using to create turtles and start simulation is showed below:
to gh-month
if month="May"//month is a chooser in interface tabe
[
clear-all
create-turtles 3000
[
setxy random-xcor random-ycor
set shape forma
set color blue
]
set no_infected 106
ask n-of 1 turtles with [color = blue]
[
set infectedTurtle? True
set color red
]
set percentage(no_infected / 3000)* 100
]
if month="June"
[
clear-all
create-turtles 3000
[
setxy random-xcor random-ycor
set shape forma
set color blue
]
set no_infected 2030
ask n-of 1 turtles with [color = blue]
[
set infectedTurtle? True
set color red
]
set percentage(no_infected / 3000)* 100
]
end
And setup and go commands are below
to setup
gh-month
end
to go
reset-ticks ;; netlogo time
ask turtles [
forward 0.005 ;; moving turtles command and speed
]
ask turtles with [color = red] [
ask other turtles-here [
if random 100 < percentage[set color red]
]
]
set %infected (count turtles with [color = red] / count turtles) * 100
if %infected= percentage[stop]//percentage is declared above also is a monitor in interface tab
end
My question after simulation start, why for the month' May' is stopped ate based on given condition(if %infected= percentage[stop]), and for June no, it goes up to 100% and don't stop at given condtion.
Thanks to everyone
You have a basic misunderstanding of how time operates in NetLogo so there are several problems. You have also written way too much code at once. For example, just create the turtles and get that working before having them move, and get that working before trying to have different months.
NetLogo works with a counter or clock. Each tick increments the counter. The reset-ticks is part of the initialisation because it sets the counter to 0 and makes it available. The command tick advances the clock, and is usually the last command in the procedure that contains all the things that happen in a day (or hour or whatever a tick represents). The go procedure therefore needs the command tick, not the command reset-ticks.

I am new in using NetLogo, so I hope you can help me with this code.
I would like to build a network with two subnetwork, A and B, where A has N nodes and B beta*N nodes, where beta=0.5. Each network should be initialised with five fully connected nodes. I need to add a new node at a time, assuming that each has fixed out-degree k. Once a new node i comes into the network, it links to a randomly selected target node j. The other remaining k-1 nodes should be selected as following: with probability p, i should be linked to a random node of j's; with probability 1-p, i should be connected to another randomly selected node in A.
On the other hand, the nodes in B should be linked (directed link) to each node in A with probability P. P can vary from 0 to 1.
What I already tried is built the two networks with N and alpha*N nodes respectively. But, as I said, I am new in using NetLogo and I am finding many difficulties to build this network that should be really easy in a different programming language, I would be more familiar with.

Many thanks
This does what you said. I don't think it's actually what you want as your algorithm is much better but still somewhat confused. But hopefully this gets you on the correct path.

Some of the NetLogo issues I noticed in your code:
NetLogo does not use = for set
you must have space around mathematical operators (or NetLogo will think it's part of the name)
Some of the things you need to think about in your algorithm:
why do you have an initial B network if all Bs connect to each A with fixed probability?
what do you do if the selected A doesn't have any edges to follow?
As general advice, don't try writing something this complicated in one piece. Create your seed networks with 5 fully connected nodes. Make that work. Then do network A and make that work. Then bring in B. This iterative building is important for all programming languages. It is particularly important when using a new language so that you only have to debug one or two errors at a time and you know where the bugs are.
I'm very new at Netlogo and programming in general.
I want to create a netlogo model, with female and male turtles. Both populations move through the world via random walk. The female population should find a partner and has the property 'radius'. Her own radius should expand if she has not found a partner until the moment she finds one. How can I program a radius around the female turtles, that expand after each time step if she has not found a partner?
Thanks for your help!
First, you need a turtle attribute that stores the value for each turtle. The way to do that is with a turtles-own statement. Then you simply change the value as required. The primitive in-radius looks at everything within the specified distance, and then you can set a condition by whether there are any? suitable mates. Your code would look something like (this is a complete model):
turtles-own
[ search-radius
mate
]
to setup
clear-all
create-turtles 20
[ setxy random-xcor random-ycor
set color blue
set search-radius 1
]
reset-ticks
end
to go
check-for-mate
tick
end
to check-for-mate
ask turtles with [color = blue]
[ let candidates other turtles in-radius search-radius
ifelse any? candidates
[ set mate one-of candidates
set color red
]
[ set search-radius search-radius + 0.5 + random-float 1
]
]
end
Based on the “sheep eat grass” model. The patches are changing color with the agents move. I want to check if a patch has remain a centain color for a while (such as 5 ticks). If a patch has stayed in a centain color for a centain times without any change it will turn into black.
I try to use countup but it didn’t work. I need a accumulated state. Thanks a lot
If pcolor=green[
Ifelse countup>=5[
Set pcolor black
Set countup 0]
[set countup countup+1]]
Can you give a little more detail as to what is going wrong with the code you've shown? For example, with this setup:
patches-own [ time-spent-green ]
to setup
ca
crt 3
reset-ticks
end
Something very similar to your example works fine for me:
to go
ask turtles [
rt random 61 - 30
fd 1
ask patch-here [
set pcolor green
]
]
ask patches with [ pcolor = green ] [
ifelse time-spent-green >= 5 [
set pcolor black
set time-spent-green 0
] [
set time-spent-green time-spent-green + 1
]
]
tick
end
Where the patches stay green for 5 ticks then turn back to black.
I would like to create some turtles in a radius of another breed agent.
I have this example code:
breed [ readers reader ]
undirected-link-breed [ rris rri ]
breed [ tags tag ]
to setup
clear-all
set xy-file "locations.txt"
setup-readers
setup-tags
end
to setup-readers
create-readers num-readers [
set shape "circle"
set color white ; means idle state 'red' is active
setxy random-xcor random-ycor
]
end
to setup-tags
create-tags tag-population [
setxy random-xcor random-ycor in-radius 6 of one-of readers
]
end
The line setxy... to place the tags in a circle of distance 6 from one of the readers it does not work, but I do not know how to fix it. I have also tested move-to primitive without good result.
What I would like is to have a population of tags in a radius of each reader and if possible select the number of tags for each reader to be different.
The sprout primitive might get you what you need- instead of creating your tags and then moving them, just have the appropriate patches spawn them directly. For example, with this setup:
breed [ readers reader ]
breed [ tags tag ]
to setup
clear-all
setup-readers
setup-tags
reset-ticks
end
to setup-readers
create-readers 5 [
set shape "circle"
set color white
setxy random-xcor random-ycor
]
end
You can make a population of patches that are within the radius of readers and have however many you like sprout a tag:
to setup-tags
let radii-patches patch-set []
ask readers [
set radii-patches ( patch-set radii-patches patches in-radius 6 )
]
; Code above defines the patch-set of patches within 6 of readers
; Then, just ask 10 of those radii patches to sprout a tag
ask n-of 10 radii-patches [
sprout-tags 1
]
end
If you are doing this on a per-reader basis and you want each to have a different number of tags, you could try something like:
to setup-tags-reader
let n-tag random 5
ask readers [
ask n-of n-tag patches in-radius 6 [
sprout-tags 1
]
]
end
but then set the n-tag value some other way (for example, from another .csv file as you seem to be setting reader location).
Side note- when you post on here try to strip out any code than cannot be directly copied and pasted into Netlogo by other users (eg the 'xy-file' line, the tag-population and num-readers variables)- it just makes things super simple!
Edit
As per your comment- try this option (using the same setup as above)
to setup-tags
create-tags 10 [
move-to one-of readers
rt random-float 360
fd random-float 6
]
end
This just creates tags, moves them to a reader, has them randomly select a direction, then has them step forward a random amount from 0 to 6.
As to how to assign patches to each reader- just make a readers-own variable then have them assign patches to that variable in their setup (eg, set my-patches patches in-radius 6). You could do a similar thing with tags to define a reader-specific set of tags (eg `set my-tags tags in-radius 6). Note that in both cases you can get overlap where two readers share patches/tags- you will have to account for that.
I want certain turtles in NetLogo to just not move at all AND I want other certain turtles to stop moving.
I have created 5 black turtles which I do not want to move at all and I tried something like
ask turtles with [color = black] [fd 0] but that won't work, they still move like the green turtles, which currently is fd 1.
I also need n-of green turtles to stop moving in the middle of the simulation and I have NO idea how to do that. The n-of could also be replaced with a slider.
Thanks!
In the part of your code where you have:
ask turtles [ fd 1 ]
change it to
ask turtles with [color != black] [ fd 1 ]
As for "I also need n-of green turtles to stop moving in the middle of the simulation", consider an approach such as:
turtles-own [velocity]
to setup
...
;; make some green turtles that move
create-turtles 10 [ set color green set velocity 1 ]
;; make some black turtles that don't move
create-turtles 10 [ set color black set velocity 0 ]
...
reset-ticks
end
to go
...
;; make some green turtles stop moving
ask n-of 5 turtles with [color = green] [
set velocity 0
]
...
ask turtles [ fd velocity ]
...
tick
end
Make sense?
