Hello,
My students are very excited about the new version of SLNova and are looking forward to creating a virtual worm farm (in conjunction with their science/math/humanities unit).
One characteristic they would like to include is the ability for a 'worm' to grow in length (similar to the old snake game) after it has 'eaten' some food. Is there an efficient way to create an agent that will behave like this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Kevin
The link http://www.slnova.org/pjain_nova/projects/482070/ does not work. It was working in the first version.

We have recently started teaching the curriculum at one of our school sites and it will be nice to have some help for an early fix
Hello,
Trying to work with the slnoval: Sugar Transport Model: http://www.slnova.org/biograph/projects/2743/
but this is not working in V2.0. It does works in the flash version
http://flash.slnova.org/biograph/projects/2743/
Do I need to make changes to get this to work? One thing I did observe in v2.0 which is not the case in the flash version, is that you CANNOT have dangling code (eg: code blocks that aren't attached) otherwise the program does not run. I'm wondering if this is related.
Hello,
I have some students who are unable to access the site as it get's stuck loading at 71%. What are the requirements for V2.0? I understand Flash is no longer a requirement, but are there other requirements?
Thanks!
To translate the old random block to the new random block, all you need to do is set the range to be 1 to the number at the top of the range. It works like this for the wiggle:
old way: left turn random 30 right turn random 30 forward 1
new way: left turn random 1 to 30 right turn random 1 to 30 forward 1
Basically the new random function asks for the range within which to randomly select a number. We switched how it works so we can easily do something like this:
With the transfer of the database of projects to the new version, some of the links broke! The StarLogo Nova development team is working on a fix as we speak.
Hi,
I am new to slogo nova so forgive me if my question is basic. I'm not understanding the difference between agent vs. breed. It seems that the concept of breed may be useful if you are able to inherit attributes of other breeds when creating a new breed, however I don't see the concept of inheritance when creating a new breed. Given this, I'm not understanding what the difference is and why it's neccessary to distinquish between breed and agent?
Hi
When you create an account and a first project, it appears that slogo nova creates 2 default galleries automatically. username Public Gallery and username Private Gallery. When you create a project, it defaults as private and indicates it's in the username Private Gallery. However from My Projects, Galleries view, the default public gallery is listed under the Public Galleries tree. But the default private gallery does not show up under the Private Galleries tree? Is this by design?
Thanks
If you suspect you found a bug in StarLogo Nova 2.0, please write about it here. In particular it is useful if you can tell us the following:
- What happened? What didn't work the way you expected?
- Are there steps that led up to it not working?
- Does it happen every time? is it repeatable?
- if possible please provide a link to a PUBLIC project that exhibits this behavior.
Thank you!
