I'm at the point in my model where turtles are interacting and learning through experience and interaction.

I also have a button that can add more barriers and affect the movement of the turtles. With this button I can also create holes in the barriers. This button sort of adds a bit more complexity in terms of the path that the turtles follow as they navigate the environment. 

I would now like to start adding graphs to my model. More specifically, I want to add a graph that keeps track of the learning by interaction. I want the graph to keep track of the interactions. I also want the graph to keep track of the turtles that are learning by experience. Maybe both of these types of learning can be included on one graph.

Also, I would like to introduce conflict into my model by creating a malicious turtle, which harms turtles/confuses them by sharing information that makes them forget their knowledge of barrier avoidance. The malicious turtle could either kill the turtle that it comes in contact with or make that turtle forget its knowledge of barrier avoidance.

I'm thinking that the malicious turtle could cause more harm to the turtles that have had less interactions by killing them and harming the stronger turtles (those that have more interactions) by taking away their knowledge.

I'm interested in seeing how this manipulation would affect the turtle population. Also, it would be nice to add one malicous turtle after a certain number of clicks...

These are a few ideas that I hope to add to my model this week.
