Emergence 2009: Exploration and Barriers VIII

SETUP and GO buttons are standard.

When AUTO-RESET is on, every time the turtle has visited every patch, the number of ticks required to fill every patch is stored. Then the color that patches are changed to when they have been visited reverses and the model continues to run. Thus, the world oscillates between all green and all black. This is an easy way to complete numerous runs to get an average filltime. The RUN# monitor keeps track of how many runs have been completes

When LIMIT-HEADINGS is on, the turtle randomly chooses between the 4 cardinal headings at each tick, rather than any heading between 0 and 360.

When FD-RANDOM is on, the turtle takes a random number of steps at each tick.

The STEPS slider controls how many steps the turtle takes at each tick if FD-RANDOM is off.

The PERCENT VISITED plot and monitor keep track of the percentage of patches the turtle has visited within each run.

The AVERAGE FILLTIME plot and monitor keep a running average of how long the turtle takes to visit all patches in each run.
