Sample Projects


Each version of StarLogo comes with sample projects in the following categories. When you click on a link below, the sample project will open up in a new window for easy navigation.

We are currently developing a Design Discussion Area for StarLogo, where you will be able to post your own StarLogo projects and receive feedback from others. Watch for it soon!

If you are looking for examples of MacStarLogo projects, go to the MacStarLogo website.  The projects below are all written for the Java version of StarLogo

 
BIOLOGY    
Bees See how bees can make honeycombs using simple behaviors.
Firefly Fireflies flash randomly, then slowly start to blink together.
Slime Slime-mold cells aggregate into clusters, using a chemical pheromone.
Termites Termites follow simple instructions and pile up the woodchips.
Rabbits A predator-prey system of rabbits and grass.
GRAPHICS    
Horn Watch the horn grow across the screen.
Ant-Trails The motion of the turtles is determined by the color patch they walk over. Interesting patterns emerge.
Turtle Graphics Each turtle draws simple lines, but the collection of turtles creates a beautiful picture.
MATH    
Circle Use StarLogo to create circles in a new way. The turtles themselves become the circle.
Gaussian Balls fall through a triangle of obstacles, creating a Gaussian distribution.
Sirpinski Creates three different simple Sirpinski fractals.
Tree A parallel approach for drawing recursive trees.
PHYSICS    
DLA Diffusion Limited Aggregation. Create fractals with simple rules.
Rope Waves travel along a rope, demonstrating sinusoidal motion and resonance.
Perfume Diffusion of perfume.
Collisions Particles collide with each other, randomly changing their energy and direction. Illustrates the use of grab.
SOCIAL SYSTEMS    
Traffic Model the movement of cars on a highway. Watch the cars form traffic jams.
Sugarscape Agents collect sugar. Based on the artificial society Sugarscape conceived of by J. Epstein and R. Axtell. Illustrates the use of leap.
