Fwd: [netlogo-users] NetLogo Web release announcement

[Stephen Guerin]

Congratulations, Uri!

---------------------

The Center for Connected Learning and Computer-Based Modeling at Northwestern University is pleased to announce the release of NetLogo Web which can be accessed online at http://www.netlogoweb.org/.

NetLogo Web is a version of NetLogo that runs entirely within your browser. That means NetLogo Web will run on most hardware platforms, including platforms that the NetLogo application can’t run on, such as tablets, Chromebooks and smart phones. In the short term, NetLogo Web aims to replace NetLogo applets as a means of easily distributing NetLogo models. However, it already includes features not available in applets, like the NetLogo Command Center. In the longer run, NetLogo Web will have most of the features of the desktop version of NetLogo. Currently, it is easy to go back and forth between NetLogo and NetLogo Web versions of models, as well as to publish models written in NetLogo to the web.

While the desktop version of NetLogo is still recommended for most uses, NetLogo Web runs most NetLogo Models Library models, and supports the majority of the NetLogo language primitives. NetLogo Web additionally offers limited support for editing model info and code. For more information, on using NetLogo Web, see http://www.netlogoweb.org/info/. 

Since NetLogo Web is a browser-based application, it will be in continuous “live” development, meaning every time you access it, you may find something new and different.

Creating NetLogo Web was a resource-intensive undertaking for the CCL Lab. Maintaining the many projects in the NetLogo ecosystem and supporting the needs of our users also requires considerable resources.
