Agent

2022-08-10T18:53:08Z

Rev: Added category

Agents are the backbone of StarLogo Nova. Agents are the objects commonly seen moving around [[SpaceLand]]. Different types of agents are refereed to as "breeds". A specific individual part part of breed is called an "instance".

==Creation & Deletion==
Agents are created using [[Code Blocks|code blocks]] such as:
*{{Block|l|create}}
*{{Block|Create Each Do|create [_] [▼](s) each do}}.
Agents can be deleting using blocks such as:
*{{Block|l|delete}}
*{{Block|Delete Everyone|delete everyone}}
*{{Block|Delete Agent|delete agent [_]}}

==Code Execution==
Agents execute [[code block]]s under their specified [[tab]] in the [[workspace]]. The code written under the tab can be thought of a set of instructions each agent makes a copy of and follows individually.

==Traits==
All Agents have a set of traits. Traits are variables that are individual to each instance of an agent. Each time a agent is created, it also copies the default values for traits and stores it's own version of the variables.

Agents have the following built-in traits:
*id
**a unique number given to each instance (cannot manually be set)
*breed
**the type of agent
*x
*y
*z
*heading
*color
*shape
*size

Custom traits can be created for each breed. Custom traits can be used to track values per instance.

<section begin="image"/>[[File:Random To.png|alt=The random to block|thumb]]<section end="image"/>
<section begin="name" />'''{{Block|random [_] to [_]}}'''<section end="name" /> is a [[code block]] part of the [[Math]] drawer.
==Usage==
{{Block|random [_] to [_]}} defines the upper and lower bounds of a range from which a random number is generated. The number is generated between and including the set limits.

===Syntax===
<code>random [number] to [number]</code>

== Common Uses ==
*The {{Block|random [_] to [_]}} block is most commonly used for random movement. When inserted into a [[Movements]] block such as the {{#vardefineecho:cedol|<code>[[Left By Degs|left by [_] degs</code>]]}} combined with the {{#vardefineecho:cedol|<code>[[Forward|forward[_]</code>]]}} block, an agent will wander throughout [[Spaceland]] in a random direction.

==Related Blocks==
*{{Block|Left By Degs|left by [_] degs}}
*{{Block|Right By Degs|right by [_] degs}}

Agents are the backbone of StarLogo Nova. Agents are the objects commonly seen moving around [[SpaceLand]]. Different types of agents are refereed to as "breeds". A specific individual part part of breed is called an "instance".

== Creation & Deletion ==
Agents are created using [[Code Blocks|code blocks]] such as:

Agents can be deleting using blocks such as:
*{{Block|l|delete}}
*{{Block|Delete Everyone|delete everyone}}
*{{Block|Delete Agent|delete agent [_]}}

<section begin="image"/>[[File:On Collision With Do Block.png|alt=The on collision with do block|thumb]]<section end="image"/>
<section begin="name" />'''{{Block|on collision with [▼] do}}'''<section end="name" /> is a code block from the [[Detection]] drawer.

==Usage==
{{Block|on collision with [▼] do}} begins the execution of a [[stack]] of code when a [[collision]] is detected with a specific type of agent denoted in the drop down selector. The agent collided with is known as the "collidee". This agent can be referenced using the {{Block|l|collidee}} block.

===Syntax===
<code>on collision with [Dropdown: Type of Agent] do [code]</code>

==Nuances==
{{Block|on collision with [▼] do}} cannot be used as a [[conditional]] such as {{Block|l|if}}. {{Block|on collision with [▼] do}} must begin a [[stack]] of code.

<section begin=name/>'''{{Block|set world [▼] to [_]}}'''<section end=name/> is a [[code block]] part of the [[Environment]] drawer.

==Usage==
{{Block|set world [▼] to [_]}} is used to set [[trait]]s of the [[world]] in a similar way to agents.

===Syntax===
<code>set world [Dropdown: Trait Selection] to [Socket: Data]</code>

==Nuances==
This block is used to soley modify custom [[trait]]s of the [[world]]. The traits of [[agents]] are modified using the {{Block|set my to|set my [▼] to [_]}}.

==Usage==

{{#vardefine:create|<code>create [_] [▼](s)</code>}}
<section begin=name/>'''<code>create [_] [▼](s)</code>'''<section end=name/> is a [[code block]] part of the [[agents]] drawer.
==Usage==

<code>create [_] [▼](s)</code> is used to populate [[Spaceland]] with [[agent]]s.

===Syntax===

<code> create [Textbox: Number] [Dropdown: Type of Agent](s) </code>

==Nuances==

An important difference between {{#var:create}} and {{#vardefineecho:cedol|<code>[[Create Each Do|create [_] [▼](s) each do</code>]]}} is that {{#vardefineecho:cedo|<code>create [_] [▼](s) each do</code>}} allows a section of code to run individually for each [[agent]] that is created. {{#var:create}} only creates agents with the default [[trait]]s in the center of [[Spaceland]].

{{#var:cedol}} can be useful for [[randomizing traits]] and [[scattering agents without effecting others]].
