• Run one of the Model Library examples for both:
  • Start the application
    • Click Model Library in the File menu, try these:
    • NetLogo: Art > Diffusion Graphics

      Note: move the 3D raindrop world by click & drag
    • To run either, click "Setup" then "Go"
    • To see the code, click on the Procedures tab
