Ha! Of course. Well, since you don't say what the "error" was, I suppose it's no skin off my nose. Both Windows and NetLogo are abominations. You choose your poison. >8^D If we take your "schooled to write a program yourself" point seriously, VoC would be the clear choice. If, instead, Miles is familiar enough with NetLogo to "write a program himself", then NetLogo is the clear choice. You'll get "errors" no matter which one you choose.
I also thought VoC might help you bridge to some of Jon's intuitions about DLA: https://softologyblog.wordpress.com/category/diffusion-limited-aggregation/ But the old "I can't get it installed" problem is the very thing "edge computing in the browser" is supposed to solve. So, c'est la vie.
