Hey Daniel, That `BrowserCompiler` method takes in a whole nlogo file, so you'll need to pass something that has a whole file's worth of info: https://github.com/NetLogo/NetLogo/wiki/File-%28.nlogo%29-and-Widget-Format
Most of those sections can be blank, and you'd put your code in the "code tab" section. But it looks like you're trying to run some bare commands. For that you're going to need to use a different `BrowserCompiler` method. Check out the `run`, `runReporter`, and `runBabyBehaviorSpace` methods on the `session-lite.coffee` in Galapagos for examples of that: https://github.com/NetLogo/Galapagos/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/beak/session-lite.coffee#L237-L330 -Jeremy On Wednesday, July 3, 2019 at 6:06:42 AM UTC-5, Daniel Graungaard wrote: > > The answer provided in #3 was exactly what I was looking for.
