Re: [FRIAM] github pages...
Just to add to the narrative one thing I've found potentially nice about gitpages is that with some file or folder-jitsu I can get a back up. I'm always a little woried my wordpress projects (for instance) could go poof, or something else goes wrong. While I'm no Git expert by anymeens it does look to track changes. So if something does go wrong someone might be able to undue it and that's always a good thing. While setting up an acount on git as my other one looks to have gone poot I found some Content Managers others might like for one reason or another. As it's a hobby side to web-making I didn't dig all that deep or get into technical pro's and cons: Kirby: http://getkirby.com/ PencilBlue: NodeJS goodness- I've played with it some on redhats OpenShift (not open Blip) and finally:Pulse http://www.pulsecms.com/ FWIW Kirby's Devs did a Q'nA on Stackverflow earlier this year it might go creativecommons such that someone for personal project type use could use it free but for professional comercialy kind of use, you'd have to pay for a license. I have no idea what all the status of that is. On Wed, Jul 8, 2015 at 8:52 PM, Gillian Densmore wrote: > I dig wordpress for somethings, yet I also like to make webpages as a > hobby.

Re: [FRIAM] github pages...
Bullet Physics is a nice way to represent an environment and to represent the agents. Physical interaction between agents and/or static objects is directly reported.

It was something that made it a bit easier to understand what was going on in the model and between the nodes -- more a reporting mechanism than an inherent part of the model. Well, that, plus it looked cooler. Using 3D as an inherent part of the model's behavior is another thing entirely. In that case, the model would require the physical 3 dimensional location of each agent (and the environment) to be critical to the behavior of the agents -- and something that couldn't be easily represented in 2D with the 3rd dimension handled separately. We started to look at using animation software, such as Maya, to do the modeling, but didn't make much progress before our animator moved on.

Hi Owen, we've done some work using Processing to do 3D visualization in NetLogo -- both by opening an Processing window from a running NetLogo model and by running NetLogo headless from a Processing program (and doing real-time visualization of the running model).
