Now it's time for a program but seems aimed at children, serves well for all ages. StarLogo TNG is, that is, as its developers say, the next generation of StarLogo, the simulation and modeling software. StarLogo
support for the creation and understanding of complex systems. One of the advantages of StarLogo TNG is that it lowers the entry barrier that means scheduling, making it easy. reminds me of "Cocoa" although it is clear that StarLogo is a broader sense. Like "Cocoa" or Stage Creator introduces children to programming tools that help them build or game programming. It is gratifying to creating complex 3D worlds that serve to processes for enriching a simulation game created by the child or adult.
StarLogo is based on Java and runs on both Mac OS X and Windows and is being tested for Linux. The program includes 3D medel MD · (Quake 3) and a terrain editor OBJ formats in addition to its powerful and innovative visual programming language.
Like its predecessor, StarLogo (now OpenStarLogo), is an environment to model and explore the work of decentralized systems (systems that are organized without an organizer, coordinated without a coordinator). With StarLogo TNG can be modeled (and get better understanding) of many real-life phenomena as the behavior of flocks, the "bottlenecks" or get stuck in traffic, ant colonies, and even the market economy. Do not forget we're talking about a software program for children;)
is worth noting that the management of decentralized systems of patterns can occur without centralized control. There is an upward trend to opt for decentralized models both in organizations such as technological models. However, too many people are resistant to these ideas and assumes that we need a leader with a centralized control where it is known that there is (such as birds flying in flocks. StarLogo TNG helps to understand a world of decentralized system.
StarLogo is definitely a very good piece educational software that helps improve the understanding of the world, cognitive performance and creativity . And best of all it's free. It is not OpenSource, but at least it's free.
