L2 UNIT 2: CONTAGION & FOREST FIRE
Congratulations on completing Unit 1: Getting Started! Now that you know your way around AgentCubes Online, let's make some 3D magic! The object of this unit "Contagion & Forest Fire" is to show that AgentCubes can be used for more than just creating games. It can also be used to create simulations or "sims". Have you ever played Sim City? Sim City is a "game" that actually simulates the interactions that take place within a city. To get started with this unit, first click the green button below and read the Contagion Notes SIMPLE. Then, watch the video tutorials in order to make your Contagion and Forest Fire simulations. Once you have a working sim that is free of bugs and glitches, elaborate on it by making a larger world, add more agents or change your programming to see how it affects your simulation. What can you change to make the contagion spread more easily? What can you change to slow down the spread of the forest fire? If you would like to challenge yourself, click the Contagion Notes ADVANCED to learn advanced programming techniques. Practice your skills because in the next unit you will design and create your very own sim!
