AgentScript is a minimalist Agent Based modeling system based on NetLogo semantics.
It has a Model/View architecture for which this is the Model. A set of Views will be provided in the future.
One such Three.js View is provided by as-app3d. Here is fire model, and a flocking model.
Obserable is also useful for Views, see: this example
AgentScript is based on es6 Modules (ESM) which are delivered as two Rollup bundles:
* UMD: agentscript.umd.js
* ESM: agentscript.esm.js
The UMD can be used in the browser as a <script> tag, and in Node using require()
The ESM is used in es6 import statements.
Both are available in minified form. All are in the project's dist/ directory.
The UMD's global name is AS
AgentScript is available as a npm scoped package: @redfish/agentscript.
To install the package, yarn add @redfish/agentscript. This places the bundles in node_modules/@redfish/agentscript/dist
To use the package as a CDN, use unpkg.com.
View the unpkg.dashboard: https://unpkg.com/@redfish/agentscript/
To clone the github repo:
- cd to where you want the agentscript/ dir to appear.
- git clone https://github.com/backspaces/agentscript
- cd agentscript # go to new repo
- yarn install # install all dev dependencies
- yarn build # complete the install
All workflow is npm run scripts. See package.json's scripts, or use yarn run for a list. JavaScript Standard Style is used.
A gh-page is used for the site. It contains the dist/ dir and a models/ dir with sample models also used for testing.
It uses the docs/ simplification for gh-page creation.
The gh-page hosts our sample models. The fire model can be run with:
The Github page can be used as a CDN for experimental use:
- UMD: https://backspaces.github.io/agentscript/dist/agentscript.umd.js
- ESM: https://backspaces.github.io/agentscript/dist/agentscript.esm.js
Our directory layout is:
bin: workflow scripts
dist: the umd and esm bundles with their min.js versions.
docs: gh-page
models: sample models used for tests and demos
src: individual agentscript es6 modules
test: test files
