This week I expanded my Netlogo project. My original Netlogo project demonstrated populations of males and females moving and reproducing. In my new Netlogo project, I added a contagious disease, a quarantine zone for the disease, and doctors to cleanse people of the disease. I am going to use this model as a "cheat sheet" for my group project. By this I mean I'm going to use the scripting in this one as a reference in case I forget how a certain code functions, or how to use code to achieve a certain effect, etc.

This class we learned about CSS. CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets and is used to stylize your web page. Like HTML, I already knew about CSS beforehand, but I refreshed my knowledge and learned some addition CSS while I was at it. Now my web page is using two to three times as much CSS as it was before, and I plan to use even more. I did however run into some CSS problems that I haven't been able to fix so far, which is part of the reason that if you're not using the Safari web browser the links on the top of the logo might be mis-aligned.

Today, I continued to develop a three-column layout for my web page at Shodor. I hope to expand this into multiple skins and multiple pages later. Before now, I've been using a two-column layout, which is not capable of showing as much informatino as a three-column layout. Because of this, there is now some information that wasn't previously here. I added some websites that I frequent and some website badges.

This week I learned about using Agentsheets. Agentsheets is a program that allows you to create simulations. Agentsheets uses predefined If, Then statements to determine what to do. So far, Agentsheets seems like an easy way out of making simulations, and for lack of a better word, looks a little childish. The fact that you use a graphical interface rather than a text-based code certainly doesn't help.
