EXTENDING THE MODEL
Modify the model to show fixed point representation; that is, specify a given number of digits to the right of the decimal place.Allow the user to input a starting digit pattern.
Allow the user to input a decimal number, and then display the corresponding digit pattern.
NETLOGO FEATURES
Extensive use is made of "patch-at" and "BREED-at".It was awkward when it should be impossible to have more than one turtle at a given location to be required to say "random-one-of" in order to return a single turtle instead of an agent set.

HomeApplets on this website were written by Teresa Carrigan in 2004, for use in computer science courses at Blackburn College, with the exception of the Fireworks applet. The applets made with NetLogo require Java 1.4.1 or higher to run. The applets made with NetBeans require Java 1.4.2 or higher to run. Applets might not run on Windows 95 or Mac OS 8 or 9. You may obtain the latest Java plugin from Sun's Java site.
