"StarLogo Multimedia Design"

StarLogo TNG is the next generation of Logo programming environments. With its new graphical programming language, students can construct programs by snapping together puzzle-piece like statements, and their programs control animated agents in a 3D world. StarLogo TNG lowers the barriers to entry for learning to program. It can be used to construct simulations in a variety of domains such as biology (predator prey dynamics, epidemiology, evolution), chemistry (brownian motion, reaction kinetics, osmosis), and physics (velocity and acceleration, gravity, orbits). It can also be used to develop a variety of 3D games (adventure, arcade, strategy, action and puzzle games).
