Whats the difference between StarLogo, MacStarLogo, StarLogoT, and NetLogo?
The original StarLogo was developed at the MIT Media Lab in 1989-1990 and ran on a massively parallel supercomputer called the Connection Machine. A few years later (1994), a simulated parallel version was developed for the Macintosh computer. That version eventually became MacStarLogo. StarLogoT (1997), developed at the Center for Connected Learning and Computer-Based Modeling (CCL), is essentially an extended version of MacStarLogo with many additional features and capabilities. Since then two multi-platform Java-based multi-agent Logos have been developed: NetLogo (from the CCL) and a Java-based version of StarLogo (from MIT). The NetLogo language and environment differ in many respects from MIT StarLogo’s. Both languages were inspired by the original StarLogo, but were redesigned in different ways. NetLogo’s design was driven by the need to revise and expand the language so it is easier to use and more powerful, and by the need to support the HubNet architecture. NetLogo also incor
