Integrating NetLogo and Java : when should we think about this integration as a good option? <p>I just came to know about this excellent tutorials</p> <p><a href="http://scientificgems.wordpress.com/2013/12/11/integrating-netlogo-and-java-part-1/" rel="nofollow">http://scientificgems.wordpress.com/2013/12/11/integrating-netlogo-and-java-part-1/</a> <a href="http://scientificgems.wordpress.com/2013/12/12/integrating-netlogo-and-java-2/" rel="nofollow">http://scientificgems.wordpress.com/2013/12/12/integrating-netlogo-and-java-2/</a> <a href="http://scientificgems.wordpress.com/2013/12/13/integrating-netlogo-and-java-3/" rel="nofollow">http://scientificgems.wordpress.com/2013/12/13/integrating-netlogo-and-java-3/</a></p> <p>Their example concerns about computation needed for patch diffusion and shows how to access patch variable from java and change them in netlogo.</p> <p>I was wondering if anyone has any idea or comments on when we should think of writing an extension to make our model work better? I am new to netlogo itself, but I think it's good to know what are the options that I might not be aware of :) </p>
