AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around seeking assistance with using NetLogo for simulations related to Parrondo's games. The user expresses a desire to explore this programming language but feels overwhelmed and lacks sufficient guidance despite reviewing the official user manual. They have a background in C programming but need help setting up their simulations, specifically for Parrondo's paradox, which involves alternating between two losing games to achieve a winning outcome. They are looking for more advanced resources and tutorials beyond basic introductions, as they aim to effectively sketch out their simulation ideas. The conversation includes links to various NetLogo resources, including user manuals and tutorials, to aid in their learning process.

Hi guys, how do you do?
I'm sorry to ask your help, (again!) but I'm having trouble using NetLogo.
I'd like to "play" with this program, to run simulations, but I have no idea how I can do it.
I wrote an article about Parrondo's games ( nothing special! ). Now, I'd like to try creating a new code for my simulations. Could you tell me what I need?
I'm looking for tutorial online (youtube and all the sites about this argument), but it is not enough.
Thanks in advance for your advices!

NetLogo is quite an interesting language. Especially if you have a background in graph theory.

If you need an extensive intro, here is the official NetLogo 5.2 user manual: http://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/docs/

If you want more information, see this NetLogo tutorial written by Alan G. Isaac: https://subversion.american.edu/aisaac/notes/netlogo-intro.xhtml

If you are a programmer with experience, and just want to jump right in, see the NetLogo quick start guide: http://luis.izqui.org/resources/NetLogo-5-0-QuickGuide.pdf
 
Hi Zondrina, thank you for answering me.
I have read the user manual on the official site of NetLogo, but it is not enough (too simple) for what I need.
I found very interesting the second link that you have selected for me.
I used to do programming in C but it was a long time ago and I don't remember nothing more.
I don't understand how I should to set up my "exercise". I'm going to look into Parrondo's paradox ( there are no tutorials on youtube): I know that game A and game B are losing games when played in isolation. Game A is a simple coin toss; game B is composed of two coins: the first one is "good", the second one is "bad".
When I switch periodically or randomly between the two losing games, surprisingly, I win.
How could I sketch out this? ( I need to put my minds - and last words - into order :)
I'm going to try to do that.
 
Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...
I have a quick questions. I am going through a book on C programming on my own. Afterwards, I plan to go through something call data structures and algorithms on my own also in C. I also need to learn C++, Matlab and for personal interest Haskell. For the two topic of data structures and algorithms, I understand there are standard ones across all programming languages. After learning it through C, what would be the biggest issue when trying to implement the same data...
