SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on simulating Parrondo's games using NetLogo, specifically version 5.2. The user seeks guidance on creating simulations to explore Parrondo's paradox, where alternating between two losing games results in a winning outcome. Key resources mentioned include the official NetLogo user manual, a tutorial by Alan G. Isaac, and a quick start guide for experienced programmers. The user expresses a need for more advanced guidance beyond basic tutorials.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with NetLogo 5.2 programming environment
  • Understanding of Parrondo's paradox and its mechanics
  • Basic programming skills, preferably in C or similar languages
  • Knowledge of graph theory concepts
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore advanced NetLogo simulation techniques for game theory
  • Study Parrondo's paradox in-depth through academic papers
  • Review the NetLogo quick start guide for efficient coding practices
  • Watch tutorials on implementing game simulations in NetLogo
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for programmers, game theorists, and researchers interested in simulating complex systems and exploring the implications of Parrondo's paradox using NetLogo.

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.
