WHAT IS IT?

(it is a solor system model modelling the sun with the 8 planets orbiting it. end-of-universe makes all the planets move towards the sun. Stars lets you make stars, which you can clear with kill stars. )

HOW IT WORKS

(the planets face the sun,turn 90 degrees, and go foward 0.1, then repeat that at each tick.)

HOW TO USE IT

(press the different buttons to change things about the model, setup will set up the sun and the planets, and go will start the planets orbits)

THINGS TO TRY

(press all the buttons, you can bring in stars, or kill planets and control your solor system)

EXTENDING THE MODEL

(you could add color to the orbit and make a spiral, or make a rocket ship flying through the sky )

NETLOGO FEATURES

( ask turtles with [who > 0 ] is asking the turtles to apply something to the turtles while excluding other turtles. for example, if you wanted to have one turtle have one color, and have the other turtles with another color, you could use ask turtles with [who > 0 ][ set color 0] which makes all the turtles that are not turtle 0 black)
