| WHAT IS IT? |
| My own version of the Vants model, with a deterministic feature that makes it the same all the time. This model's context is the spreading of a (particular) rash, through scratching or other means by transferring the infection by clothing. |
| HOW IT WORKS |
|
What makes the rash particular is that it spreads by creating one turtle, having it move forward one, then it turns blue on a right turn at 70 degrees, then turns red on left at 70 degrees also. It then goes forward for two more, then the program then loops into infinity (in a circle) whenever it gets to the point where it can't spread anymore. |
| HOW TO USE IT |
|

| THINGS TO NOTICE |
|
How it gets caught up in its own loop at the end. |
| EXTENDING THE MODEL |
| I plan on adding more to this code to see how much different I can make it. |
| NETLOGO FEATURES |
| I tried to create different shapes to see how they would interact with each other, but I'll have to try that again on another version on this program. |
