Create Each Do

Creates the specified number of agents of the selected breed. Each newly created agent immediately follows the directions specified in "do".

Create Each Do block

Description​

The created agents have the default shape, color, and size specified in their breed's 'Show Traits' area. They are created in the middle of the terrain, on the ground (x=0, y=0, z=0), with their headings evenly distributed, starting at 0 degrees (e.g. if 4 are created, one will start out facing toward each of the 4 sides of spaceland.) The turtles then follow the instructions provided within the each do hook once.

Usage​

Create Each Do is used to populate Spaceland with agents and then run a stack of code individually for each agent. This can be useful for making many agents and setting different traits for each.

Syntax​

Inputs in this block:

  • A number in the socket
  • A breed from the dropdown menu
  • Relevant code
Create Each Do syntax example

Example​

When setup is pushed, The World creates 100 turtles, and each of those turtles follow the instructions within the "each do" block. In this example, each turtle takes on a random color and moves to a random position in spaceland. All turtles are created, change color, and relocate in one tick of the StarLogo clock.

Notes​

Create Each Do is very similar to Create. Both create agents, but generally Create Each Do allows for more complex initialization.

  • Create - Creates agents without individual initialization commands
