Interface

Interface blocks enable creation of user interfaces and interactive elements in your simulation.

Overview

Interface blocks allow you to create interactive controls, display data, and manage user interactions in your StarLogo Nova simulations. These blocks are essential for building engaging, user-controlled simulations with buttons, sliders, graphs, and data displays.
