Common Uses
Useful for simulations that require recursion, or agents that can act as the base case.
Example
The model below shows two different types of elephants living in the same environment. 'Hungry elephants' prioritize eating more grass higher than 'elephant' agents do. All elephants must eat grass in order to survive and reproduce. At the end of the simulation, if you wish to see how many elephants of each type that were in the first generation are still alive, you can push the 'Highlight First Generation' button, which turns all 'elephants' that were in the first generation magenta and all 'hungry elephants' that were in the first generation yellow.
