StarLogo TNG 1.0pr4
StarLogo TNG is The Next Generation of StarLogo modeling and simulation software. While this version holds true to the premise of StarLogo as a tool to create and understand simulations of complex systems, it also brings with it several advances. Through TNG we hope to- Lower the barrier to entry for programming by making programming easier.
- Entice more young people into programming through tools that facilitates making games.
- Create compelling 3D worlds that encompass rich games and simulations.
We released the first 'preview' edition in January 2006, and the second preview in May 2006, with a final version expected in summer 2006. It is Java based and is available on Windows and Mac OS X (as a universal binary) with a Linux versions coming soon. Some features include:
- 3D models in MD3 (Quake 3) and OBJ formats
- Terrain editor for designing levels
- Joystick and keyboard inputs
- 1st and 3rd person views
- 'Say' bubbles to communicate text
- Easy yet powerful and innovative visual programming language
