features that take advantage of the mobile platforms that it is built for, such as
sensor, gesture, and sound support, and includes a bundled physics
extension. As this is a <b>public beta

aims to give learners, especially young learners, a fun way to learn
agent-based modeling and programming. It enables users to build models using NetLogo’s usual text-based language and also includes Horn & Wilensky’s block-based programming interface, NetTango, and features for authoring<i> interactive
guidance for models</i>. An array of new extensions enable model authors to
respond to users’ actions through <i>gesture
