Re: [Repast-interest] How to get started with Repast?

Hi Heiner,

I have been working with Repast S for the last two-three months. I must
say I like Simphony and have not (even) looked at J because that seems
to be end-of-life... (no more development).

In fact I only do Java in S. I have looked at the Groovy code generation
(through the tutorial at
http://repast.sourceforge.net/docs/tutorial/SIM/index.html) but quickly
moved to writing my own code. There is some pointers as to how to do
that under
http://repast.sourceforge.net/docs/tutorial/SIM/3-98%20Creating%20a%20Mo
del%20with%20Java%20Objects.html

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Willem

Subject: [Repast-interest] How to get started with Repast?

Dear all,

I've got a basic question: How do I get started with Repast?

Shall I use RepastJ (I am familiar with Java), or Repast Simphony? What 
are their advantages and disadvantages? Is it possible to write Java 
code in combination with Repast Simphony? If so, is there a tutorial?

I started with "Getting started with Repast Simphony" available at 
sourceforge. However, I didn't get quite far. The document refers to 
Repast Simphony 3.1 and some things seem to have changed in Repast 
Simphony 3.2 which I downloaded. Is there an updated version of "Getting

started ..." ? I also didn't succeed in loading freeze-dried data. The 
error message says that I placed gasNodes outside the grid, but I
didn't.

Thanks for any hints,

Heiner
