SugarscapeCW (1.0.0)

This program attempts to replicate the classic model, Sugarscape, as described in Epstein & Axtell (1996). Most of the functions are provided, and qualitatively similar (if not numerically indistinguishable) results can be obtained from experiments in most cases. Many people have tried to replicate some or all of Sugarscape. This is my attempt.

Release Notes

This has been tested in Netlogo 5.2 under Windows 8.1. All functions of the original model have been replicated, apart from Diseases & Immune System (to follow in a later version).
