Agentbase: Agent based modeling in the browser

Abstract

AgentBase.org allows for Agent Based Modeling (ABM) directly in the browser. One can edit, save, and share models without installing any software or even reloading the page. Models use the AgentBase Library, and are written in CoffeeScript, which is instantly interpreted as JavaScript. The AgentBase Library provides a rich set of resources for moving and drawing agents, neighbour detection, and other things expected from ABM toolsets. AgentBase is optimized for making illustrative models. It is opinionated software which values simplicity and clean model code over CPU performance.
