Any ideas on how to display a countdown on Netlogo 2D?

Question

I wanted to add some kind of countdown board then countdown from 3 to 0.

Answer 1

you could maybe do some timing with ticks to incorporate a countdown. Thats all I can think of

This is probably right. You could have certain turtles correspond to a certain tick number so that way when it hits a certain tick a turtle will draw a certain number out. That's what I'd do at least.

Thanks. I'll try that.

Answer 2

It may be difficult but you could try to design turtles that resemble these numbers, and then command them to show up one at a time as a countdown.

That's possible too.

Answer 3

another option would be to use the wait command.

Answer 4

I don't know how to show a number in netlogo. But in my opinion, you can create a small colored patch with "tick". For each tick, the opacity of the shape will run from 128 to 0 (0 means time's up)
