How do you put in the raytracing code correctly in order to make a video?

Sun, 26 Jan 2020 21:26:31 +0000

So I know the code to make the movie is on the handout:

repeat 60 [
go
raytracing:render-next-movie-frame]

But I am unsure of where to put that in my code to successfully make my movie, because it did not work for me when making the movie for our last assignment.

Random generation question

Fri, 24 Jan 2020 14:58:34 +0000

The actual art for my final is coming together but I cannot get my random generation to work. I want it so that each of the hills, thesky, the background, and the extra objects have a one in three chance of being selected when generating. Here's the code.

to gen-hills
  if random 3 = 0 [
    grassy-hills
  ]
  if random 3 = 1 [
    sandy-hills
  ]
  if random 3 = 2 [
    snowy-hills
  ]
end

to gen-sky
  if random 3 = 0 [
    morning
  ]
  if random 3 = 1 [
    sunset
  ]
  if random 3 = 2 [
    nighttime
  ]
end

to gen-back
  if random 3 = 0 [
    town
  ]
  if random 3 = 1 [
    forest
  ]
  if random 3 = 2 [
    ocean
  ]
end

to gen-extras
  if random 3 = 0 [
    birds
  ]
  if random 3 = 1 [
    clouds
  ]
  if random 3 = 2 [
    planes
  ]
end

My logic is that each option will have a one in three chance in being created which is why I have them reach doing "random 3." But sometimes when I run the code I get multiple things overlapping or not being drawn correctly or nothing being drawn at all. What steps should I take to remedy this problem?

Fri, 24 Jan 2020 14:27:36 +0000

Is there a way to only have certain turtles die off after a certain amount of ticks, but keep others?

Tue, 21 Jan 2020 14:56:11 +0000

This is my code that has the turtles die, but I have another button that spawns in other turtles that I want to run simultaneously, but all the turtles in that one also die when this happens.

to create-explosion
      ask turtles [
        facexyz 0 0 0
        ifelse (pxcor) = 0 and (pycor) = 0 [
          set size size + 0.1
        ]
        [
          fd 0.1
        ]
      ]
    
      ask patches [
        if ticks > 500 [set pcolor 12 + random 16]
        if ticks > 550 [ set pcolor black]
      ]
      ask turtles [
        if ticks = 650 [die]]
