NetLogo is a multi-agent programmable modeling environment. It is used for simulating natural and social phenomena. It was created by Uri Wilensky in 1999. NetLogo is particularly well-suited for modeling complex systems developing over time. The models in NetLogo are called "turtle" models, where "turtles" are the basic units that follow simple rules. These turtles interact with each other and their environment, which can lead to the emergence of complex collective behaviors.

NetLogo is widely used in various fields, including biology, ecology, social science, mathematics, and education. It is known for its user-friendly interface and its ability to create both simple and complex models. The software is open-source and can be downloaded for free. It is available for Windows, MacOS, and Linux operating systems.

NetLogo models are typically written in a simple, Logo-based language. This language allows users to define the behavior of turtles and their environment. The models can be run in real-time or in batch mode for data collection. NetLogo also includes a variety of tools for data analysis and visualization.

NetLogo has a large and active community of users. There are numerous models available online, created by users from around the world. These models can be a great resource for learning about NetLogo and for exploring different types of simulations. The community also provides support through forums and other online resources.
