[edit] Week 4

Inspired by the discussion around non-algorithmic programming last week I made a new netlogo model:

• The model consists of a number of worms.
• If a worm hits another worm it will turn either right or left.
• If the worm does not hit another worm it goes straight ahead.
• The worms are set up in a random order.
• The worms can only move east, south, west, north, no in-the-middle degrees, only 90, 180, 270, 360.
  

The worms after they are set up in a random order:


After a while the worms will find a pattern where they do not have to turn right or left anymore. (emergence):
