Motion II Project
This page requires a plugin available from Logo Computer Systems.
This project builds on Motion. I've added the ability to place magnets on the field.
This is a work in progress. There are a few bugs, the magnets aren't quit right and it can be a real compute hog when the number of magnets exceeds three or so.
However I think this is a good example of what Logo can do.
When placing magnets on the field there are a few rules that seem to give the most interesting results. First keep the number of turtles below three, second keep the speed of the turtles low. When placing magnets try to keep close clusters of magnets below three per cluster.
Here are a couple of things you can try:
- Place a negative (blue) magnet in each corner and one in the center. Set the turtle's velocity to 4. Set the heading to 45.
- Try to achieve orbit around a magnet. A +900 magnet and a turtle velocity of 6 is a good place to start.
