There is no better way to learn about AgentSheets than by playing with existing projects. Here you will find a collection of representative AgentSheets projects. You can either run them online as applets or download the source and run them within the application.

Ultimate Pacman
An arcade classic: Your objective is to have the Packman eat as many pills as you can and to avoid being touched by the wandering ghosts. This is a pretty challenging and quite complete version of the Pacman game including smart ghosts, score keeping, power pills, and multiple lives

Virus Attack
A simulation to understand the basic mechanism of virus. Does the number of people infected by the virus go up linearly or is there some other function behind the rate of growth? How fast does the virus spread? What can be done to contain the virus?

Accretion
A model of the accretion process in which particles move around until they encounter a stationary particle and stick to it. This is the process underlying natural phenomena such as crystallization.

The Voting Game
The Voting Game is a simple model of the political process based on the games studied by Peter Donnelly of the University College of Swansea in Wales and Dominc Welch of the University of Oxford. The simulation includes voters who randomly get assigned to be Democrats or Republicans. In the course of the simulation, these voters change political opinions by adapting to the political beliefs of one of their 8 neighbors.

Prozac Simulator
Do you like to know what Prozac can do to your brain? This is a working model of a serotonin synapse. See the serotonin molecules move around the presynaptic nerve terminal. Add antidepressant Prozac and observe how it is gradually metabolized (disappears in the model), and the equilibrium will reverse as you watch the model run.

Californian Grape Boycot
An interactive story explaining some of the issues of the 1965 Californian Grape Boycot organized by Cesar Chavez.
In just 2 weeks Claire Peterson, Susana Diaz, Maya Vigil created this project in a class about Protest and Reform. They had never programmed or created multimedia content before.

2D Bubble Sort
Who said that bubble short is just about sorting linear strings of numbers? This simulation explores the ideas of representing numbers as colors and sorting 2 dimensional arrays. Change the values while they are sorted.

E. Coli Model
Created by people at NASA exploring the growth of E. Coli bacteria in microgravity. The actual test tubes went 4 times up with a space shuttle and one was in the MIR space station. Contains a couple of thousand agents. This is only an early prototype of a more complex simulation.
