Model multiple Agents

[Erlix322]

Hey Joël,

is there any example modeling multiple Agents of different types within a model?
I looked through the docs but I think I'm still missing something. :D

Would I create different classes of the Agent type and create agent1, agent2,..., agent n in the Model to let them interact?

Maybe you can give me a quick overview on how to do this.

Hi @Erlix322, you are right that there is no example for this in the docs yet. You would have to define two agent classes (e.g. AgentType1 and AgentType2) and initiate a model for example as follows:

class MyModel(ap.Model):
    def setup(self):
        self.type1_agents = ap.AgentList(self, 10, AgentType1)
        self.type2_agents = ap.AgentList(self, 10, AgentType2)
        self.all_agents = self.type1_agents + self.type2_agents

You can then use these three lists to access either agents of just one type, or all agents together.

Awesome! Thank you very much!
