This file contains a step-by-step example of running your agents. It assumes that you have set your PATH and CLASSPATH appropriately (you can copy the example.profile file to your home directory and rename it .profile if you like. Don't forget to change the CLASSPATH value to make it point to the right place).

First, start the simulator by following the instructions in starting_the_simulator.

Lines beginning with a % show what you actually type on the prompt. After logging in we see this:

Once the simulator reaches timestep 301 the AgentSystem will terminate. You can now stop the simulation by pressing return twice on the other terminal.
