Guide to Using the Grape Boycott Simulation

• To start the simulation, press the Button at the bottom of the applet.
• To add new agents in the simulation, from the Gallery select the agent you wish to add, select the "Pencil Tool" and then place the agent wherever you want in the Worksheet.
• To erase an agent, select the "Eraser Tool" and then click on the agent you want to have erased (due to a bug, erasing sometimes does not take effect until you stop the simulation or you may need to wait a few seconds for erasing to take place).
• To stop the simulation, press the Button

Things to try out with the simulation:

1. Run the worksheets we created for you and see what happens.
2. Take the Cesar Chavez agent out of the simulation. What do you observe?
3. Take Cesar's representatives out of the simulations and see what happens.
4. Build your own worlds with different configurations of workers, the town etc.

(Note from the AgentSheets developers: Due to different implementations of Java on the various platforms and browsers, there is no guarantee that the applet will run on all combinations of the above. On Macintosh machines, we recommend that you run the Java applet using Internet Explorer 4.0 and above or Netscape with the MRJ plug-in. On Windows machines, we recommend that you run it using Internet Explorer 4.0 and above or Netscape 4.5.)
